If you’re feeling overwhelmed by your emotions or stuck in patterns that are hard to change, therapy can help you regain a sense of control. I work with adolescents and adults who are looking for practical tools and meaningful progress, not just a space to talk.
I am an LMHC-D, with experience supporting anxiety, depression, and emotional regulation challenges. My approach is structured, supportive, and focused on helping you build skills you can use in your daily life.
Together, we’ll work toward helping you feel more stable, confident, and in control.

I enjoy working with individuals who want to change old patterns that no longer serve them. I believe that healing begins with exploring these patterns and being curious about how your past experiences impact your present. Drawing on multiple treatment modalities, I support deep, insight‑oriented work in a space where you are understood as a whole person. I intentionally consider how your personal history and socio‑cultural identities shape your experiences and your healing journey. I am not just treating symptoms; I am helping you understand the 'why' so that you can build a more sustainable path forward.

Hello, I'm Sissi. You may find yourself caught in the same patterns - overthinking, pushing yourself too hard, avoiding difficult feelings, or reacting in ways you later wish you could change. I see therapy as a space to slow down and become curious about what is happening beneath those patterns. Together, we can explore where they came from, what they may have once helped you cope with, and whether they still serve you today. My goal is to help you understand yourself with greater clarity while building new ways to navigate emotions, relationships, and life.

Desires drive our lives—what we want, when, and how. Our efforts are focused on moving towards what we desire and away from what we do not want. The more inflexible or rigid our desires become, the more disappointment and anger we feel when faced with undesired outcomes. Frequently, in our pursuit of fulfilling these desires, we may drift away from aligning with our values or becoming the person we aspire to be. And that can be painful. Anxiety and fear often become ingrained habits aimed at avoiding undesired outcomes—”a need for control to achieve what I want or to ensure I don’t get what I fear.”

Are you feeling stuck in your relationships with your partner, family, and colleagues? Are you feeling powerless sometimes? Do you feel like you're never good enough in your relationships, your family, your job? Do you feel lonely even though you are in a relationship? You are not alone. As human being, we all share foundation needs: to connect to people, to feel loved and valued, and be able to love ourselves and others. Sometimes we just get lost in survival patterns developed by trauma and daily stress.

Navigating the world as a queer, trans, or neurodivergent person—or balancing the complexities of an international identity—often means constantly having to translate your experience for others. You might feel weighed down by intrusive thoughts, caught in exhausting cycles of anxiety, or carrying the lingering emotional and physical impact of past trauma. Many of my clients come to therapy because they are tired of masking who they are to get by, and they want to finally make sense of how their current struggles connect to their roots.

I work with thoughtful, reflective, and creative individuals navigating periods of transition. Many come to therapy feeling disconnected from themselves, questioning their identity, or trying to understand who they are outside of family expectations, relationships, or life circumstances. They are seeking more than symptom relief, they want a deeper understanding of themselves and a new perspective on their experiences. I approach therapy with curiosity and compassion, creating a space where clients can explore, reflect, and cultivate a stronger sense of self.

It can be scary, overwhelming, or even shameful to get help, however, this is the first crucial step in your healing process. You might be depressed, anxious, angry, or afraid, but what I’ve come to understand is every feeling is there to teach you something valuable. Feelings are gateways to your inner wisdom so you can see things clearly; they can guide you toward your true path and help you make better decisions for yourself. They are what make us human and allow us to connect to each other so we can have better relationships and therefore happier lives.
