When our life and relationships are good, everything is good. But when our relationships are facing challenges or when there are stressors in our lives, our whole world feels inside out. My therapeutic focus is to have my clients navigate through difficult times and emotions in order to better express themselves, communicate more effectively with loved ones, and improve self-understanding using a Cognitive Behavioral approach. Everyone has a valued voice and I believe fostering a sense of belonging and self-understanding is key to strong, healthy relationships.

We all experience challenges in life that are difficult to cope with and hard to overcome. Issues can range from difficulty adjusting to recent changes to more deeply rooted, long standing trauma. Substance abuse, dysfunctional relationships, grief and loss and feelings of emotional insecurity and instability are frequently life limiting issues that can be changed. When we decide to make a change, professional help is advantageous because an outside perspective can be enlightening and it's hard to change ourselves. Humans just want to be comfortable in our own skin.

I offer compassionate, individualized care for those navigating emotional or behavioral challenges. My trauma-informed, culturally responsive approach blends evidence-based practices with deep empathy and lived experience. Originally from outside the U.S., my own healing journey led me to become a therapist in 2012 while living in Okinawa, Japan. Now based in Virginia and pursuing a PhD in developmental psychology, I strive to create a safe, welcoming space where clients can kick their feet up on the couch—relax, cry, vent, or simply sit quietly—and, when ready, begin the work of healing at their own pace.
