Therapy shouldn't be an expensive luxury. I accept many commercial in-network insurances.

Footprints was started by a therapist who realized that often times the services provided to low socio-economic communities is lacking quality care. We noticed these communities were confronted with long wait times, disrespectful admins, and subpar treatment. The one and only purpose was to exploit the community for profit without providing the level of care deserved. Feel Better Therapy began from the inspiration to provide quality mental health care to the poorest of communities and treating the clients of this community the same way a rich patient would be treated in a clinic treating affluent clients.

After years of academic study of psychology, I moved my focus to clinical work. As a licensed therapist, I have been working with diverse populations in both the United States and China. I believe every therapy is cross-cultural therapy and it is important to listen to clients’ narratives from their own perspectives. My style is practical and interactive. I work collaboratively with my clients regarding treatment goals and I place the search for personal truth at the core of my therapeutic approach. I encourage people to develop curiosity about their own behaviors and look for deeper patterns and structures.

I work with a diverse range of individuals, families and partners. I hold a certification in family and couples counseling. My approach includes reprocessing traumatic events & triggers, building an attuned and confident sense of self, improving communication and managing a life that will bring forth a purposeful future.

I'm a proud queer/pan/poly human, and I absolutely love being a therapist. As a straight-passing queer person, I have a lived understanding of what it’s like to have multiple marginalized identities that are misread both in and outside my communities. As a single parent who was raised in a very religious environment, I have done a lot of my own introspection and exploration to become the sex positive and body positive person I am today.

LIFE IS WONDERFUL and can also THROW CURVEBALLS. As a therapist I am available to see people wanting a calm space to talk about the events and feelings that are unsettling them. I enjoy meeting with my patients and work collaboratively and respectfully with them on a variety of difficulties in living. At some point in anyone’s life there may be overwhelming or traumatic experiences, relationships that are difficult to manage, whether it’s figuring out how to handle romantic uncertainty, fertility issues, raising children, separation or divorce.

Life can be difficult at times. For many of us protecting ourselves from knowing our suffering can take the form of troubling emotional symptoms, self-destructiveness as well as anxieties and inhibitions. Yet it is precisely these symptoms we must take the time to listen to as messages communicating something essential and understandable about our suffering, fears, and wishes - the emotional meanings of our personal history. By listening to you closely and carefully, we will explore together thoughts and feelings that were previously unknown to you yet powerfully affect your life. Talking changes the way things look.
