I am a Licensed Mental Health Therapist with over 30 years of experience helping children, parents, and adults navigate life’s most difficult challenges. My work has centered on supporting clients through trauma, abuse, grief, loss (including death, separation, divorce, or immigration), parenting struggles, and relationship difficulties—whether at home, in the workplace, or in personal connections. When working with young children and parents, I use play—the natural language of childhood—to strengthen and deepen their bond, fostering trust, safety, and connection.

I love working with you if you are open to honest conversations! You are someone striving to go further in the world, but sometimes you feel confused and unsure about what is good about yourself, what can be changed, and why you are suffering. You may identify as Asian, an international student, LGBTQ+, or someone navigating the challenges of OPT, H1-B, and the green card journey. That is tough and stressful! I can personally and professionally relate to everything above, and I am here to help you.

I have been in practice for over 25 years and find my work very rewarding. I believe that therapy can help people feel more confident about their place in the world--more confident that the balance of goodness within themselves will allow them to go forward with their lives. I feel respect and gratitude towards my patients; their readiness to explore their areas of vulnerability has helped me to understand similar vulnerabilities within myself. I have learned from many sources; in this sense my approach is eclectic. It is important to tailor frequency and duration of treatment for each patient.

Most people solve most problems on their own or with help from friends, but that doesn’t always work. Troubles mount up. Upheavals catch you unawares. “Go to” solutions can leave you empty-handed. Even planned changes can be disorienting - new jobs, retirement, new relationships, going off to school, children leaving home. Sometimes people just need help coping, changing bad habits, or thinking through options. Other times people feel hemmed in by circumstances, or find they don’t recognize themselves in the life they lead and want to deepen their sense that the life they are living reflects their own values and choices.

Do you deal with anxiety, depression, relationship issues or difficulties at work or at school? Do past traumas interfere with your daily life? Do you have substance abuse issues including alcohol, drugs, or eating disorders? Would you like to feel better than you currently feel? Part of the reason why people feel this way is that they are having trouble finding their authentic self.
If you would like to move towards healing and growth to create a path that aligns with your values and aspirations, I can help you.

Many people I work with are outwardly functioning but feel internally overwhelmed—by anxiety at work or in relationships, persistent self-doubt, loneliness, or a quiet sense that something meaningful is missing. You may be navigating a life transition, carrying unresolved experiences from the past, or finding that strategies that once worked no longer do. Therapy can offer a structured, thoughtful space to slow down, understand what is happening beneath the surface, and begin to move forward with more clarity and steadiness.

Let’s be real… life can be hard, and I can totally agree. Are you looking for insight on how to take action steps toward change, learn how to cope with things out of your control, or just want to talk and feel heard while also working toward solutions? If you’re only looking to vent or complain without wanting to make changes, I’m probably not the therapist for you.
My ideal client is an adult ready to do the work, work toward their goals, and get support. I’ll support, challenge, and hold you accountable, but I won’t do the work for you. Let’s work together to get you in a better mindset and moving toward the life you want.

It is my responsibility to provide an environment where my patients feel comfortable so that I can figure out what they need to get better and together we can understand what gets in the way. Patients who have been in therapy with other therapists often tell me that they find our work together to be more helpful. They find that I am a good listener and therefore I respond in ways that patients find meaningful.

When life feels difficult, talking to a friend or loved one may be helpful. But when life starts to feel overwhelming, or even senseless, talking to a sensitive, caring professional who is trained to listen and knows what to listen for can help understand our feelings and how to deal with them.

I will work with you to help you gain insight into yourself and others, and live as satisfying and productive a life as possible--I know it's not easy.

FAQ - About Geriatric Therapy
What can a geriatric psychologist help with?
Geriatric therapists specialize in the cognitive and neurological challenges that often accompany aging, including dementia, memory loss, and age-related cognitive decline. They also address the psychological conditions that frequently co-occur with these issues, such as depression, anxiety, and grief. Geriatric therapists and psychologists are trained to assess cognitive functioning, identify symptoms that may warrant further evaluation, and conduct or refer for formal neurological assessment when needed. In many cases, geriatric therapists also work closely with medical doctors to manage a client's overall health, and they may support caregivers and family members navigating the demands of caring for an aging loved one.
Why might someone seek a geriatric psychologist?
Someone might seek a geriatric therapist when they or a loved one begins experiencing cognitive or neurological changes and is unsure whether those changes are a normal part of aging or something that requires clinical attention. A geriatric therapist can help connect families with appropriate next steps. They are also commonly sought following a new diagnosis, when clients and families are working to understand what that diagnosis means practically and emotionally, and what to expect as a condition progresses. When seeking a therapist, it can be helpful to consider whether a clinician with a stronger psychotherapy focus or one with more of a social work orientation, who can help connect clients with assisted living or medical resources, would be the better fit.
What type of therapy might a geriatric therapists specialize in?
Geriatric therapist often combine psychotherapy with psychoeducation, helping clients and their families understand cognitive and neurological conditions and what to expect as they progress. For clients experiencing anxiety or depression alongside cognitive decline, therapists may draw on Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) or mindfulness-based approaches. For clients with dementia specifically, therapists may be trained in specialized modalities such as Cognitive Stimulation Therapy (CST), which is designed to preserve cognitive functioning.
Can geriatric psychologists help people who suffer from dementia?
Yes, and this is a core area of geriatric psychology. Therapists specializing in dementia can work directly with clients on memory loss and cognitive functioning, while also addressing conditions that commonly co-occur, such as depression and anxiety. They can provide caregivers with objective assessments of a client's functioning and disease progression, and are typically well-versed in community resources available to dementia patients and their families.
