Life can pull us in a hundred different directions, and sometimes it takes slowing down, getting real, and having honest conversations to find our way forward. My approach is straightforward and commpassionate - no judgment, no fluff. I meet you where you are, walk beside you through the challenges, and help you rediscover your strength, clarity, and purpose.

Having over 30 years of experience and a doctorate in social work, I've enjoyed helping clients work through life's hardest passages- grief, identity, relationships, and carrying heavy burdens. I work with adults and seniors, individuals and couple, and bring a warm, direct, solution-oriented style that clients describe as grounding and refreshingly practical. We develop a rhythm quickly and I invest in understanding both where you have been and where you want to go. Homework often helps progress develop quickly.

Therapist

Adults across the lifespan come to my practice navigating anxiety, depression, life transitions, work stress, relationship challenges, and questions of identity or cultural belonging. Many are high-functioning on the outside but feel overwhelmed, disconnected, or uncertain internally. I also specialize in working with immigrants and individuals exploring multicultural identity. Together, we create a space to slow down, make sense of emotional experiences, understand patterns that may be keeping them stuck, and build resilience and clarity for what comes next.

I specialize in anxiety, depression, life transitions, relationship concerns, and cultural identity exploration. My work integrates CBT, mindfulness, person-centered therapy, and family systems theory, grounded in cultural humility. I help clients build insight, coping skills, and meaningful, lasting change.

You don’t have to carry everything alone. Therapy is a space where you can feel seen, understood, and supported without judgment. Together, we can explore what feels heavy, uncover deeper patterns, and move toward greater clarity and ease. If you’re ready for change, I invite you to take that next step toward yourself.
