I am so glad you're here. I understand how daunting it can be to take steps towards healing. Perhaps you feel misunderstood by the people around you. Or perhaps you are accustomed to confronting problems alone, without the help of others. Whatever you might be facing, I am here to assure you that you are not alone. I am honored to walk alongside you as you step outside of your comfort zone to embark on your journey to growth and self-discovery. I offer warm and collaborative therapy services to individuals and couples who are seeking to work through past traumas and challenges with identity.

I work and have worked with people from diverse backgrounds, who live various kinds of lives, and have various dreams and visions for themselves. What many of them have in common is that at some point, they eventually came to see that there was a discrepancy between what they wanted out of their lives, and what their lives looked like now. I believe that choosing to begin psychotherapy is one good way to help you determine a path for yourself that is more in alignment with what you truly want and in doing so, allow for you to come to feel more at peace with yourself, your relationships, and your life as a whole.

Waitlist for new clients
Have you experienced abuse (e.g. physical, sexual, psychological, emotional, etc.) in the past and do the impacts of it seem to keep coming up in your relationships today? My name is Soy and I would like to help you find healing from your past. My approach to support you is through relationships--relationship with yourself, with others, and with me. I believe that relationships are at the core of our well-being and I will walk alongside you as we explore, challenge, and navigate strategies in your relationships that no longer serve you, and build on the ones that do, in an open, honest, and curious way.

My expertise lies in helping people manage anxiety, relationship dynamics (with romantic partners, family or friends), depression, self-esteem issues, professional fulfillment, and existential well-being. You may have been so focused on achieving external goals that you haven't had the time to address your emotions or past events and it feels like you can't avoid them anymore. Together, we would navigate through the experiences that have been difficult to sort through on your own and have left you spiraling or feeling stuck.

People often find themselves stuck repeating patterns of relating to others, thinking, feeling, or behaving. These habitual ways of responding feel like the self. And yet, when patterns—typically formed in childhood—are loosened, what feels very much more like the self can emerge with new freedom. Through my psychoanalytic style of practice, I engage people's curiosity about who they are currently, bringing my own interest in life history and impasses that may fall outside of conscious awareness. Often, the impulse to try therapy comes from a feeling that one has been stuck being oneself for some time and it is not fully working.

We are wired for connection — with our internal selves, with others, and within broader communities. But oftentimes there are barriers. It can be something we learned when we were small and trying to survive, a challenging message or "should" from the world around us, or a loss we struggle to understand. Many of us seek therapy to better know who we are and what we want, and be able to communicate that understanding to those around us. Whatever brings you to therapy, your awareness of seeking someone to walk with you on this healing path is a great first step!

Using IFS, EMDR and Somatic therapy, I help women to turn towards the potency and power arising within and use it for what wants to emerge at this time.
Midlife for women can be a time of intense transformation. It’s a stage of life where emotions can feel amplified, and what once seemed manageable may now feel overwhelming or out of control. This includes all that comes with the arc from peri-menopause to menopause and after. This period of profound change and self-discovery can also be an opportunity for deep healing, growth and exploration. I specialize in working with women in midlife who are navigating this rich and complex journey. The highs, the lows, and all that is in between.

Therapy improves relationships. The individuals I work with are often tired of repeating the same patterns again and again, whether it's dating abuse, codependency, or chronic relationship conflict, anxiety, avoidance or indecision. They're ready to get to the root causes and finally make real change. Of course, all relationships start with and reflect your relationship to yourself. If you're dealing with a harsh inner critic, imposter syndrome or low self-worth, this internal relationship deserves your careful attention first.
