About My Clients
I am a Licensed Marriage & Family Therapist with experience across hospitals, nonprofits, and international practice. I help individuals and couples improve intimacy, navigate cross-cultural adjustment, and strengthen mixed marriages. My background also includes training and credentialing in substance use counseling, which allows me to support clients with recovery and co-occurring concerns without making this the sole focus. Therapy with me is a safe, supportive space for building self-understa
My Background and Approach
My background in psychoanalytic studies shaped how I see clients as whole people, with past experiences and family influences that still affect hopes, needs, and relationships today. In therapy we raise awareness of these patterns and how they show up now, sometimes as stress, disconnection, or frustration, and at times as substance use and co-occurring concerns. Together we stabilize life in the present by working with thoughts, emotions, and behaviors, using tools from CBT, mindfulness, and body awareness. In couples work I use Gottman-informed communication strategies to strengthen understanding and closeness. I am trauma informed and attentive to how people relate to others, including communication, boundaries, and assertiveness. I also support intimacy and sexual concerns, and I am advancing my expertise through sex therapy certification to serve a wider range of needs. As stability grows we clarify the future and build a stronger sense of home within.
