I am a Licensed Marriage and Family Therapist with over 15 years of experience working with children, adolescents, and adults. I specialize in anxiety, depression, and the unique emotional challenges that come with navigating cultural identity and family dynamics. I work with children as young as 6, teens, and adults up to age 65.
I draw primarily from Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) and Family Systems Theory, blending structure with warmth to meet each client where they are. For my younger clients, I often incorporate play-based and art-based techniques to make therapy feel safe and natural. I don't believe in a one-size-fits-all approach — healing looks different for everyone, and I'll adapt my methods to fit your life, your values, and your goals. I also bring a culturally sensitive lens to every session, recognizing that our backgrounds shape how we experience — and express — our emotions.
Your first session is about getting to know each other. I'll ask questions, but I'll also make space for you to ask me yours — I believe transparency builds trust. For children, I often include a brief parent check-in before meeting with the child one-on-one. There's no pressure to share everything at once. My goal is simply that you leave feeling seen, comfortable, and with a clear sense of what working together could look like.
