I am a nationally-recognized expert in mindfulness and cognitive-behavioral therapies for stress-related conditions; in recognition of my expertise, I have received more than $20 million in federal grants to develop new, cutting-edge treatments. I have 15 years of clinical experience working with people suffering from stress, anxiety, depression, addictive behaviors, trauma, chronic pain, and mind-body conditions. I firmly believe that people have the power to transcend and transform their challenges into opportunities for growth and well-being. When appropriate, I engage clients on an existential level, assisting them in clarifying the meaning of their lives.

I provide therapy not only because I strive to support others, but because I believe therapy works. I admire the vulnerability and strength that go into the healing process. I know you have within you what it takes to heal, but that doesn't mean you have to do it alone. You deserve to feel safe enough in both your mind and body to fully engage in life. My clients are seeking out therapy for relief from their complex trauma, eating disorders, anxiety, depression, and/or anger. I work with anyone ages 14 and up.

I believe that everything we do in life comes from experiences that’ve shaped us.Depending on the intensity of the event & how our body perceives it, it’ll be logged into our nervous system as a safe or an unsafe experience.Our bodies at the basic level want to feel safe and will create behaviors (healthy/unhealthy) to protect us.For most, when we feel bad later about our behaviors, this means our body perceived the event as a threat.We’ll explore with a curious mindset why this is happening and boundaries that can be put in place.We will evaluate /decipher what coping skills/behaviors are harmful and re-program them in your body.

I love working with individuals who are asking, "What do i want to create in my life? What do I want to move away from?". Life transitions in work, relationships, health, and faith, come to everyone, with accompanying fear, anxiety, depression, PTSD, and uncertainty. I work with a combination of approaches to help people reduce stress and return to a sense of regulation and mastery in their lives. My specialty is Somatic Experiencing as i have found that talk alone is not enough, the body needs to be included in growth and healing.

I am currently doing teletherapy sessions. Afternoon and early evening times available. I specialize in relationship issues and relational trauma, working with adults who have histories of abuse, neglect, abandonment, betrayal, and loss. When these experiences haven't been resolved, they can manifest in a range of ways--as symptoms (anxiety, depression, anger, stress); or as compulsive behaviors (substance abuse, self-injury, sexuality that feels out of control, disordered eating, internet use).

Do you miss feeling like yourself? Are you overwhelmed and fatigued by feelings of anxiety and depression? Do you feel like you're falling short in your relationships, the workplace, or as a parent? I specialize in supporting individuals find their way back to themselves when anxiety, depression, or any of life's many challenges have taken over. I enjoy supporting individuals in slowing down, tuning in and discovering their innate worthiness, strengths, and abilities to create sustainable peace and wellness.

My identity as a person and clinician developed during my time at Randolph-Macon Woman's College where I lived among confident and intelligent women from all over the world. I learned the value of asking questions and began to understand the value of ambiguity in one's search for clarity. I believe there is goodness within us and that we deserve a chance to be our genuine selves in the presence of others. I aim to provide a safe space for self-expression and discovery. Clients are offered a confidential, non-judgmental environment where they are heard and understood.

"And the day came when the risk to remain tight in a bud was more painful than the risk it took to blossom." Anais Nin If you are looking to create change in you, your life... I would be honored to help you. I believe you can grow into whatever you are seeking. Life offers us many ways to evolve and often we need a compassionate, humorous, kind, and challenging comrade to walk the path with us. Change stretches us, pushes us outside of our comfort zone, rocks our world....and blossoms us into new life.

Most of my experience is in women's issues and perinatal mental health. I also specialize in working with adults and adolescents suffering from substance abuse, depression, anxiety and relationship concerns. I use a client centered approach. I believe in empowering clients with tools to better manage mental health and stressful life situations.

I'm passionate about building a relationship with you that helps increase insight into these internal conflicts, gaining a sense of peace and more ease in being yourself. I am committed to working as deeply as necessary with you to help you feel mastery in regulating your emotions.

“I am not what happened to me, I am what I choose to become.” – Carl Jung. A little bit about me as a professional; my outlook was influenced at a young age by an amazing social worker who helped me when I needed help the most. Now I want to help people in the same way. Since being involved with the social work field I have found my passion for mental health and the healing process.

Accepting new clients! We are all wired to love, to be loved, and to belong. When those needs are not met, we don't function as we were meant to. We break. We fall apart. We numb. We ache. We hurt others. We get sick (Brene Brown). Has constant worry, sadness, or relationship hardship gotten in the way of you living an authentic and fulfilling life? At times, life can become overwhelming and you may feel stuck or disconnected from yourself or the people you love. Life doesn't have to stay that way. There is hope!

As a first-generation Asian immigrant to the U.S., I understand the difficulty of blending cultures. It is important to me to help individuals feel heard and give them a sense of belonging. I want my clients to be able to tell their story without being judged. In our sessions, when we meet, you will gain a new perspective of yourself and find the confidence to take on any challenges in your life. I want you to be able to view your experiences through a different lens.
