Welcome! I help my clients develop tools to remove obstacles that stand in the way of their happiness and prevent them from tapping into the innate wisdom that each of us possesses. I incorporate Eastern philosophy and meditation with contemporary psychology in creating an open space in which healing can unfold. My process is strongly influenced by mindfulness and cognitive behavioral approaches.

I have experience working with a wide range of patients from young children to older adults. I approach therapy from a patient-focused and strengths-based lens, believing that each individual has the capacity to overcome life's challenges when it comes to all areas of work, relationships, and family. Additionally, growing up in a Chinese (Fujianese) immigrant family in America, I understand the impact of generational trauma and cultural identity struggles that first generational individuals and people of color may deal with. I work with patients and within the community to mend and grow from these experiences.

For over 20 years, I’ve helped people with two types of goals: 1. Personal Growth. You feel pretty good, even great, yet it seems like something's missing. Or perhaps you’re navigating a new level of success and could use some solid and creative support. 2. Challenges and transitions. You may be dealing with past or recent trauma; anxiety; PTSD; depression; feelings of emptiness; relationship difficulties; artistic impasse; chronic or terminal illness; existential anxiety; and other concerns.

I have found that the most efficient avenue to life progress can be the connection between the psychotherapist and the client. Such connection promotes an evolving internal connection with one's most true passions,and offers the company of another in facing fears. I would help you to deal with conflicts that block your motivation and passion and help you open to new ways of engaging with your inner resources, and with the significant people in your life.
In order to this I address any blocks & resistances that interfere with deep and authentic feeling contact.

As humans, we tend to avoid our more difficult and complex emotions in hopes that they will disappear. However, it is more often the case that the feelings we turn inward find their way out, and sometimes in a less-than-ideal way. Therapy is a unique space to explore the parts of you that tend to stay hidden. It is a space to “look beneath the hood” to understand more fully who you are and "why" you are. With this newfound insight, we can explore ways for you to engage more fully in your life and relationships, dig into your sense of purpose, and reconnect with (or discover for the first time) feelings of stillness and joy.

As a psychotherapist I help adults and children connect to their strengths and resources by providing therapy through the lens of creativity. You or your child may be feeling stuck, struggling to cope with behaviors, or adjusting to life transitions such as divorce, changes in relationships, career or school. My approach uses both verbal psychotherapy and creative interventions. I like to bring music into the therapeutic process because it helps one connect to their body, emotions and memories when talking alone falls short.

I believe the relationship between a client and therapist is sacred. I think therapy is a reciprocal process, and I have learned a great deal of life lessons from my clients. I customize my approach based on my client's needs, values, and/or willingness to gently explore a new framework. There are benefits to talk therapy and immense benefits to somatic based practices. I invite my clients to tune in to the ways their bodies communicate with them on a daily basis and to use that information to improve their relationships with themselves and others.

What holds you back? Do you find yourself feeling stuck, going through the motions of your day, or feeling trapped by your thoughts? Discover the tools you need to succeed and honor your story.

I hope to work with you through stressors as you become attuned to your present needs and explore how life events and societal/familial expectations may play a role in your life.
