With over 20 years of experience, I am a board-certified counselor/therapist (NBCC/National Board for Certified Counselors) dedicated to helping individuals navigate life’s challenges. My experience spans a variety of settings, where I’ve worked with children, adolescents, and adults from diverse cultural, ethnic, and socioeconomic backgrounds. These settings include non-profit agencies, a school, a college, and private practice. I have helped clients with trauma, anxiety, phobia, grief, depression, substance abuse, domestic violence, cultural adjustment, relationship issues, and more. I am committed to understanding the unique needs of each person and fostering a compassionate, supportive space for growth.

While my early training focused on traditional talk therapies, my growing interest in mindfulness and Buddhist philosophy led me to explore somatic modalities like Hakomi Mindful Somatic Psychotherapy, Somatic Experiencing, Brainspotting, and Somatic EMDR. These approaches reflect both my professional background and personal healing journey.
