I am a unique "left & right" brain therapist with multiple clinical licenses and specialties that allows me to provide effective, high impact, and outcome focused services to my clients. As a licensed marriage and family therapist (LMFT), I offer counseling to individuals, couples, and families. As a licensed professional counselor (LPCC), I can offer additional service scope extending to career counseling. As a licensed advance alcohol and drug counselor (LAADC) & master addiction counselor (MAC), I have deep understanding of how various forms of addictions and trauma (including screen addictions) affects individuals & relationships. Besides being a therapist, I have backgrounds in engineering, organizational leadership, higher education, and business development in Silicon Valley. I enjoy connecting with my clients at where they are at, establishing a safe and strength-based experience as we explore issues set goals, and move forward. I also enjoy helping young adults, adults, and couples to navigate through tough seasons of feeling overwhelming, experiencing loss in transitions, and dealing with painful and complex circumstances. My brief strategy approaches and tech background also fits well with those who are in high stress careers and in leadership roles.
