I am a Licensed Marriage and Family Therapist and also a first-generation immigrant and mother. My life experiences in decades-long work with multinationals, living in different countries, and raising my children in different cultures, have broadened and elevated my compassion and empathy for the uniqueness of each individual's suffering and pain. I know how overwhelming and uncomfortable life transitions can be, so I provide a safe and nurturing space to process issues and life changes with the goal of attaining joy and contentment.

What can clients expect to take away from sessions with you?

My first session with a client is always a casual and non-threatening chat when the client gives me as much, or as little, information as if comfortable. I always meet the client where the client is.

Explain to clients what areas you feel are your biggest strengths.

I tailor my sessions based on the individual's pace, timeline, and current ability and motivation to process issues - I always meet the individual where they are at. I also have lived experience in many aspects of life, including immigrating and raising children in different countries.

Describe the client(s) you are best positioned to serve.

Whether it is a teen struggling with anxiety and depression, a family in the midst of intense conflict, a mid-life crisis, career retirement, or empty nesting, we can find your life purpose at any age. I have lived experience in the challenges of immigrating and have a unique competency for immigration-specific issues like acculturation and generational and cultural gaps. We can work towards minimizing family conflict and learn healthy communication skills.
