ABOUT ME

Cross-cultural counseling and research is my life's work. As a family-therapist/educator in the field of multicultural counseling I have the ability to see each client's cultural-context in various stages of life-cycle. My research on cross-cultural couple's adjustment and acculturation has been published in professional psychology journals and presented at international conferences. My approach is strength-based and collaborative, utilizing evidence-based practice and research. Aside from my private practice I serve as a cross-cultural consultant for medical professionals and agencies. I have been teaching and presenting on cross-cultural issues in the last 15 years.

I am specialized in working with cultural diversity issues, cross- cultural couples & families and relational difficulties stemming from cultural differences. Clients with "Bicultural" , "multicultural", "bi-racial", "multiracial" identities and the GLBT often seek professionals with expertise in understanding their reality & experiences. I am honored to provide services to diverse clients who identify as such.
