I use holistic and transformative therapies, including AEDP, IFS, DBT, and other mindfulness-based approaches, to develop awareness and balance within the mind, body and spirit.
Whether you struggle with depression or anxiety, are stuck repeating old patterns, or seek support for a specific goal, therapy can be a tool for decreasing stress, building self-compassion, and re-discovering yourself. I offer a safe, collaborative, and nonjudgmental space for you to explore your feelings, while finding the path that leads you to more joy and fulfillment in life. My Asian American identity helps me attune more easily with cross-cultural and intergenerational issues, and I work with both English and Mandarin-speaking patients. I also specialize in helping couples heal old wounds to enhance connection and intimacy.

I use a type of somatic therapy called AEDP coupled with mindfulness and informed by dynamic theory.
Are you someone in a creative industry struggling with anxiety and self doubt? Maybe you have a strong need to be accepted by others and never quite feel good enough.

If you feel like you’re struggling with perfectionism, imposter syndrome, creative blocks, and anxiety in your life, do not feel alone. It’s already hard enough to live in this fast paced competitive environment. Why suffer through it? Let's find your answers together!

I have advanced training in AEDP and EMDR.
Do you struggle with identifying and communicating about your emotions, wants and needs? Do you feel disconnected from friends or family and don't know why or how to change it? Do you feel that life could be more meaningful, more connected, more joyful, or more balanced - but don’t know how to access this elusive "more"? Or have you had a hard time finding your footing after a big life event or transition? The more we ignore or cover up what we're struggling with, the more we feel alone and fear being "exposed." This can cause us to feel isolated, inauthentic, awkward or ashamed and we may experience anxiety and depression.

I draw primarily from AEDP and EMDR.
Are you wrestling with anxiety, unresolved trauma, or questions around your sexual or gender identity? Maybe you’re trying to show up differently in complex relationships, feeling uncertain about your experiences with sex and intimacy, or weighed down by self-doubt. You might be re-examining your relationship to substances. You’re looking for a safe, affirming person with whom to explore your story, understand yourself more deeply, and make lasting change. Together, we can work toward living more confidently, building meaningful connections, and creating a life that feels genuinely fulfilling.

I am trained in AEDP, Core Self Reclamation Therapy/Fierce Love with a psychodynamic/relational background which I believe paves the way for long term personal growth, success and healing.
My experience with weight loss surgery, and long term weight loss maintenance, is one of my areas of expertise. I understand the courage it takes to consider, and undergo, WLS but it is a tool for weight loss and not a cure! Psychotherapy in tandem with behavioral therapy can help you achieve your long term weight loss goals.

My expertise is in getting underneath familiar loops of anxiety and depression using powerful somatic modalities ( AEDP and IFS) that go further than just talk therapy.
So many of us turn to therapy because we're exhausted, overwhelmed, or stuck. We're confused by our own reactions, beliefs, and thoughts. Often it can feel like we're fighting against ourselves and unintentionally hurting others in the process. Even if we have a vague understanding of our negative patterns, unbinding them can seem daunting. We're surrounded by people, information, and options, yet we feel insecure, lost, and lonely. Even the act of finding a therapist is distressing. But if you're here trying, I believe it speaks to the resilience emerging inside of you, driving you toward relief and change.
