I work with those who see therapy as a space for introspection, care, and compassion. Beginning therapy can be a meaningful step toward reconnecting with yourself, making sense of your experiences, and creating lasting change. Many people come in feeling overwhelmed, stuck, or unsure of how to move forward. I offer a supportive, culturally responsive space—especially for LGBTQ+ and Spanish-speaking clients—where we can explore these patterns together and build clarity, confidence, and a stronger sense of self.

Life transitions can feel overwhelming—but they can also be powerful turning points. I work with individuals and couples navigating anxiety, the impact of trauma, relationship or parenting challenges, creative blocks, and major life changes. Patterns that keep you stuck can be explored, more supportive ways of coping developed, and meaningful change becomes possible. My background in the arts, philosophy, and meditation deeply informs my approach. I also offer dedicated perinatal support—through pregnancy, postpartum, and the identity shift known as matrescence—the profound becoming that unfolds when someone steps into parenthood.

Love requires care. Maybe you need help having hard or awkward conversations about sex, equitable partnerships, money or deepening connection and intimacy? Perhaps you are struggling to move past infidelity, resolve past resentments, or dissolve your marriage? My therapeutic approach is rooted in your personal growth, allowing the authentic self to safely emerge in connection with others. You can grow into a less reactive, defensive, or avoidant person. Relationship therapy can help you feel seen, let go of expectations, repair past hurt, enjoy more satisfying sex, and find real partnership.

I work with couples and families specializing in serving Asian/BIPOC, LGBTQ+, immigrant, and neurodivergent communities. Meaningful relationships are integral to a fulfilling life, yet often our models for healthy relationships are limited. I support loved ones in finding new ways of moving through conflict, leading to deeper understanding and intimacy. We will identify and bring curiosity to underlying patterns and communication styles. Change isn't easy—it takes practice and patience. We will try on a new way of being with each other, honoring and holding space for all of our complexities.

I work with individuals and couples navigating eating disorders, anxiety, depression, trauma, and relationship challenges. If you’re experiencing overwhelm, intrusive thoughts, low mood, body image distress, or feeling stuck in unhealthy patterns with food or others, you’re not alone. Together, we use practical tools such as grounding exercises, mindful awareness, emotion regulation skills, and gentle behavior shifts to help you regain stability and clarity. My trauma-informed, relational approach offers a safe, supportive space to understand and transform patterns rooted in past experiences.

It can be difficult to find a dedicated space in which you can safely process your experiences. I would consider it a privilege to try and build that trust with you. As a therapist, it is my responsibility to ground myself in curiosity and humility as I bear witness to your life's navigations. Whether that be pleasure, anxiety, identity, interpersonal dynamics, chronic stress, life transitions, personal or sociopolitical heartbreaks- we can explore your experience together. Through connection and collaboration, we can rewrite and expand the stories we tell ourselves and those told to us, allowing for more room to breathe.

I'm curious about people: how our unique histories have shaped us, how we relate to each other & what motivates our behavior in relationships. I specialize in processing relationships with couples & individuals struggling with codependency, communication, anxiety, trauma, self-esteem & identity. We often get stuck in repetitive behavioral/thinking patterns that block us from living the lives we yearn for. We may feel misunderstood or disconnected in our relationships. We may avoid intimacy because we don’t want to get hurt again. We may have a harsh inner critic & lack self-love. Do you experience this in your life?

I am not a typical therapist. I see myself as a co-author, witness, helpful ally, collaborator and useful resource. Rather than taking a role as an “expert” by making assumptions or interpretations about your life, I love to use skillful conversation and artful question-asking to help you get past obstacles. You are on this page because you have strength in you, you have desire in you and you have healing in you. You are the main character in your own life. Therapy can either help or hinder the development of this character as someone powerful, capable and whole.

I’m interested in how the experiences we’re living through influence how we see ourselves, our relationships, and what we think is possible. I believe everyone deserves honest conversation that moves at a pace that feels safe and respectful, without pressure to perform.

My aim is for you to feel a shift is underway from our very first session. Unlike traditional talk therapy which relies on historical narrative, we will work with what is going on for you today, moment to moment, with care and precision.
In my 10 years of private practice, I have seen incredible transformations working with individuals, couples, and families who have spent years -often decades- struggling to adapt to environments that do not serve them. Together we can build a more integrated sense of self and a greater capacity to live the full life you deserve.
If insight hasn't been enough, there's another way.

Many people come to therapy when life feels overwhelming—when anxiety, sadness, or old wounds begin to weigh heavily on their sense of self. Individuals may feel stuck in patterns that no longer serve them, unsure how to move forward or reconnect with their inner strength. Couples often arrive feeling distant, caught in conflict, or longing for the closeness they once shared but don’t know how to rebuild. In both cases, there is a deep desire to feel understood, supported, and equipped with new ways of relating. Therapy becomes a safe space to rediscover resilience, nurture connection, and create meaningful change.

Having trouble falling asleep, staying asleep, or waking up too early can be exhausting both physically and emotionally. I was trained and certified at Stanford University in Cognitive Behavioral Therapy for Insomnia (CBT-I), a structured, short-term, first-line treatment that can greatly improve sleep and alleviate insomnia without medication. In addition to insomnia, other challenges I've helped clients overcome include anxiety, relationship issues, depression, feeling stuck in a rut, and work-related stress. Exploring these issues with a warm, welcoming, and non-judgmental therapist can really help.
