Nice to Meet You

Therapy can help you remove unwanted behaviors and restore joy and fulfillment to your life. If you struggle with anxiety, depression, low self-esteem, relationship issues, or impact from trauma, I provide a non-judgmental, active, caring environment to enable you to make positive changes. My therapeutic approach is supported by the most recent research. I integrate cognitive behavioral, mindfulness-based, and multicultural theoretical perspectives in my work.

As you tell your story, I will help you identify your inner strengths and develop lasting and more effective coping skills that will re-energize your relationships and life. I have learned from my experiences how to help you improve your life by bringing insight from life experiences and psychological training.

I am Eye Movement Desensitization & Reprocessing (EMDR) trained, and my professional interests include trauma, depression and anxiety, relationship problems, and grief. I am also certified to provide Immigration Psychological Evaluations. I am also a certified Hypnotherapist.

Your registration is complete and your appointment is scheduled.
Please check your email and review the details below.

Missed and Late Cancel Office Policy: Our office requires two full business days’ notice (48 hours) to cancel or reschedule your appointment or your credit card will be charged a late cancellation fee. Saturdays, Sundays, and Legal Holidays are not counted as business days (i.e., if you have an appointment on Monday at 11:00 am, and you wish to change it without penalty, you would need to call our office on the preceding Thursday morning before 11:00 a.m. to avoid the late cancellation fee). The late cancellation fee is $150 for a session with a psychiatrist, or $100 for a session with a psychologist or master’s level therapist. If you are not present at the start time of your scheduled appointment, it may be marked as missed by your provider. Unfortunately, we cannot bill your insurance for late cancellations, missed sessions, and appointments with too little time. We apologize that there are no exceptions to the late cancellation policy.
