Therapy is my passion and showing up for each one of my clients is a unique privilege that I do not take for granted. Over the years, each individual and couple I have worked with has shaped and reaffirmed my hope in the significant healing and change that can happen in the context of therapy.

WHY WORK WITH ME?

I am compassionate and deeply care for each of my clients. I am present and truly listen. I do not dismiss emotions. I offer support and utilize my experience to empower and equip.

Background

I work hard to take into consideration the cultural contexts of each individual, couple, and family I work with. As a first generation immigrant, I have an understanding of the barriers that are faced with the acculturation process as well as how much culture can play a role in who we are. I speak Armenian fluently and am also conversational in Spanish.
