“Tell me what you fear and I will tell you what has happened to you.” - D.W. Winnicott. A guiding principle of my therapy is linking the suffering of today to the root of why it is so painful. My interest and expertise has focused on: 1) Perinatal Mental Health (pregnancy, loss, infertility, and postpartum), 2) Couples Work (particularly grappling with issues of monogamy), and 3) Long-term Individual Psychotherapy (struggles with relationships, creativity, and being in touch with your true self). I believe in being Good Enough rather than striving to be the perfect (partner, parent, person).

After over 30 years of clinical practice I realize that getting involved in therapy takes great strength, endurance, and commitment. I am always willing to offer clients a safe environment with my own strength and commitment to do the work that needs to be done. My work with children has helped me work more effectively with adults and my work with adults have helped me work more effectively with the children.Please note that during the virus crisis I am conducting sessions both in person(with some requirements) and on a Hippa approved video therapy network.

My work with you begins with the recognition that it takes courage to seek help. You may have questions about why you feel the way you feel and why you do the things you do. I believe you are not defined by your symptoms. Whether you struggle with love, work, or relationships, whether you are in crisis or you have received a mental health diagnosis, I believe that your true desires, conflicts, and needs are meaningful and worth actively getting to know. From our first session together, I meet you where you are.

I currently work as a Licensed Psychologist in the state of Minnesota. I have experience working with individuals who have struggled with substance use, severe mental illness, suicidal thoughts, homelessness, grief/loss. In addition, I have worked with LGBT+, Spanish speaking populations, older adults, and those involved in the legal system. I began my career working with children and adolescents at an outpatient clinic where I provided individual and family therapy in Spanish and English.

My goal is to help people obtain insight, new perspectives, and tools for improved wellbeing. I enjoy working with a wide variety of people and implement a range of evidence-based treatments. When I work with people in therapy, I utilize the whole person and look at biological, psychological, and social factors that may be impacting their wellbeing. When we begin working together, I discuss different approaches to therapy so that you can make an informed decision about what approach you prefer.

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.

Getting your power back, finding your spark. “And the day came when the risk to remain tight in a bud was more painful than the risk it took to blossom” (Anais Nin). To offer hope beyond relief; this, at the essence of my practice.
With a gentle, reflective space to process stuck zones, we’d trace connections to liberate insights that’ll inform needs, and align the proper tools and resources for opportunities to be, to create, and become.
Treatment is dynamic, affirming, and flexible. Grounded on a sense of purpose, with existential and sociocultural layers of identity development to inform a full view of the self.

I work with sensitivity and compassion to create a safe environment in which issues can be explored. I de-mystify the therapeutic process in order to help you maximize your efforts to create the life you wish to have. I help you to discover the unique person you are, whether you are a professional, an artist, a parent, or a couple. Whether your challenge is situational, chronic, or acute, my goal is to help you learn how to create a more fulfilled life and enrich your relationships. I work deeply and pragmatically, so that you gain both insight, development, growth and practical knowledge.

Together we will leverage evidence-based therapies and techniques to redefine your stories of pain, loss, trauma, or suffering. I help clients feel stabilized in their distress while also providing opportunities to work through difficult emotions that leave them feeling “stuck”. I provide support in identifying, accepting, and regulating these emotions. This increases feelings of competency and autonomy which promotes relational growth with self and others. We will also focus on your unique values and what matters most to you to guide our work together.

In my practice, I help people process and release traumas with an integrative and holistic approach. Anxiety, depression, grief, and trauma can show up differently in everyone and is not always as obvious as you'd think. You might find yourself in a rough season of life where your normal coping tools are not bringing you relief. Or maybe you are noticing old memories or feelings coming back that are starting to preoccupy you and negatively affect your relationships and overall functioning.
