I have completed level 1 training in Internal Family Systems therapy; deep healing and self-compassion facilitate life changes.
Congratulations on taking steps toward support! Finding a clinician is not always easy, it takes time, and starting is hard! But feeling connected with your provider is one of the most important aspects to create support and change. I hope you find that connection on your journey whether with me or somebody else. Most people start counseling from a place of feeling overwhelmed, stuck, and uncertain how to change it. Some people know what is creating these challenging emotions in their life and other's don't. We will work together to explore your personal factors, determine your ideal goals, and build confidence to achieve them!

I practice IFS, Somatic Experiencing, Safe & Sound Protocol, and Hypnosis (parts and regression) in ways that affirm your unique identities/cultural contexts.
Is simply talking not helping you to heal in the ways you know are possible? Do you know what actions will help you, but find that the emotions and body refuse to follow? Are you looking for deep healing that acknowledges the complexity of external factors, yet allows you to go deep into your body, your consciousness, and creativity to access the healing within you? If these words resonate with you, I'd love to explore with you. I use many unconventional tools that we can fit to match your intentions, alongside talk therapy.
I expressly accept most insurance because of my desire to offer quality therapy not typically covered.

Whether you’re struggling with anxiety, navigating a big life transition, or simply feeling “stuck,” you deserve a space where you can truly breathe, be heard, and feel supported.
We intentionally keep our practice small and personal—so you’re never just another name on a schedule. We create a welcoming, nonjudgmental space where all parts of you are welcome: your doubts, your strengths, and even the parts you’re still discovering.

I integrate techniques from IFS, EFT, and DBT into a compassionate client-centered approach.
Therapy is about reducing the overwhelm you feel to enjoy your life instead of trying to get through it. You might have a vision for how you want your life to look, but feel unsure how to get there. If you’re feeling burnt out, stuck in relationship patterns, navigating challenges around intimacy, or constantly juggling family expectations, I offer you time to slow down, tune in, and discover what you actually need. I specialize in working with adult children of immigrant parents and all the dynamics within. I want to help you find yourself when you might feel lost.

Using family systems and trauma-informed care, I guide clients toward clarity and healthier patterns.
I help adults untangle the knots of complicated relationships. When one faces conflict, or painful cutoffs, it’s rarely just about the present moment, but a larger story linked across generations. My work centers on helping you see that story clearly, reduce anxiety, and create lasting change in how you relate to yourself and the people you love. I work with adults navigating parenting struggles, or the pain of rejection from a family member; couples caught in repeating arguments or feeling disconnected; adults struggling with loyalty binds, family cutoffs, and seeking new ways to communicate and relate to loved ones.

At the heart of On Living Psychotherapy is an invitation to explore what a meaningful life looks like, for you. It’s common to become separated from your own life, moving on autopilot, trying to accomplish what you believe you should be doing. You may find yourself comparing your life to others and feeling as though you’re not doing things well enough, without noticing how deeply incomparable your life is. Over time, this can leave you feeling disconnected from yourself, from others, and from the sense of aliveness that makes life feel meaningful.

Internal Family Systems (IFS) Therapists
What is Internal Family Systems therapy?
Internal Family Systems (IFS) is a type of talk therapy that focuses on sub-personalities, or “families,” within a person, which may be made up of wounded parts and unpleasant emotions like anger and shame. These sub-personalities can come into conflict with each other and with an individual’s core Self, leaving the person feeling detached from positive traits such as the “8 C’s” of confidence, calmness, creativity, clarity, curiosity, courage, compassion, and connectedness. By healing a patient’s wounded parts, a therapist aims to restore balance and bring on positive change.
How does Internal Family Systems therapy work?
An IFS therapist will work with a patient to identify their particular sub-personalities, recognize the emotions powering them, and release them. By doing so, the patient should become more able to address any underlying problems their sub-personalities may have been trying to protect them from. Ultimately, a patient discovers ways to manage internal and external conflicts on their own, through techniques such as relaxation exercises, journaling, and making charts depicting the relationships between their core Self and their distinct parts.
Does Internal Family Systems therapy work?
IFS therapy has been shown to help people address conditions such as depression, anxiety, panic, fears and phobias, trauma, and substance use disorders. Some research has also found that it can help individuals deal with symptoms of physical health conditions like rheumatoid arthritis, such as pain, everyday functioning, depressive feelings, and low self-compassion. There are some conditions for which IFS treatment, specifically discussions of one’s “parts,” may be less appropriate, such as schizophrenia or other states that involve psychosis or paranoia.
How long does Internal Family Systems therapy take?
As with most forms of talk therapy, there is no set duration or end point for IFS therapy. After becoming comfortable with a therapist and the core concepts of IFS, some patients quickly make progress. While experiences vary, most will find that it is a relatively longer-term therapy, involving months and sometimes years of sessions.
