I use the the modalities in psychotherapy in which I am trained (Humanistic, Psychoanalysis, Dialogical Practices) and the learning I have developed along 30 years of practice as psychotherapist, in a responsive way, to each client’s unique needs, challenges and goals as expressed in the therapeutic process.
Clients who will benefit more from working with me are complex, sensitive persons and couples going through some kind of life transition, or some relational or existential crisis, who want to understand themselves better, integrate the many sides of their identity, "own" their experiences, and reflect about their life course and ways of being and relating. Also persons willing to heal from trauma, to build resiliency and unleash post-traumatic growth. I have lived in Europe, Africa and USA, and have developed an expertise in immigration, acculturation, and international and transnational identities and experiences.

I specialize in supporting women navigating parenting, pregnancy, prenatal, and postpartum stages often at the intersections of race, gender, cumulative grief and trauma, through a decolonial and humanistic lens.
Are you struggling to meet the demands of the day-to-day? On the surface everything is “fine” but underneath is there an inner critic that rails against you all day? As an Asian-American therapist who sees the therapeutic relationship as a powerful instrument of change, I see therapy as a sacred site to bear witness to and support the whole person lingering in and around the thresholds of life. It’s a space where you are seen and accepted for who you are, where we can safely untangle generational wounds, shame, perfectionism, internalized invisibility, and find the courage to explore, learn, and tend to the messiness of life.

I specialize in strength-based, humanistic, psychodynamic, and feminist therapy.
My ideal client struggles with self-esteem, anxiety, and/or neurodivergence. They need reassurance, reframing of insecurities, support, and perhaps encouragement to advocate for themselves. Through therapy, they plan to achieve greater self-confidence, independence, and satisfaction with life. They may want a second opinion on their questions and troubles, perhaps due to societal invalidation, sexism, homophobia, and racism.

Humanistic Therapists
How does humanistic therapy work?
One tenet of humanistic therapy is that people are good. The humanistic approach is concerned with a person’s ability to accept oneself. It likewise encourages a person to overcome self-criticism and self-defeating tendencies, as well as disapproval from others. This approach also emphasizes self-actualization and treating an individual as a whole person. A foundation of this therapy type: The patient is the expert in their life, and treatment often takes the individual’s lead.
Is humanistic therapy evidence-based?
Humanistic therapy is an evidence-based practice. Research has found that humanistic therapy can lead to significant improvement, and for some people it can be just as effective as other therapies, such as Cognitive behavioral therapy. The benefits of humanistic therapy are enduring.
How long does humanistic therapy last?
The goal of humanistic therapy is to understand a person’s day-to-day experiences. While sessions can be short-term and last over a few months, therapy can sometimes continue beyond that and last up to a year or more. And because patients learn the theory behind humanistic therapy during treatment, they can also practice its tenets throughout life after therapy sessions have been completed.
Is humanistic therapy effective?
According to research, many patients find success with humanistic therapy. Researchers note that the therapy is particularly useful in addressing poor self-esteem and self-sabotage, as well as improving conditions including anxiety and depression. Improvements in problem areas can be long standing, as individuals can continue working on themselves by using the tools they’ve learned during treatment.
