My name is Stephanie and I’m a Licensed Clinical Social Worker. I work with adult individuals who want more balance in their lives and to improve their relationship with themselves and others. The clients I work with want to understand how to feel better, how to think more productively, and how to utilize their strengths in a way that will bring them closer to their goals. As a therapist, I am committed to creating a safe and inclusive space for all individuals to explore their thoughts, feelings, and experiences. Central to my practice are the principles of anti-racism, LGBTQ+ allyship, and a feminist perspective.

I often work with people who grapple with hard questions to which there is no one "right" answer. I offer a non-judegmental atmosphere in which each person can seek his or her own answers. Therapy is a co-creation. I work with each person to find what "speaks" to him / her. That may include talking, mindfulness practices, or creative arts therapies. Using these methods accesses parts of the brain that can't be reached through words alone, and puts people in the flow of their wisdom and creativity, from which solutions to problems can emerge.

You don’t have to keep holding everything together on your own.
As an Asian-American therapist, I understand the quiet pressure to succeed, caretake, or “not make waves.” Many of my clients are high-achieving, thoughtful, and exhausted from masking, whether that’s navigating cultural expectations, family dynamics, or being neurodivergent in a world not built for their brains.

My journey to becoming a therapist began with a deep curiosity about human behavior and the motivations that drive us. This passion led me to study Psychology at Chico State, Counseling at Sacramento State, and eventually Applied Behavior Analysis at the Florida Institute of Technology. Over the years, I've had the opportunity to work across a multitude of modalities, including clinic settings for Applied Behavior Analysis (ABA) with children (aged 2-18) and their families as a parent coach. From here, I've worked in group private practice, school-based mental and behavioral health, and community mental and behavioral health.

The women I work with are dealing with immense pressure in their personal and/or professional lives–even more so given the pervasive realities of sexism and racism. Many of them work in helping professions (e.g., medical field, mental health, education, ministry) and feel overwhelmed and drained, anxious about kids and work, and frustrated with their relationships. Many of my clients are also activists and advocates working for equity and justice. They are exhausted and burned out, often feeling isolated from friends and family. For some their work is bringing up personal trauma that is hard to get a handle on.
