Licensed Marriage and Family Therapist #132681

Born from immigrant parents who were separated from their families, I learned the value and power of family early on in childhood. The work in maintaining strong and secure attachments with others is continuous, and I strive to help individuals strengthen their connections with their loved ones while supporting, healing, and fostering healthy relationships with clients.

The cornerstone of my practice has been forged out of my extensive work with children and youth. After working with diverse ethnic populations in various settings ranging in age and need, I have sought to serve and support clients by helping cultivate a culture that embraces their cultural background and upbringing while incorporating areas of change they desire. To do so, I strive to make therapy enjoyable while working alongside client’s in addressing circumstances that may be challenging their deeply rooted values and beliefs.

Therapy can be daunting and at times completely overwhelming. I am committed to creating a safe and positive therapeutic experience while addressing the challenges and complexities that have brought you to therapy. Now, while the work that happens in therapy can be challenging, it does not have to be unpleasant or dreadful. In short… “In every job that must be done, there is an element of fun” – Mary Poppins.
