As a military retiree, I am familiar with the military life experience. You can feel safe and supported in the therapeutic space. You can take the first step towards hope and healing whether you are experiencing symptoms of trauma from PTSD, sexual abuse, anxiety, depression, or grief. You might also be struggling as you transition from military to civilian life. This can be a time of confusion for you and your family. You don't have to make this journey by yourself.

I enjoy helping couples. My approach to couples therapy is from the developmental model of couples therapy from the Couples Institute. I am currently participating in their one-year training. I believe that when couples try to resolve their challenges, it’s more than learning communication skills. It’s learning to understand themselves and their needs; as well as learning how to understand and work together as a couple, whether their goal is to stay together or grow apart amicably.

As an immigrant, I can relate to your experience. I have worked with immigrants and their families through all of my training. I look forward to hearing your immigration and acculturation story. I continue to stay on top of immigrant and racial issues in our country so that I can help individuals from various races and religions as they navigate through their racial identity, immigration story, and the challenges that they face.

You will be provided a safe space during therapy, so that you can better understand yourself, improve your ability to make choices, and feel whole again.

As a military veteran, I am familiar with the military life experience. Maybe you are struggling from symptoms of trauma, sexual abuse, anxiety, depression, or grief.

When we hear the word grief, we think of someone dying. Grief can be someone we love dying. It can also be a loss of a pregnancy, pet, job, youth, limb, or something important to us. You might be feeling lost, confused, sad, depressed, anxious, mad, or all of the above. All these feelings are normal and you don’t have to be alone. You also don't need a timeline to be over your grief. It would be an honor to walk with you as you unravel your emotions during your journey through grief.
