I work with many queer, trans, and gender expansive clients, as well as clients who are involved in activism and social change, and who struggle to balance integrity and values alignment with surviving and thriving in this messy world. We care for ourselves in order to get free and channel our energies into building a better world. The majority of my clinical experience is in the community mental health field, working with adults and adolescents struggling with intersectional oppression, chronic mental illness, chronic pain, and addiction.

My approach is dynamic and relational, being informed by a lifetime of psychological and spiritual inquiry.

I choose to use an approach that is respectful, non-blaming, and collaborative. We live our lives through stories. Often times, these stories we have come to know, no longer align with our values and beliefs. This is where problems emerge and attach themselves to our stories. By gaining some distance from the problem, we can begin to change our relationship with the problem and discover new stories that more closely align with our beliefs. I aim to empower my clients by positioning them as experts in their lives in a non-pathologizing, inclusive environment, where the problem is the problem and we together find the solution.

Do you struggles with your relationship? Do you want a more intimate connection? I believe we are driven to grow and we choose our partner to help us grow. Going through conflicts and resolving them is what help us to know ourselves and our loved one better. The last 11 years, in a safe, trusting, and warm environment, I successfully helped couples, as well as individual, to learn from these conflicts and help them to build more harmonious relationship and better life.

In 2020, the lives we took for granted were suddenly turned upside down, and, for many of us "normalcy" has never returned. If you're feeling confused, as if your life has never regained its center or direction, you're not alone. For so many of us, the question continues to be "What now"? Disruption reminds us that the opportunity for change has always been there. What kind of change do you want in your life? What do you think prevents you from making those changes? Give me a call, and let's find some answers to those questions. You decide where you want to go from there.

Therapy is an opportunity to address problems we want to change, gain insights into our concerns, and develop new ways of being. My approach to therapy is best described as integrative with a strong grounding in psychodynamic, relational, and multicultural principles. I draw on cognitive behavioral therapy, dialectical behavior therapy, and accelerated experiential dynamic psychotherapy to co-construct effective strategies for everyday life beyond the therapy room. I strive to provide clients a safe space to increase awareness, make meaning of the experience, and begin to cope and overcome life's difficulties. I provide individual and couple's therapy. I speak Mandarin and English.

"I see things differently." I see you fully able to achieve your goals. I see you as one who likely needs a non-judgmental place to talk about things: your future goals, how drug/alcohol use, etc fits w/that future, & how you see yourself getting there: abstinence, sober curious. moderation. I'm a collaborator, one who's committed to listening deeply & providing a space to talk about anything, for individuals/families/all. I am not a therapist; my main focus is on today & tomorrow though we may visit the past. And I follow the science of change & addiction; it shows there's no one way to recover/change & that's great news!

I offer an opportunity to utilize heartbreak in service of growth and to begin to untangle the reality of your current relationships from the residue of your history. I challenge parents to set firm limits with warmth and to allow children the full expression of their feelings.
