You’ve been wearing a mask for so long, you feel like you don’t know yourself anymore. You deserve to be seen for who you really are - to be heard and listened to. You want to feel good in your own skin and feel free and safe to be yourself in the world. What would happen if you stopped hiding? How would life be different if you felt your experience mattered as much as everyone else's? I’m here to help you hold space for these questions.

I work with clients across the lifespan who want to better understand themselves or a loved one. I specialize in neuropsychological assessment and therapy for ADHD, autism, learning disorders, and other neurodevelopmental conditions. I believe in “assessment as intervention,” and clients are often surprised by the broad-reaching impact of an assessment. I also provide pre-evaluations and support for those considering psychedelic-assisted therapy. Lastly, I conduct forensic and court-ordered evaluations for disability, parenting, guardianship, and other legal matters, and help clients access accommodations for high-stakes testing.

I take a holistic, developmentally informed approach, addressing the whole person—mind, body, and spirit. Together, we identify triggers for distress, explore how past experiences influence the present, strengthen emotional regulation, uncover relationship dynamics, and examine behavioral patterns. By understanding the purpose and function of these patterns, we develop and implement practical skills and strategies to manage or reduce the impact of anxiety, depression, betrayal, grief, trauma, bipolar disorder and challenges related to identity, roles/responsibilities, impulsivity, addictive behaviors, relationships, and transitions.

I'm a counseling psychologist with training/experience in VA settings, college counseling centers, and now in my private practice. People seek therapy for various reasons. We often think in terms of reducing symptoms, and that can be helpful at times, as it helps make sense of what is happening. I also like to look deeper than that, as it sometimes does not serve us well. I aim to help individuals examine and relate to that inner landscape in a way consistent with their values, have different emotional experiences that foster connection, and help clients build a life worth living.

Relationship Specialist for Couples, Veterans, and Non-Monogamy - It can feel exhausting when the arguments with your partner follow the same script, leaving you feeling more like roommates than a couple. You might be lying awake at night, replaying conversations and wondering how the connection you once had has faded. If you feel stuck in these patterns and are searching for a way to improve your relationship, you don't have to find the path forward alone. My approach is collaborative and focused on creating lasting change.

Maybe you've had the experience that your perspectives and feelings are "too much", "too weird", or not worth acknowledging. As a person navigating a world that may dismiss, minimize, or punish your emotional expression, personal experiences, or intersecting identities, it’s no wonder you might feel overwhelmed, shut down, or like you’re walking on eggshells. I specialize in ongoing therapy for Asian, Asian-American, & BIPOC adults who are tired of carrying the weight of these experiences alone. I primarily work with issues related to mood, identity, difficult family dynamics, processing trauma, and problematic substance use.
