Great to meet you!

I taught psychology, worked in hospitals and in private practice setting as a licensed psychologist since 2002. I'm experienced working with college students, adults and seniors coming from diverse cultural background. I focus on depression, anxiety, grief/losses, and other challenging life issues.

My approach to therapy

Taking an eclectic approach, using tools from CBT, psychodynamic and other different orientations, I work with my client collaboratively to create a warm, safe environment. In which one can explore his/her feelings and thoughts, finding words to express them. It can be challenging, but I am here to help as you go through the process.

What you can expect from me

Together, we create a trusting, safe space for you to speak your mind, be heard, be hopeful. We should be able 1)to understand what you need help with; 2)determine if we are compatible; and 3)set goals together.
