Living Loved Pathways to Holistic Healing will provide you with tools to live your life in a healthy full and fulfilled manner which allows you to be your best self. I believe in treating the whole person as we are a reflection our wellness internally as it will manifest externally...in how we show up in the world. Often the daily stress of living life can take a toll on us and we find ourselves operating from a stress perspective clouding our vision to who we are.

I am a licensed Marriage and Family Therapist, and certified premarital counselor, specializing in individual, couples and parenting issues. My practice serves a wide range of clients with varying needs, including but not limited to: relationships, cross-cultural/interfaith conflicts, anxiety, career anxiety, life transitions, and LGBTQ issues. I hold a Master of Arts in Clinical Psychology with marriage and family emphasis, from Chicago School of Professional Psychology, and a Bachelor of Electronic Engineering from Northrop University.

I blend traditional therapy with hypnotherapy as I have found it to be the upmost effective in working on a multitude of issues from anxiety, depression, trauma to unwanted behavioral habits such as smoking and overeating. I believe that therapy should be solution focused and should be effective from a financial and time standpoint.
