Great to meet you!

I am a Licensed Marriage and Family Therapist. I provide safe, accepting, and mindful environment as well as culturally sensitive services for children, adults, and families who are experiencing difficulties with emotional stress such as anxiety, depression, post-traumatic stress, behavioral issues such as ADHD, defiant, and oppositional behaviors, culture-related stress such as immigration and issues regarding identity including gender variant clients.

A bit about my approach to therapy

My goal is to make sure client feels safe when they come in for therapy. I want to make client feel comfortable and make sure client is feeling heard and respected.

What you can expect from our first session

I strive to help clients move beyond the point that prevent them from living fulfilling lives. In helping clients to realize their life goals, I'll assist them in identifying possible ineffective responses to life stressors and coping patterns in order to replace them with those that lead to a higher quality living.
