Are you feeling stuck in the same painful relationship patterns or struggling to communicate with the people you care about most? Many people reach out for therapy when they feel disconnected, overwhelmed, or unsure how to move forward. Through thoughtful, collaborative therapy, our clinicians help clients understand the deeper emotional patterns shaping their relationships and daily lives. Our goal is not just temporary relief, but meaningful and lasting change. We also recognize that experiences of race, gender, class/cast, and sexuality can shape how people move through the world and experience relationships.

Got a little one struggling with behavior issues? Perhaps you have a bigger one and you're not sure what the problems could be? I've worked with toddlers, young children, and teens experiencing challenges with depression, anxiety, problems with social media, and academic issues. I am consistent, honest, and work hard to ensure kids are gaining what's needed to enjoy both social and emotional success. I even work with teachers and daycare staff. If you need assistance with a challenging student, I can provide specialized school support to help determine next best steps.

My goal is to help children make sense of big feelings, busy brains, and bumpy moments. Some kids have engines that run fast all day long. Others worry so much their tummies start to hurt. Some feel sad and stuck, while others feel mad and mixed up. Some are figuring out friendships, saying goodbye to someone they love, or trying to adjust to new schools, families, or routines. For parents, my goal is to help you make sense of what is going on for your child, why, and how to support them through a lens that is informed by child development, neurobiology, and the scientific research literature on child mental health.

Using PCIT, I will help you support all of your child’s needs so that unmanageable behaviors become a thing of the past.
Struggling with anxiety and overwhelm. You are unsure how to navigate in this world or how to motivate yourself to truly live. That's because you've been going at it alone. That stops here. That ends now because you have taken the step to find me. When you reach out to me, our administrative team will respond to you on my behalf. Their job is to take care of all of your logistical needs, so that I can solely focus on your mental health care. If you prefer to communicate in Mandarin for your sessions, please let them know.
