You may feel stuck and ready for a change. You may have used your intelligence, motivation or creativity to succeed in the past, but something isn't working as well right now. You may feel disconnected in your relationships and overwhelmed by your emotions. Maybe you're very hard on yourself or have difficulty making decisions. I can help you learn to trust yourself, increase self-compassion, and improve your relationships. Therapy is a process of getting to know yourself and your strengths. Together, we can help you decide what you really want and develop steps to meet your goals.

Work problems are life problems. Therapy can help. You know how it is - when you’re at work - whether in the corner suite, working from home or as a digital nomad - and something goes wrong, the fallout can cascade through the rest of your life: your relationships, your habits, how you feel about everything every day. I'm here to help. We may be a good fit if you want to be more confident, comfortable and satisfied with work, crave greater work/life balance and are interested in making change that sticks.

Are you engaging in life the way you had hoped? Do you desire more from your relationships? Are attempts at communicating what you need ineffective? Do you find yourself in constant overwhelm, fighting with your partner, or feeling alone and confused? Whether it's every day stress, a traumatic experience, or feeling disconnected; I'm here to tell you there's hope. In therapy I aim to address the underlying issues related to current life difficulties, rather than just treating the symptoms.

The world is becoming more complex as we are expected to do more with less time and energy. What if you were already coping with difficulties from a not so distant past? With my own history of self worth/doubt, health issues and being told "I don't belong here", I can vividly remember the frustration and loneliness of trying to "live your life" while feeling left behind. I draw from this to empathize and build a mutual understanding of "now" and create a path to a more authentic version of "you." We often look to the past to find origins of problems, but its equally important to dig through our history to find gems of resilience.

I look forward to working with folks who want change, but might not know where to start. Sometimes we want to change ourselves, our situations, or just how we feel. Helping people figure out what they want, what they value, and how to pursue that is what I enjoy. Change is hard, and it helps a lot to have an impartial guide, teacher and confidant who can provide encouragement, perspective, insight, validation and feedback.

I aim at supporting individuals and couples who want to learn about themselves, build healthier relationships, be more emotionally present, and cope more successfully. I believe that through self- exploration and learning about our relationships, we promote growth, peace, and healing in our lives, thus building more fulfilling connections with others. I aim to help you find ways to improve your life and your relationships. If you are dealing with issues related to family conflict, relationships, GLBTQ issues, spirituality, or anxiety; I believe I would be a good fit for you.

The journey toward healing and overall mental health can be difficult, and often, the most challenging part is knowing where to begin. You may feel stuck or even overwhelmed. My role is to eliminate that complexity, so you can concentrate on the path to recovery, and ultimately free yourself to focus on what matters to you most – your family, your career, your relationships. With specializations in research-based modalities - including EMDR, I empower my clients with the knowledge and understanding to face their challenges, stressors, or symptoms head-on. And in that process, free yourself from the mental barriers and fog weighing you down.

We all do the best we can to cope, but sometimes our efforts throw us out of balance. I work with individuals who are feeling the impacts of these imbalances viscerally, either people who are analytically minded who feel emotions are a hinderance or people who are highly sensitive whose feelings can act like an overwhelming tidal wave. Our imbalances can manifest in depression, anxiety, overwhelming stress, or a dissatisfaction with relationships. In our work together you can expect for us to create treatment goals guided by your core values that move you towards clarity and growth.

As Rumi, the ancient Sufi mystic said, "Only from the heart can you touch the sky." Hello and welcome! I am so glad you have made the choice to explore the options of what it takes to live a life of freedom for yourself! Embarking on the journey towards healing takes courage! I congratulate you! The healing has already begun!

Sometimes our lives get the better of us and before we know it, we find ourselves longing to be heard, understood, and valued. The things you are going through matter. You matter. One of my favorite parts about being a counselor is that through providing a safe place for you to process your life, you can foster honesty and openness with yourself in new ways. I hope to be a relationship for you that allows you to feel accepted and cared for as you are, while encouraging you to gain the confidence to be the person you want to become.

My approach focuses on working in collaboration with my clients to achieve their personal goals. I believe my clients hold all the answers within themselves and therapy serves as a navigation system to find them. Treatment is structured as an ever-evolving process of understanding issues and concerns through a systemic lens and builds from a racial and social equity perspective. My aim is centered on forming a strong therapeutic alliance to encourage and affirm self-determination, emotional expression, and action-oriented growth. I work with children, families, couples, and adults.

***Now accepting new patients for teletherapy.*** I have over 20 years experience in social services, case management and crisis intervention. I have been licensed as a profession counselor for over 10 years. I specialize in helping patients with depression, anxiety, stress and chronic pain.

One of the deepest forms of suffering we create for ourselves is believing, “Something is wrong with me.” Chronic self-judgment, depression, anxiety, and shame can make it challenging to live with balance and purpose. Suffering is often worsened by isolation and disconnection from our emotional pain. Feelings of inadequacy make it difficult to be at home in our own body, heart, and mind, and keep us from living and loving life fully. Often, the first step toward healing is a trusting, respectful, non-judgmental, and caring therapy relationship.

Is your child intense? Is your child highly emotional, willful, and gifted? Do you need some new ideas to connect with your child? Within each of us lies greatness: within your child, within you as a person, and as a parent. I can help you and your child access that greatness and nurture it. I work well with intense children who are struggling with behavioral and attention issues. I provide a safe and caring environment, often taking the therapy session outdoors for experiential activities.

I am not current accepting new clients, but am happy to help make a warm referral or assist you with finding a good fit with one of my colleagues.

I'm passionate about helping people create and live their best life. I believe everyone can experience their dream life when they have support and a clear direction. I love helping people reconnect, or uncover, their life’s passions through exploring past experiences and identifying what brings them joy and purpose. I started Atomic Souls because I know so many people who believe therapy is boring, too clinical, and quite frankly unhelpful. I hope to challenge that narrative about counselors by bringing creativity, fun, and passion into counseling.

Clients normally describe me as someone that they feel is compassionate and actively interested in their well-being, someone they can trust, non-judgmental, and with whom they feel accepted and comfortable around. Over seventeen years ago I embarked on the path toward helping people heal holistically with mindfulness and presence that can be used for deeper self-understanding, finding answers within, and releasing psychological blockages. Yet I am always on the lookout for where we can facilitate neurological healing of the psyche using the latest neuroscience-based psychological protocols for anxiety, trauma, relationship difficulties, depression, and PTSD.

"Life is hard. After all, it kills you". Feeling depressed or anxious, or simply not like yourself, can be an overwhelming experience. You could be feeling unhappy, unmotivated, lonely, or maybe just "stuck". You might be having ruminating, racing thoughts that make it hard to see things clearly and move forward in life. I am here to help you reconnect to yourself, to your personal goals, values, and motivations: all the things that make you a unique individual (you!). I'm here to support you, explore your thoughts and emotions, sort through the difficulties you are dealing with, and gain insight and tools to navigate your life.

I help adult children of immigrant families fully individuate into becoming the fullest and most authentic version of themselves. I work with bicultural clients who want to break unhealthy generational patterns while also honoring the cultures that shape their identity. With my lived Asian American experience along with my expertise in CBT, I bring relevant knowledge and resources to help you get there. As a social worker, I approach therapy from a social justice perspective and use evidence-based methods for managing anxiety, processing trauma, and coping with life transitions.
