My perspectives are informed primarily by CBT and DBT.
You might be at a point in your life where navigating relationships causes you a lot of stress and uncertainty. You may have just gotten out of a relationship and feel like you’re making the same mistakes over and over again or that you can’t tell what you’re doing wrong. Perhaps you’re still in a relationship but are unsure about how to feel about it. Maybe you’re not sure what kind of relationship you would like to have with your family. Or maybe you're realizing that your friendships aren’t satisfying in the ways you wished they would be.

I integrate evidence-based therapies like DBT, SSP, SE & CBT in a calm, nurturing, environment to release the burdens you've been carrying and unlock the answers and wisdom you hold within.
I am an experienced integrative therapist helping adults and adolescents to lead happier, calmer lives and find the meaningful committed relationships they desire. Maybe life looks great from the outside but feels like a different story inside, and you've learned to silently accept it. Even when the stress of holding it all together is soul-crushing. Carrying the weight of the world alone is exhausting. Anxiety, depression, trauma, or challenging relationships make us feel sick and tired. Poor coping mechanisms make us feel worse. You can take a step today to end the cycle of worry, fear, grief, or loneliness and reclaim your life.

Using a blend of mindfulness-based and trauma-informed approaches, somatic work, DBT, parts work, my whole-person approach will guide you out of the waters of confusion.
Coping with turbulent emotions, a harsh inner critic, and feeling stuck? Or navigating (asian + immigrant) family and relationship issues that leave you doubting yourself, feeling hopelessly caught up in conflict and drama?
Or maybe you're highly anxious, overly enmeshed and too worried about what others think about you, and find it hard to experience a core sense of self. Your high sensitivity, empathy and emotional ups and downs leave you drained and over-functioning for others. You're highly functioning, but also depressed. And maybe no one else notices. Guilt, shame and obligation drive most of your actions.

I believe that as we explore thinking and feeling through CBT, we may also need to incorporate Dialectical Behavior Therapy ( DBT) and Psychodynamic Therapy methods.
As social animals, we humans, not only learn about others when we talk with them, we learn about ourselves and define who we want to be. Simply put, this is why I believe that talk therapy can be helpful in processing emotions and fostering positive change.

I have extensive training in trauma recovery, dialectical behavior therapy, CBT, and LGBTQIA affirming care .
My intention as your therapist is to help you learn about yourself and your personal journey. I think it's very important to take the time to get to know you, build rapport and trust. We will identify your goals (which can evolve over time) and focus on those areas. I like to approach therapy by understanding what's affecting you in the here and now, reflect on the past and how this may influence your response to current challenges/successes. I think it's important to understand your strengths and build from that as well.

I draw from mindfulness, strengths-based, EMDR and dialectical behavior therapy approaches to help you flourish.

Dialectical Behavior (DBT) Therapists
Who is DBT for?
Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT) is designed for people who experience extreme emotional suffering because they lack the skills of emotion regulation and distress tolerance. The basic affliction can underlie a wide range of conditions, from borderline and other personality disorders to PTSD and treatment-resistant anxiety and depression. The therapy is helpful to those whose emotional reactivity is so intense it is disruptive to everyday functioning and leads to frequent crises.
Why do people need DBT?
The ability to regulate emotions is a core psychological skill that enables people to function in life and pay attention to the world outside themselves; it is consistently associated with well-being. DBT is designed to help people learn how to manage and regulate their emotions. Originally developed to treat people with borderline personality disorder whose extreme emotional suffering led to self-harming behavior and suicide attempts, the therapy is now applied to other conditions involving emotion dysregulation, particularly when other treatments have failed.
What happens in DBT?
Individuals meet weekly with their therapist to discuss their experiences relating to moods, behavior, and skills. Using checklists they maintain, they review emotional experiences and positive practices they engage in. The diaries help individuals discern what led up to a specific problem encountered, this is followed by discussion of the consequences of their actions. In addition, individuals may meet in class-like small groups to learn skills such as mindfulness, emotion regulation and distress tolerance.
How long does DBT last?
Because it is intended to establish long-lasting behavioral change among those with persistent problems, DBT is designed to last six months to a year. DBT includes both weekly sessions of individual therapy and weekly skills-training sessions conducted in small groups. Studies of DBT have documented improvement within a year of treatment, particularly in controlling self-harmful behavior; nevertheless, individuals may require therapy for several years.
