I work primarily with couples and adult individuals to address communication issues, sexual concerns, and heal from betrayal and infidelity. As an immigrant with experience in multicultural settings, I understand the importance of diverse perspectives in the therapy setting. I will work with you to develop an effective treatment plan integrating techniques from Gottman, CBT, Imago Therapy, EFT, and DBT among other frameworks. Together, we can make your relationship safe and fulfilling again.
My work with individuals and couples centers around navigating significant life changes, managing anxiety, depression and ADHD symptoms, and healing from loss and abandonment. I also work with those impacted by substance abuse/addiction or those wishing to re-evaluate their relationship with drugs and alcohol.
I see couples at any stage of the relationship (dating, pre-marital, married, contemplating divorce/separation) and I'm passionate about helping partners rebuild intimacy and trust after infidelity. If my profile resonates with you and you wish to speak with me directly, please don't hesitate to reach out. I look forward to connecting with you!

In my work with individuals and couples alike, our first four sessions will focus on goal setting and information gathering. You can expect to discuss your family of origin with me through the Genogram intervention, which gives perspective on family relationship patterns between and within generations. By the fourth session, we will likely work on skill building.

I draw from a variety of models most notably Cognitive Behavior Therapy, and am passionate about using Emotionally Focused Couple's Therapy in my work. I also use the Gottman approach from The Gottman Institute, which you can learn more about with a simple google search. Finally, as a systemic therapist it is important to explore family of origin using the Genogram through Bowenian Family Model.
