About Your Therapist

I am a licensed marriage and family therapist. I hold a masters in science in psychology with the specialty of marriage, individual, and family therapy. My mission is providing the best therapeutic experience to each individual, couple, and family that is catered to their needs. I believe in utilizing integrative models of therapy as doing so will create a customized treatment plan for each client. I believe therapy is part of the human experience and no matter the language or culture, the mind and heart always need care and understanding. Coming from a bicultural background (American-born with Mexican ethnicity) and also having lived abroad in Japan, I feel that I am able to understand some of the common challenges that come with assimilation and acculturation from both domestic and foreign perspectives. Fun fact, my last name is Xu because my husband is Chinese-Canadian-American.
