I’m a Licensed Marriage and Family Therapist with over a decade of experience working with adults navigating life transitions, anxiety, depression, and stress.

I specialize in helping people who feel stuck at a crossroads—whether due to career changes, relationship shifts, or unexpected challenges. Many of my clients come to therapy looking for clarity, better coping skills, and a way to move forward with confidence.

My approach is direct, collaborative, and grounded in evidence-based practices, including Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), Solution-Focused Therapy, and strengths-based approaches. We focus on understanding patterns, building insight, and developing practical tools that create real change.

I primarily work with adults, with a focus on those navigating major life transitions and redefining what’s next.

Therapy doesn’t have to last forever. It’s a space to gain clarity, make intentional changes, and move forward at your own pace.

Becoming a mother changes everything — your body, your identity, your relationships, your sense of self. But even before motherhood, life has a way of piling on. Maybe you’re a college student juggling everything at once, a working woman with too many open tabs and not enough hours, or a mom running on empty wondering when it became this hard. Whether you’re navigating postpartum anxiety, pregnancy loss, burnout, life transitions, or just that feeling that you’ve lost yourself somewhere along the way — you deserve more than just getting through the day. This space is for you!

I am a bicultural, 55-year-old and very proud father of two adolescents. In this growing age of isolation and need for sincere, genuine human connection, it has never been more important to regain our sense of control and serenity. The foundation of our work together is based on restoring this basic human need. I believe the answers lie in the path itself, not just in reaching the destination. Together, we will learn to welcome challenges as opportunities.

I specialize in helping children, families, and adults navigate anxiety, depression, grief, family stress, and men's mental health. I work with clients from infants and toddlers through adults, which means I can support the whole family, not just one person. I don't believe in one-size-fits-all therapy, and I won't treat you like a checklist. The work I do is practical, collaborative, and focused on helping you direct your life, not just understand it.

Since embarking on my career as a therapist, I have completed over 12,000 therapy sessions, working with individuals and couples from various cultures and unique challenges. I have been blessed to be in an endeavor that I don't consider to be work.

Feeling overwhelmed, misunderstood, or stuck in patterns that no longer serve you? You're not alone—and you don’t have to navigate it on your own.

I offer a compassionate, steady space where real healing can begin. Using a blend of Eye Movement, Desensitization Reprocessing (EMDR) and Relational Life Therapy (RLT), we’ll uncover and gently process the life experiences and patterns that may be holding you back—so you can reconnect with your inner strength, clarity, and sense of self.

You deserve to feel supported, understood, and empowered in your healing. I’m here to walk alongside you every step of the way.

Appointments are available on Telehealth. For scheduling inquiries please text me directly at 310-746-7223.
