My practice focus includes Infertility, First-responders and/or their spouses with an emphasis on Marriage & Family dynamics this line of work can bring, and Postpartum preparation & support.

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).
My theoretical orientation is psychodynamic and relational: I believe in the importance of relationships, including ours, as part of the healing. The therapeutic relationship is one of the most important factors for effective treatment. I delight in supporting individuals during life's transitional moments: changes in parenthood, relationship, job, or move.

Family building (including adoption and foster care), women's issues, infertility/pregnancy loss, work related stress, anxiety and trauma are some of the areas that I have had the most personal and clinical experience.
As 1/2 of a couple faced with fertility challenges, I've been there. I have since become a foster/adopt parent as well as a biological parent through surrogacy and have learned a great deal about these areas.

I support clients to live happy and meaningful lives and help them make changes that bring about well-being and transformation. I have a passion to support individuals, couples and families through many different life transitions (from adjusting to college, marriage, divorce, births, loss, retirement, coping with illness, and caregiving). I help clients with a range of relationship issues—from marriage/romantic partner conflict, communication issues in relationships, resolving issues in friendships, co-parenting, parent-child issues, loss of relationship & grief work, contemplation of separation, and exploring unhealthy patterns.

As an experienced perinatal and infertility therapist, I believe that with tenderness and perspective, you can embrace where you are on the journey to familihood.
You feel isolated and overwhelmed in your journey into parenthood. You may be fed up with feeling like you aren't in control of your life, feeling anxious or alone. You might not even remember a time things didn’t feel this way. But one thing is for sure: you’re ready for some relief. You’re ready to live without feeling guilt and shame. You’re ready to feel connected to yourself and your loved ones again. Most of all, you’re ready to find a way to go through the parenthood transition feeling positive and empowered.

Seeking support can feel vulnerable – especially when the culture around us glorifies “self-made” success stories and aspires to a seemingly effortless, perfectly curated social media existence. The reality of course is that life is messy, transitions are hard, and that we all benefit from support. We are impacted by world events, our environments, relationships, the histories of our people (our families, ancestors, communities), and our own unique collection of lived experiences. As a therapist I view my role as that of an ally, confidant, collaborator, collector of resources - and very occasionally a guide.

Infertility, surrogacy, adoption, pregnancy and postpartum are areas of great interest to me.

Clients often come to therapy with a presenting problem and no solution in sight. They may think there is an “easy fix” that a therapist can give them so that they can move forward. In actuality, the problem may be a symptom of an underlying issue stemming from a multitude of sources: their family of origin, trauma, attachment style, adverse childhood experiences, or something else.

My practice consists of working with adults struggling with infertility, depression, anxiety, addiction, and relationship issues.
When you're depressed, anxious or struggling in a difficult relationship being able to move through the world in an authentic way can feel almost impossible, especially when experiencing fertility and other stress related issues. I offer a safe environment to allow you to express yourself without judgment. I will work with you to understand how you are able to create a healthier, happier, more meaningful life. I have seen how the process of psychotherapy that I employ can help people change their state of being and working towards their best version of themselves as human beings.

Are you high-achieving but quietly struggling — carrying grief, identity questions, or the weight of expectations that others in your life don't quite understand? Maybe you're caught between honoring your family and finding your own path.
I work with individuals and families navigating these exact tensions. As a first-generation Chinese American of immigrant parents, I bring a lived, culturally informed lens. My work uses an EFT and trauma-informed approach where our relationship becomes the foundation for real, lasting healing and growth.

I support women and mothers navigating identity shifts during pregnancy, postpartum, and aging, as well as the emotional weight of infertility, IVF, and reproductive trauma.
Many of my clients are individuals and couples who imagined this chapter of life would feel different. On the outside, things may look okay, or even good - but on the inside, it feels heavy, overwhelming, and disconnected. They carry so much quietly and are often hard on themselves for not feeling the way they “should.” You may find yourself overthinking, second-guessing, or haunted by past experiences that are still shaping how you show up today. Yet, a part of you knows you’re ready for more connection, more self-trust, and change.

Infertility Therapists
How can infertility affect couples and their relationship?
Clients who are dealing with infertility may experience conflict and communication problems. It’s not unusual for shame, blame, and guilt to arise in cases of infertility, whether the source of the problem is one partner or both. This means that clients are upset and pulling away from their partner just when they need them the most. Some clients may find it difficult to spend time around friends and family who are pregnant. Friends and family can also make hurtful comments that increase tension during this time.
How does therapy for infertility issues work?
The therapist will begin by gathering information about the client or couple and make a treatment plan for their specific concerns. In addition to addressing common mental health issues, such as anxiety, depression, and trauma reactions or PTSD, therapists can help clients improve their decision-making and deal with stressors unique to infertility. Some examples include coping with the “two-week wait” before a pregnancy test, the distress associated with a failed attempt or miscarriage, and the shame and blame sometimes associated with reproductive concerns.
What type of therapy is best for infertility issues?
Many therapists offer psychotherapy for individuals and couples who are dealing with infertility issues. Some helpful therapeutic approaches include cognitive behavioral therapy (CBT), which can aid clients in reframing negative thoughts about their situation. Expressive writing and art therapy can help clients process difficult feelings. Clients might also benefit from group therapy to experience support from others who are dealing with the same problems.
How long does therapy for infertility issues take?
There is no set length for therapy that addresses infertility or reproductive concerns. Some clients might find it helpful to continue therapy during their pregnancy to have healthy ways to cope with any associated stress, anxiety, depression, or trauma. Some clients who decide not to pursue fertility treatments might benefit from the support of a therapist. The duration of therapy varies depending on the individual client’s specific needs and goals.
