Are you feeling anxious, depressed, or overwhelmed due to health issues, relationship conflicts, a stressful work environment, or ongoing worries about personal, family, environmental, or community issues? It's essential during these times to prioritize self-care, even though our usual coping mechanisms may feel depleted. As your therapist & coach, I am here to help you explore your personal values and goals and find practical solutions to boost your inner resilience, strength, and well-being.
My approach
Let's work together to identify the key components of the work hope to achieve based on your personal values. My interactive and engaging therapeutic style makes it easy for you to participate in the process and create a more fulfilling and resilient life. I utilize Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), Psychodynamic approaches, and Positive Psychology modalities in my practice.

I specialize in working with individuals on issues including ADHD, Aging, Anxiety, Chronic Illness, Codependency, Coping Skills, Depression, Divorce, Family Conflict, Grief, Job Stress, Life Coaching, Life Transitions, Marital/Pre-marital concerns, challenges faced by Older Adults, Self Esteem, Stress, Women's Issues, and Relationship Issues.
My communication style
I communicate in an interactive, engaging manner to put you at ease and encourage your active participation in sessions. My style balances empathy and warmth with gentle directness to help you explore your values, gain insights, and work towards your therapeutic goals. I aim to create a safe space where you feel heard, validated, and supported on your journey.
My journey to mental healthcare
I earned my Master of Science (MS) degree from Dominican University in San Rafael, CA in December 1993. With over 24 years of experience since then, I have been dedicated to helping people achieve their goals and live more fulfilling lives.
My goals for you
