Great to meet you!

I am a Licensed Clinical Social Worker and hold the "R” privilege, which is the highest level of licensure for an LCSW. I am also a board-certified music therapist.

I work with both individuals and couples; specializing in helping people with Anxiety, Depression, and ADHD. I have extensive experience empowering parents who have children with special needs. I am also passionate about working with cross-cultural issues, inter-faith marriage, and prenatal/postpartum issues.

A bit about my approach to therapy

My approach in therapy is to create a safe environment so that you can feel comfortable sharing your stories and experiences.

What you can expect from our first session

Life can be stressful, with many ups and downs and at times tends to be unpredictable and overwhelming. Together, we will find positivity in your life and develop coping strategies to better manage your stressors.
