I also enjoy working with other issues such as depression,
anxiety
, relationship issues, and communication concerns.
I believe that in order to be healthy and happy, the individual must be focused on growth and change. If you are not healthy or happy, then change is needed. However, several factors complicate this simple truth. We give too much or allow our power to be stolen rather than exchanged; Fear, anger, and sadness can override logic and wisdom. How we act and think affects our experience of reality. I work clients to help increase their sense of self-direction, align their behaviors with their goals, and replace the negative thoughts and behaviors with a more positive perspective.

I love to work with clients who struggle with
anxiety
, depression, substance use disorders, low self esteem/self compassion, and histories of trauma. I don't believe you need to “find your voice.” Instead, let's teach you how to use your voice so others will listen. I believe in therapy, and its benefits. I want to help you see therapy in a whole new light. Let's get you feeling better and living well.

I invite you to partner with me in your exploration of healing. As a psychotherapist with 20+ years of experience using Jungian psychology to help adults, adolescents, and children, I address a wide variety of issues and challenges, including relationships, depression,
anxiety
, trauma, malaise, spiritual trials and child development. When we sit together, we will explore your “shadow.” Your shadow is made up of parts you do not accept about yourself, and it sometimes generates overwhelming emotions when it breaks into everyday life. This work is about building a bridge to your inner world that will bring wholeness and balance.

I specialize in working with high achieving individuals and athletes as well as those who struggle with
anxiety
, depression and trauma.
Are you feeling stressed, overwhelmed, anxious or depressed? Maybe you've been having thoughts of not being good enough or questioning your identity. You might be the kind of person who is used to having it all figured out and can usually manage things on your own, but lately it’s been feeling like too much to handle. Stress is starting to negatively impact your relationships, work, and health. Trying to carry this weight can be physically and emotionally exhausting especially when you’re trying to do it alone. That’s where I come in.

I am passionate about working with all genders ages 16 and older, with a particular interest in complex trauma,
anxiety
, depression, religious trauma, and culturally sensitive therapy.
I was raised in the diverse melting pot of NYC as a first-generation Chinese American, born to parents who emigrated from Hong Kong. After college, I moved to Nashville, where I had the wonderful privilege of traveling the world as a musician. These experiences afforded me the unique opportunity to hear thousands of people’s stories—from depression, suicide, grief, and addiction to hope found amidst it all. Through these stories, as well as my own, I came to realize the powerful gift of therapy and the difference that occurs when one comes to understand their intrinsic worth and their capacity to be seen, heard, known, and loved.

I am a pre-licensed clinical fellow at The Briggs Institute, Inc. The therapists at the Institute are graduates of Lipscomb University's Master of Marriage and Family Therapy Program. As the only COAMFTE accredited program in Nashville, the Lipscomb MFT program has earned its fine reputation by meeting the highest academic and clinical experience standards in the country. Because we practice under the supervision of the Lipscomb MFT program core faculty, we remain connected to academia. This means our work is informed by state-of-the-art scientific research that most private practice therapists can't easily access.

You can tell when things feel off and when you are not going in a direction that feels authentic. I believe that therapy is about strength. The strength to be vulnerable, to take ownership of your story, and to learning about yourself to act out your values with integrity. Life can be been difficult on our minds and relationships. Individual therapy can provide support for grief, depression, isolation, and
anxiety
. Couples therapy can strengthen the bond in your relationship. Reaching out takes courage, a desire to change, and often pain. You don’t need to be alone in being stuck, in change, or in pain.

In therapy with me you'll learn the language of your nervous system to become your own best medicine & healer. Life is too freaking short to be anyone but yourself, and if you're not experiencing your life the way you'd like to.. we can change that. As an
anxiety
specialist, I can tell you that you don't have to feel so stuck & unfulfilled. Happy lives & relationships aren't just what happen to other people. You know that wise inner voice of yours? The one quietly telling you that things don't have to be this way? That's a voice that we'll work to amplify in our work together with high compassion, low B.S.
