I offer direct communication and feedback.

I believe growing up multiracial (Chinese; White) and queer positioned me well to see how uniquely multifaceted each person is.
As your therapist, I work from a psychodynamic and relational frame. We will examine and honor your history, present, desires, and anxieties to not just mitigate symptoms of discomfort, but to increase your sense of agency and self esteem; improve your ability to recognize and handle feelings; and expand your capacity to work, love, and connect with others.

I have specific experience with issues related to anxiety, depression, substance misuse, trauma, sexual compulsions, romantic relationships, spirituality & religion, substance misuse, and LGBTQ identities.
I specialize in psychodynamic psychotherapy, which for me means that I am focused on getting to know you fully, understanding any patterns or repetitions that become unhelpful, and building a relationship that equips you with a better way to understand yourself and move towards your goals.

My identity as a queer mixed race woman of color strongly influences my practice and work with clients.
Common topics clients bring into our work are experiences related to identity formation, family/relationship dynamics, grief + loss, boundary work, attachment wounds, non-monogamy, neurodivergence, trauma & other mental health experiences. I use a mix of theories with a trauma-informed psychodynamic & intersectional foundation at the heart of all of my work.

As an LGBT+ affirming therapist, I have experience treating clients with many diagnoses, including generalized anxiety disorder, major depressive disorder, somatic symptom disorder, and post-traumatic stress disorder.
My warmth and genuineness as a therapist create a unique connection with my clients, making them feel truly seen and valued. Other therapists may take a “blank slate” approach, but I find that showing up authentically as myself creates a safe, non-judgmental space that allows clients to show their own personalities and explore their emotions freely.

In addition to my private practice, I am the Director of Mental Health at The LGBT Community Center.
I believe that compassionate and non-judgemental self-examination can offer us a path toward growth and healing. Wherever you are on your journey, my goal as a therapist is to create an affirming environment that offers support and guidance, honors your complexity, and centers your self-determination. I work collaboratively with clients to address a range of concerns, such as anxiety, depression, trauma, relationships, self-image, major life changes, sex, gender, and sexuality.

I specialize in trauma and LGBTQ concerns, especially ones rooted in relationships.
We are all out here trying to survive, and even the act of surviving can be exhausting. The world sometimes feels like it's caving in and you’re not sure what to do.

I have received certifications in Trauma-Focused CBT, Assertive Community Treatment, Motivational Interviewing, and Complicated Grief Therapy, as well as in CPI's OCD, Eating Disorders, and LGBTQ+ curricula.
I have had a lifelong passion for sexual health and believe it can be an integral part of our well-being. I hope to help people surmount any obstacles to engaging in the sex they want to have, whether that be due to anxiety or depression, body image or self-esteem issues, challenges with relationships or desire, questions of identity, or sexual difficulties after trauma or STI diagnosis. My goal is to help clients overcome the taboo of talking about sex and sexuality, to free themselves from the sexual shame and stigma that is inherent in our society, and to aid people in finding pleasure in themselves, their bodies, and each other.
