Inexplicable anger, unshakable depression, unrelenting anxiety... This is the fallout of unmet needs like care, attention, respect, and presence happening now and probably had happened for significant lengths of time in our childhoods. As I work with people on these chronic and traumatic experiences, they have shown me how these past traumas can be resolved; that you too can get rid of distorted negative beliefs about yourself; that everyone can improve the quality and selection of their relationships; and when we connect to our bodies and minds with wisdom and tenderness, we become sovereign and healed.

Are you heavy with concerns, worried about your ability to care for loved ones, or finding it difficult to make it through the day? Do you feel so stressed that it is hard to focus and engage? You may find you tend to forget things, have trouble completing tasks. You may have begun to feel lonely, notice distance creeping into your intimate relationships. Up late at night, feeling sad, judged, overwhelmed or stuck, wishing you could just escape. In therapy, you will find a safe place to explore all these worries, feelings, and reactions, and to examine your deepest struggles.

Hi there, I'm Deanna, a Licensed Marriage and Family Therapist. As an Asian American woman of immigrant parents, I am passionate about helping diverse marginalized populations, young adults, and teens because I believe these populations are often unseen and struggling with depression, anxiety, low self-esteem, and life transitions. Asian Americans from immigrant families hit close to home! I specialize in Cognitive Behavioral Therapy. I am solution-focused and may address intergenerational/historical trauma if needed. I also use Dialectical Behavior Therapy techniques.

Over the years, I’ve been trained in a number of therapeutic approaches but whether it’s cognitive-behavioral, interpersonal, communication skills/problem-solving, family systems/work systems, hypnosis or mindfulness, I believe that the most important part of coaching and counseling is making sure that whatever approach is used, it fits the needs of the individual, couple or family. Each person is different; his/her life experiences create a unique story. It’s important for me to understand that story, get to know my clients and, make sure that whatever approach I use; it fits that person.

If you are tired of only managing symptoms with short term solutions and are now ready to get to the source of your patterns, I may be the right person for you. My approach allow us to go deeper into your history and identify the origins of the symptoms you are facing. Together we will use evidence based practices to reduce the effects of these negative core beliefs while also going deeper into your history. We may be a particularly good match if you have been impacted by abusive, critical, neglectful, invalidating and/or high expectation environments and want to shed the lifelong effects of these traumas.

Perhaps you struggle with frequent worrying and feelings of restlessness, which interferes with your daily life and your quality of sleep. Maybe you also live with a chronic pain issue or condition, like chronic migraines, back pain, or something else that causes frequent discomfort. You may experience negative, perfectionistic and self-critical thoughts that you can't seem to shake. These feelings, thoughts and sensations can often seem unbearable, unrelenting and paralyzing. At times, you may wonder if you are all alone in these feelings. I am here to tell you that you are not alone and there is most definitely hope.

You do not have to go through life challenges alone. People come to see me for a number of reasons. Maybe you are seeking help for anxiety or depression or maybe you are going through a difficult event, like the death of a loved one, a break-up, or health issues. Maybe you hope to have healthier and more satisfying relationships. Maybe you are haunted by experiences stemming from childhood or the more recent past. We all are seeking a better life, a pathway to some change, and a greater sense of peace or confidence. Therapy is a great place to work toward these goals.

We all have unique stories that have shaped us. I believe healing is most transformative when we begin to understand the intersections that make us whole: the parts of ourselves that we value and celebrate as well as the parts that we criticize, deny or dislike. I want to know how you feel about your story and how it has impacted your sense of wholeness. My goal is to help you build a better understanding of the pain, distress or fear that holds you back from achieving the life you want so you can begin to make room for more joy and a meaningful existence.

Are you suffering and struggling in the living nightmare of an anxiety problem? Perhaps you are avoiding people, places or activities because of fear, panic or obsessive worrying.

(Note: I am NOT the therapist known as "the Angry therapist." We share the same name =) ). I understand how hard it can be to find a quality therapist, counselor, or life coach. It is no easy task to find someone who not only understands the issues you are working on, but who also "gets you" as a person. It is my hope to make this search easier. Whether you decide to call me for a free consultation, set up an appointment with me, or let me provide you referral, I hope that after talking with me, you are one step closer to finding the help you seek.

Most people who reach out to me feel like there's some sort of a gap between what they want and what they have. This gap is uncomfortable, upsetting, or might be painful. And often it's unclear why this gap exists or what can be done to close it or at least narrow it down a bit. Each one of us has a set of life circumstances that need to be taken into account when attempting to improve on our lived-experience. Psychotherapy is the arena in which those personal circumstances, individual preferences, needs, wants, and struggles can be explored.
