I believe that everyone is capable of healing, growth, and resiliency. Although life is constantly changing and moving, I believe that each person can achieve the life and level of happiness they desire through self-exploration and a deeper look into their experiences. I work from an experiential based, relational/attachment model to support your healing journey and to strengthen self-awareness. I use a variety of modalities through a trauma-informed perspective, including Art Therapy, EMDR, and Somatic Experiencing.

Somatic approaches may be used in conjunction to talk therapy.
My intention is for you to feel safe bringing all parts of yourself into our sessions. All of you - all feelings, all identities - are welcome. Only in a relationship of relative safety & non-judgement can growth happen. I maintain that YOU are the expert on you and as such I take a client-centered, collaborative, and relational approach to therapy. I will use our relationship, my experience, and YOUR insight & self-knowing, as well as appropriate tools & techniques. I will ask about your goals, challenges, strengths, and what has worked for you in the past. Your care will be as individual as you are.

I am a multiracial, multi-ethnic (Chinese, Irish, Taiwanese) queer therapist. I practice from a justice-centered, liberation focused, and nature-informed therapy orientation. I particularly enjoy exploring issues related to climate awareness, disability, chronic illness, gender identity, grief, neurodivergence, racialized trauma, and sexuality. I am currently enrolled in EMDR Basic Training with Deany Laliotis of the Center for Excellence in EMDR Therapy.

I offer online & in person Somatic Experiencing and embodiment coaching sessions that lean toward the science and physiology of trauma, and involve invitations to curiosity about the body-brain connection, in what clients describe as feeling like a hybrid of talk therapy and physical therapy.
I'm an artist, game designer, educator, and all around nerd. My practice focuses on students, helping/health professionals, and artists/creatives. Together we build resources around safety, joy, and ease to support the work.

I tend to work from a variety of perspectives based in attachment theory, Polyvagal Theory, the Structural Dissociation model, parts work/IFS, somatic modalities, mindfulness and self compassion.
You’re overwhelmed, exhausted and burnt out. You’re trying your best and it never feels like enough. Things are getting on top of you. You worry you’re missing something. You just need some help. Or a break. When you rest or take time for yourself, you end up scrolling on social media or watching tv. You don’t rest; you check out. You’re snapping at everyone and feel frustrated all the time. You worry about being an angry person now. Your rage scares you. You haven’t felt like yourself in a long time. It feels like you’re failing or that everything could fall to pieces. It feels like you might fall apart.

With my background in holistic health, Ayurvedic medicine, meditation and yoga, I bring an integrative and somatic style to my practice.
Whether your challenge comes from a past or recent trauma, relationship or interpersonal issues, addictions, issues of loss and letting go, anxiety, depression or just general life-confusion, there are many tools to employ to recover and reset yourself. And doing it with a supportive partner can make all the difference. Therapy is a chance to get to know yourself on a more intimate level, to bring balance to the body, mind and daily habits, clarify values and goals and get you moving in a direction that brings light, joy and purpose back to living. It teaches you grounding, new perspectives and new coping skills.

My therapeutic approach is grounded in internal family systems, somatic therapy, trans-feminism, and DBT to support self-acceptance and liberation.
I believe that all people have their own inherent wisdom and as a counselor, I aim to support clients to embody their truest, most authentic self. I use a non-pathologizing model to support you to identify and understand your individualized needs. I find that understanding, empathy, and collaboration, with a focus on grounding in the here and now develops self compassion and acceptance. Often when we are in pain we have trouble accessing those parts of ourselves. Healing and recovery can happen within a safe and compassionate relationship and I aim to provide that container with you.

Not all want to focus on somatic work though.
Sometimes, the process of "processing" in talk therapy feels challenging. We don't always have the words to describe our experience, or we feel more stuck the longer we talk about the issue. In my work as a mindfulness-based therapist, my intention is to blend traditional talk therapy processing, with mindful awareness of your body to help you stay in the feeling, rather than avoid it or intellectualize it. This allows folks to build distress tolerance, empathy for themselves and others, and feel more self-actualized.

We're living through such stressful times, it can be hard to function our best. As our coping skills are stretched thin, struggles once successfully dealt with may become stronger than we can manage. Relationship issues can intensify as tending to our own discomfort takes more energy, leaving less to offer our partner. On top of all this, navigating the mental health world to find a therapist who "gets you" is a chore unto itself! I'm happy to help, if you feel we might be a good fit. I use a combination of Internal Family Systems (IFS) and somatic work (TRM) to help empower, heal, and bring you more fully back to yourself.

Do you miss the easy way you both would listen and understand each other? Would you like your communication to solve problems instead of start conflicts? When you reach out with a need is it answered? The focus of my practice is relationships, for couples, individuals, and families. Finding ourselves in recurring conflicts and stalemates at home can create a hopeless place, accompanied by feelings of anger, confusion, and loneliness. Through therapy, we can learn to communicate clearly, state our needs, and rebuild trust. Let's work together to unravel the stuck place you're in and rewrite the script for greater joy and connection.
