I provide online video-based therapy for adults who are seeking a respectful, collaborative space to explore their inner experiences. My strengths lie in my attentive witnessing to emotion and body as pathways to unlocking each person’s innate ability to heal themselves, access authenticity, and achieve goals to build towards their vision of a meaningful life. The language of depression, anxiety, trauma, PTSD, OCD, neurodiversity and more may be helpful in addressing day to day challenges, though I also see each person as a complex whole of self, relationships, and culture. Whatever brings you to therapy, you are welcome.

I specialize in depth and somatic psychotherapies that support anxiety, persistent depression, complex trauma, self esteem issues, relationship issues, dream tending, adoption issues, attachment wounds, grief, religious trauma, life transitions, and spiritual growth.
It’s natural to get stuck sometimes. When you feel lost, overwhelmed, isolated, or depleted, a space to express yourself genuinely with a witness can be a soulful haven. Many people I see seek relief, change, growth, connection, and betterment in their lives. They are interested in tending to what has been holding them back and gaining the resources needed to heal wounded parts. Finding a trusted ally is an important step in receiving the help that you need to live fully, as you truly are. I believe in the medicinal properties of the therapeutic relationship and it is my honor to be a supportive companion along my clients’ journeys.

I welcome the uncertainty, the excitement, the sadness, the anxiety, the joy, the in-progress thoughts, the typically undesirable feelings, and more.
As a queer and bisexual, nonbinary femme, 2nd generation Korean American, I specialize in working with those who identify as LGBTQ+, BIPOC, adult children of immigrants, trans, nonbinary, and gender expansive. Do you feel overly responsible for or concerned about others' feelings and expectations, so much so that you ignore your own? Do you question how you should feel or why you do or don't feel a certain way, and then find yourself being pulled farther from knowing what you actually want? Maybe it's hard to know the answer to, "What do I want? How do I feel? What do I need?"

Feeling overwhelmed? Or maybe out of control, lost, stuck, anxious, or like an imposter? Are you or your loved ones repeating behaviors, relationships, or situations, and wishing you could break the cycle? Maybe little things feel more stressful than usual.

That's where I come in. My job is not to judge you; it's to listen, help you understand the root causes of your difficulties, and teach you practical tools to help change your life.

Sometimes, simply existing is overwhelming, and it’s easy to feel lost in that struggle. If you’ve tried therapy before and it didn’t resonate, I recognize how discouraging that can be. My aim is to create a space where you feel genuinely connected, respected, seen, and affirmed. I work through an anti-oppressive lens with individuals from the LGBTQIA2S+ community as they navigate identity, sexuality, relationships, and the complexities of suspected or diagnosed ADHD and/or Autism, anxiety, and trauma. Together, we’ll cultivate a greater sense of control, self-compassion, and help you feel truly at home within yourself.

Hi, I'm glad you made it. Asking for and finding support is tough, but this is the first step. Tell me, do you find it difficult to stay motivated throughout the day? Are you constantly ruminating on interactions with others, anxious about whether you said or did the "right" thing? Perhaps you spend most of your time and energy worrying about how others perceive you? Or, maybe you struggle to feel deserving to take up space in a conversation or a room full of people? If you identify as a perfectionist, people-pleaser, over-thinker, or struggle with low self-esteem or self-worth, therapy might help cut through some of that noise.

Anxiety Therapists
What are the most common treatments for anxiety?
Talk therapy, particularly cognitive behavioral therapy, is the most common treatment for anxiety. Studies have shown it is equally effective as medication. Other popular forms of therapy are popular, depending on a patient’s experience. Exposure therapy, for instance, can be useful for people dealing with fears and phobias, or who have experienced traumatic events. Dialectical Behavioral Therapy may be useful for patients who need help with emotion regulation. Anxiolytic medications, like benzodiazepines, can also help with calming a person enough to focus on the skills they’ve learned, and physical exercise has been shown to help symptoms of anxiety across the board.
How long does therapy for anxiety take to work?
The amount of time needed to alleviate symptoms depends on the severity of a person’s condition. Some therapies may take 5-20 weekly sessions to show results. Anti-depressant medications typically take two to four weeks before a benefit is felt. Anti-anxiety medications are felt typically within 20-30 minutes. Medications are best used to offer a patient a better headspace in which to work on techniques learned in therapy. Exercise, improved sleep habits, and meditation are effective, but takes weeks or months to show results.
When should I seek treatment for anxiety?
Everyone feels anxious at times, but when anxiety causes disruption to your daily life, it may be time to seek help. Such disruption can be mental, physical, or both: having fear dominate your thoughts, avoiding situations or objects that bring on feelings of anxiety, or experiencing shortness of breath, sweating, dizziness, or panic attacks. When these symptoms are recurrent and distressing, it may be time to talk to someone.
How effective is treatment for anxiety?
Treatment for anxiety has been shown to be moderately to highly effective, according to a large body of psychology studies and analyses. For some people, treatment using CBT or exposure therapy alone is effective. Others respond best to a combination of medication and therapy.
