Welcome to My Website. I am a WA licensed clinical psychologist with many years of experience offering counseling and psychotherapy. I work with individuals and couples who need help making changes, gaining new skills, finding solutions, or seeking personal growth. I am skilled in treating a wide range of issues including anxiety and post traumatic stress, depression, relationship difficulties, coping with physical illnesses, and cultural adjustment.
As you are in the process of looking for a therapist, you may already be half-way through resolving your issues. Research shows that client’s readiness and willingness to make changes is the strongest indicator of successful therapy outcome. As a therapist, I will accompany you in the journey of ‘becoming’ who you really are by assisting you to develop internal and external resources such as the sense of freedom, ability to make choices, interpersonal skills, and strong support systems. Sometimes I may encourage you to tolerate the distress instead of hastily getting rid of it, since just like the physical pain, the emotional pain can be a warning sign to notify you that something needs to be taken care of. The time of despair could be a significant growing opportunity.
