Waitlist for new clients
While I am on a waitlist for new clients, I have immediate openings for gender affirming care letters. I can offer this service free of charge for those who can't afford it. Poet Anne Sexton wrote, "That the worst of anyone Can be, finally, An accident of hope." If you're here, you probably feel at your worst. Maybe a traumatic event has left you feeling broken and lost. Perhaps what you've been doing to cope just isn't working anymore, or is doing more harm than good. Whatever your reasons, I'm glad you're thinking about therapy. This process can be scary and takes hard work, and I welcome anyone courageous enough to seek out hope.

Longing for a meaningful life is inherent to being human. Yet, no one hands us a manual, so we often feel stuck. This is where therapists can provide relief. My practice is dedicated to motivated clients ready to embrace transformation by confronting limiting beliefs and behaviors. Therapy requires courage to examine and disrupt harmful patterns and narratives to achieve clarity, resilience, and fulfillment. As your therapist, I can help you harness your innate capacity to grow in ways that align with your values. I use an integrative lens and draw on a wide array of theories and strategies to tailor sessions to your unique needs.

I am a Licensed Clinical Social Worker (LISW) who enjoys helping people grow, cope, and find meaning in their lives. I have a great passion for working with people of all ages, although I am largely seeing teen and young adult clients at this time. I use a strengths-based approach to therapy, and often use models that include cognitive-behavioral and family-centered elements, as well as the ACT theory. Because people and situations are all unique, I also believe in the importance of collaborating with individuals and families to find a therapeutic approach that best fits with specific needs.

I am a holistic provider with over 30 years of civilian & military experience, looking at how nutrition, sleep and movement contribute to mental health.

Growing up as a first generation Asian American, I saw my family negatively impacted by the criminal justice system. This grew into a passion for mental health and desire to help others who may feel as though they have no voice. From the start of my career, I have leaned into opportunities that allow me to be an advocate and to learn more about the criminal justice system. Through this work, I’ve seen firsthand how our system impacts first responders and those affected by our legal system.

I believe that from a young age, we find ways to navigate and survive the world around us. However, sometimes the tools we’ve developed in the past no longer serve us in our current situation and can lead to distress. By gaining a better understanding of ourselves and embracing our strengths, we’re better equipped to develop adequate and effective skills to navigate both internal and external challenges that come our way! I have experience working in settings that have allowed me to meet and work with people with different challenges, backgrounds, and experiences!

I have immediate openings Monday and Wednesdays 1-3pm in Cedar Rapids.
We all have... stuff. Relationships we want to improve, habits we can't shake, choices we don't understand. When enough piles up, or it's how things have always been, we feel stuck - and stressed, sad, lonely, even defeated. I help people explore what makes them tick, what gets in the way, and create a more meaningful life.

I work tirelessly with marginalized communities, most frequently our children, teens and young adults towards living a happy, authentic life. I believe that therapists should embrace and exercise cultural competency while welcoming a diverse community of clients. I pride myself in connecting with all people to find our common humanity while celebrating our differences.

I have helped individuals and couples with issues such as relationship problems, anxiety, depression, other mood disorders, preoccupations with food and weight, substance abuse disorders, gender dysphoria, and recovery from trauma. I prefer to use a narrative approach in my clinical work, though I welcome and encourage client feedback and incorporate tools and ideas from a variety of practice models to help meet clients' needs. Narrative therapy is based on the idea that "the person is never the problem, the problem is the problem."

Grief, death/dying, illness, loss, and major life transitions can crack us wide open and change our lives. It can be hard to find an equilibrium again, especially with numerous ideas about doing things "the right way." Likewise, being exposed to others suffering, working under difficult healthcare-system demands, and shouldering heavy expectations can lead to overwhelm, burnout, and stress. Naming these experiences often put us in touch with the desire for things to be different - whether its about grief, a sense of self, relationships, or career.
