As a licensed clinical psychologist specializing in elderly disorders, I provide compassionate and effective treatment to support individuals navigating the challenges of aging. My approach, grounded in evidence-based therapies, is customized to address the unique needs of each person. The transition to older age can be difficult, involving adjustments such as retirement, the loss of friends and spouses, chronic illness, and more. My goal is to help individuals manage these changes and improve their quality of life during this significant life stage.

Chandler is one of Phoenix's most economically dynamic suburbs — home to Intel's major chip manufacturing campus and a growing semiconductor and technology sector — creating demand for therapists experienced with high-performance careers, workplace stress, and the psychological pressures of the tech industry. The city has a significant South Asian and East Asian professional population alongside a large and long-established Hispanic community, generating broad demand for culturally affirming therapy across very different backgrounds. Chandler Regional Medical Center provides institutional mental health resources, with a private therapy community serving the DC Ranch corridor and the Price Freeway tech corridor. Chandler's suburban character and intense summer heat contribute to social isolation concerns that therapists frequently address.
