Great to meet you!

  • Immigration--I have performed 5000 plus clinical studies for immigration clients facing deportation.: VAWA (Violence against Women Studies) U-Visa (Lasting Harm)

601 Waivers (Extreme Hardship) Asylum (fear of Returning) and Cancellation of Removal (extreme and unusual hardship). I have been qualified as an expert Witness in Federal and Superior Court. I have been in Practice for 40 plus years

My approach to therapy

My approach is steady, direct, and grounded in evidence‐based treatment. Clients often tell me they feel understood quickly and appreciate having a therapist who can stay calm, present, and focused even when the work is difficult.

I also work with families facing conflict, communication breakdowns, or the ripple effects of trauma. Together, we build practical skills that reduce reactivity, strengthen connection, and restore a sense of safety.

If you’re ready for therapy that is structured, compassionate, and guided by decades of clinical experience, I’m here to help you take the next step.

What you can expect from me

You don’t have to navigate this alone. With clear direction and decades of clinical experience behind you, we can work together to create meaningful, sustainable progress.I believe in a thorough history taking. Many insights are revealed in that process. You can expect that I will ask you questions based on why you are seeking therapy some of which will look deeply into your beginnings, and others will examine how the past may have shaped the present. Knowledge is indeed power.
