I am bicultural and enjoy working with clients from all cultural backgrounds. I especially enjoy working with younger adults (20s-30s) and those who are new to therapy. I have extensive experience working with young professionals. I can help you if you are struggling. Some of the issues I can help with are depression, anxiety, relationship problems, and grief (specialized training and experience in grief counseling). I can provide a safe, nonjudgmental setting for you to discover and change unconscious thoughts, beliefs, and behaviors may be interfering with your goals, relationships, and personal growth. I also offer the practical and emotional support needed during challenging life-stage transitions. Therapy is also a place to explore thoughts and feelings you might not feel free to share with friends and relatives, for whatever reason. I provide a safe, supportive, therapeutic relationship as a context in which to work through a variety of concerns, including: Family-of-origin issues, effects of childhood trauma and neglect Depression Anxiety, worry, panic, emotional overwhelm, stress management Relationship problems Communication problems Grief & loss (recent or delayed)* Life transitions/adjusting to change Bicultural difficulties Academic concerns, career choice Changing self-defeating thoughts and behaviors Self-esteem Trust issues Values clarification, life purpose/meaning *Certificate of Completion, Professional Program in the Study of Loss & Grief, University of California, Berkeley, 2004.
