As a therapist, I want to encourage others to reach out and experience the benefits of therapy. My therapeutic style is rooted in the belief that people are intrinsically valued and are deserving of fundamental human connection; to be seen, to be heard, and to be understood. These fundamental values hold the framework in how I work with the individual. I enjoy working with Asian American individuals who may have conflict with immigrant parents due to cultural and generational differences. Individuals who struggle with self-identity, and reconciling cultural issues and family dynamics.

Currently, I primarily work with clients struggling with anxiety symptoms, whether they are related to social situations, many different situations, or specific phobias. People who choose to work with me are willing to engage in honest, open conversations not only about their symptoms but also working together to identify which strategies are no longer working and identify new ones that can be integrated into their lives. These individuals are interested in learning more about themselves and their patterns as well as exploring solutions that feel reasonable and well-fitted on a personalized level.

My approach to psychotherapy focuses on deepening your working knowledge of human behavior in order to foster more autonomous, better informed decisions in both your professional and personal life. Psychotherapy provides a space where one is encouraged to be oneself, directly experience what is happening, and reflect upon one's complex and, at times, conflicting thoughts, emotions and behavioral patterns. Success is measured not only by relief from current symptoms but also by an increasing capacity to know yourself more fully, to find greater satisfaction in what you do and to feel more fulfilled in your relationships.

Hello! I'm a level 2-trained IFS therapist, I know how important relationships are, and how little we are taught about how to do them! I work with women who are feeling disconnected from themselves. Women who are struggling with body image issues, eating disorders, trauma, boundaries and relationship issues. I'm here to help facilitate a relationship between you and all parts of you. I believe there is creativity, reflection and expression inside of everyone and it can be easier to communicate without words. I bring warmth and energy to the room and levity to situations that can sometimes feel overwhelming and heavy.

I am a psychotherapist specialized in working with adults, couples and families. I offer support for a wide range of issues and challenges. My approach is grounded, warm, engaged and collaborative. I work from a relational psychodynamic perspective. Our past experiences and traumas can have a significant impact on the way we relate to ourselves and others. With the exploration of this old patterning we can be empowered to make different choices. In doing so, our lives have the chance to be made anew.

As a child and adult therapist I am fortunate to witness the entire developmental span. With this unique window into the lifespan, I help children, parents, adults and couples gain insight into the patterns being created and already created in the mind of how they relate to and with the world i.e.how they relate to themselves and others. By first developing a safe and respectful relationship with my patients, we can begin to understand and uncover these complicated yet reflexive patterns that at some point served them, by protecting their self integrity, but along the way began to cause more harm then good.

Trauma, relationships, anxiety. I help people feel relief and deeper understanding from any and/or all of these, and whatever is coming up for you because of them. Feeling overwhelmed, stressed, run-down, in a rut or stuck are all great reasons to come to therapy. It's also okay if you're not exactly sure what's going on - but you know you want to feel better. I have a deep understanding of how our past affects our present and where patterns come from. Taking time to unpack them is a crucial step to breaking free and living the life you want - something I know that you are truly capable of.

If you have a history of depression and anxiety, you no doubt know what it feels like to move through your day as if trudging through a swamp. At worst, there's little desire or motivation or energy, and then when you do climb out of these moods, you see yourself at some point fall back in. You are likely wanting to learn how to gain some permanent ground, to not have your mood rule you, and to just feel better from day to day. If this is what you are after, then I'd like to help.
