Lastly, working with biracial or multicultural individuals or interracial couples that are struggling with various aspects of their selves or relationship such as family issues and/or interpersonal difference is a passion of mine.

If you are seeking a caring, warm, empathic and genuine practitioner, then we would be a good fit. We will work collaboratively to solve problems, increase your self-confidence and create healing so you can live a mentally healthy life.

An experienced clinician can target various symptoms, experiences, and personalities to help you feel your best and put you on the path to healing.

Over 41 million adults in the US attend therapy services each year, showing it's a popular option and is proven to be effective.
