I currently work with individuals (adults and adolescents), couples, and groups. I have worked with culturally diverse clients in private practice, hospitals (inpatient and outpatient clinics), student counseling centers, and cancer support centers. I have extensive training and experience working with cancer patients, their caregiving partners and their families, individuals with various medical diagnoses, and those suffering from chronic pain. I also enjoy helping parents of neuroatypical children navigate the frustrating and often isolating experience of raising a challenging child. In addition, I have a passion for helping creative artists realize their potential, vision and goals and enjoy using music, theatre, film, and popular culture to help patients express aspects of their inner worlds.

I believe all people can benefit from psychotherapy whether they are in crisis or simply feel stuck in some aspect of their lives. My style is collaborative, and I love witnessing patients’ deepening self-awareness and personal growth in an atmosphere of trust, compassion, and support.  I enjoy exploring cultural perspectives, diversity, and spiritual faith to understand each person’s unique worldview and life experience.  My goal is to help individuals find purpose and meaning in their lives and relationships, recognize the patterns in thoughts and behaviors that get in the way, and develop the tools and skills to move toward positive change.
