About

We all need to feel seen and heard, especially in difficult times. Accompanying my clients in their journey in the midst of life's challenges is an honor. I work from a strength-based position, incorporating family systems orientations to help obtain and use the tools necessary to cultivate change and growth. As a marriage and family therapist I love to see families and individuals thrive and live healthy lives. I am passionate about mental health with an integrative perspective that includes mindfulness and spirituality. I am bilingual/bicultural with over two decades of experience providing support, family education, and counseling in culturally diverse settings with immigrant families, working through the adjustment and stress of displacement. I also provide psychological evaluations for immigration cases (U, T visas, Hardship, asylum, and VAWA). Licenses: MN, SD, and AZ.
