Life can feel overwhelming sometimes—whether you’re navigating relationship challenges or major transitions. You might feel stuck in old patterns or unsure why. Using an attachment lens, I help you explore anxiety, dissociation, and inner conflicts. Together, we’ll bridge what makes sense in your mind with what feels true in your body, building healthier relationships with yourself, your surroundings, and the roles you play. As an immigrant therapist, I connect deeply with BIPOC, first-gen, and Asian American clients through art and talk therapy to heal trauma, anxiety, avoidance, and perfectionism for lasting growth.

I integrate psychoanalytic, gestalt, and somatic psychotherapy, with focus on what is happening in real time.
People often come to my practice feeling stuck in patterns of pressure, overthinking, or exhaustion — working hard but not finding the sense of ease or satisfaction they’re looking for. This may show up in perfectionism, burnout, addiction, ADHD, or difficulties in relationships, identity, or life transitions. Rather than seeing these as problems to fix, we look at how these patterns formed, how they are maintained, and how they continue to shape your experience, often outside of awareness.

Psychoanalytic Therapists
Does psychoanalytic therapy work?
Psychoanalytic therapy derives from the work of Sigmund Freud. In this type of therapy, discovering buried thoughts and emotions from the unconscious will help a person work through their difficulties and negative behaviors. Research shows that psychoanalytic therapy can be highly effective, with patients reporting improvement in mood, quality of life, and overall well-being.
How long are people typically in psychoanalytic therapy?
Traditional psychoanalysis is in-depth and is conducted in five sessions every week. Today, modern psychoanalytic therapy is less intense and normally incorporates as few as one or two sessions a week. In some cases, positive change can occur quickly. However, if the condition, difficulty, or behavior is deep-seated, improvement may require many months or years of therapy.
Is psychoanalytic therapy suitable for young people?
Children and adolescents can benefit from this type of therapy. Many kids and teens are often unable to form and communicate their thoughts and emotions. Psychoanalytic therapy uses specific techniques such as dream analysis, symbolism, and free association or word association; all of which can be useful tools for less-communicative young people. Through this therapy, a patient will hopefully make connections between what they feel inside and how the world works outside.
Can psychoanalytic therapy be done online?
Modern-day psychoanalytic therapy is very different from traditional psychoanalysis. While an individual can sit face-to-face with the psychoanalyst for multiple sessions a week, they do not have to. Today, psychoanalytic therapy can be effectively conducted online or by phone. The key is that the individual confronts what is repressed and avoided, and this can be done whether in person or over online video.
