I am honored to be a part of the journeys of people who want a better life. I have been part of journeys addressing anxiety, depression, grief, psychosis, trauma, relationships, multicultural issues, self-esteem, and much more. It is always a humbling experience to learn about and be trusted with the unique stories of my clients. I am always learning and growing with each person I work with. I really love my work as a therapist and can't imagine giving it up. Other than that, I love food, talking to people, playing games, doing puzzles, and listening to people's unique stories of courage and strength!

Get to know me

In our first session together, here's what you can expect

We will go over the logistics of starting therapy, questions about receiving therapy services, what brought you into therapy and information about yourself, and finally what would you like to get out of therapy.

The treatment methods and tools I utilize

I believe in working with my clients to create an open and safe environment where thoughts, feelings, and experiences can be shared freely. As a marriage and family therapist, I have a flexible and interactive approach to collaborate with you to work towards the self you want to be. We will work together to address your unique needs and circumstances.

The biggest strengths that I bring into our sessions

My biggest strengths are my multicultural background, growing up with multiple languages, and experience working with people of all walks of life. Due to this, a constant part of my work with others is boundaries, understanding yourself and how to express yourself to others. Everyone has the right to feel heard, valued, connected and unique in a safe and confidential space.

The clients I'm best positioned to serve

I only work with individual adults. Generally being able to meet regularly at a set day and time helps keep our sessions predictable, familiar, and easy to schedule around. As such, please be advised that my current work hours are Monday - Thursday 6 am-2 pm Pacific Time. If these days and times do not work for you then it may be better for you meet with another provider.
