Great to meet you!

I have been a clinical therapist for over 25 years. With a masters in Social Work, my career path has taken me down many different paths and into various communities. With my experience of being a therapist, I have addressed different backgrounds, ethnicities, cross-cultural and racial issues. Being bi-cultural, I’m very tuned in to the struggles of two cultures. When processing cultural backgrounds, individuals and families can experience trauma from the immigration process or being a refugee from a war-torn country. Many can struggle with finding their identity between American and their cultural background. The goal is to love yourself, your differences, and feel positive about your uniqueness as you travel down your life path.

My approach to therapy

My approach is to take the time to establish a warm, caring relationship with my clients as I listen to their life story. We work together to decide what techniques are appropriate for you in addressing your goals. I’m also a very relaxed, engaging therapist with a sense of humor. In addition to this, I take a holistic approach, taking into consideration food, exercise, and spirituality.

What you can expect from me

The client will have an understanding of the objectives of their therapy goals and be able to utilize these objectives as they continue on their life path.
