I believe therapy can have a great impact on one's life. If one is motivated, one can resolve problems, feel better, and address past hardships. I have over thirty years of experience helping my clients achieve their goals in a supportive and safe environment. I am fluent in both English and Spanish. I received my undergraduate degree from Stanford University and my Masters in Social Work from Columbia University. I have resided in both the United States and Latin America. I look forward to working with each and every client, in order that they may reach their happiest self possible.

Feeling overwhelmed, stuck, or like you’re just getting through the day on autopilot? I work with children, teens, and adults who are moving through anxiety, depression, trauma, grief, substance use, and the everyday stress that slowly piles up until something finally gives. Whether you’re in crisis or simply know something needs to change, therapy with me is a place to be honest, feel understood, and start building relief that actually lasts. I offer virtual therapy for clients located anywhere in South Carolina or Virginia, so you can join from home, work, or wherever you feel most comfortable.

Mental health issues may be difficult to discuss with loved ones, especially if there are cultural barriers. As an Asian American, I experienced the phenomenon of feeling like I had two separate identities. I often felt like an outsider as I questioned “who am I?” While there are many cultural barriers we must face with mental health, you don’t have to face them alone! I can help you navigate your experiences with cultural identification, family communication, children’s mental health, (e.g. depression, anxiety, and/or behavioral concern), parenting, and diversity.
