About Me

I come to conducting therapy with sincere empathy for the people and a practice to impart peace upon the people I work with. As a registered Marriage and Family therapist, I hold a Master’s degree in Clinical Psychology from Azusa Pacific University, Southern California. As a therapist who also offers Biblical Counseling, I have my degree in Pastoral Theology from LIFE Theological Seminary (Bachelor’s), and Master of Divinity degree from Fuller Theological Seminary. I also have a certification from the Institute for Biblical Counseling and Discipleship (IBCD).

I have my experience gained from private practice. Furthermore, I trained under a supervisor who has expertise in the use of psychoanalytical approach to therapy, and I have been greatly enamored with this approach, and it has been of great benefit to people I work with. I also have experience in working with people using Biblical Counseling (as requested), Cognitive Behavioral Therapy and Gestalt Therapy. I have experience working with teens (especially troubled teens), young and old adults, couples, intending couples, families, and groups.

If you are struggling with anxiety, depression, grief, troubled life or a tumbling down marriage or relationship or any other psycho-social problems, you are in the right place. By His grace, I am willing, able, and ready to walk the journey with you and bring you needed peace and closure.
