As a queer, Chinese, eldest daughter of immigrants, I believe that it is important to hold space for all parts of you, no matter how much pain those parts have internalized, and no matter have much love those parts have been denied.

What better time than right now to make a course-correction? It's not going to be easy, but nothing worth doing ever is. A vital lifestyle is available to you. You just need to take the first step.

I'm Tanory (she/they) & I am an EMDR and Somatic Experiencing trained therapist. I love working collaboratively with people who want to feel more whole, purposeful & alive in their lives. I work in creative, relational & evidence-based ways to help you transform a variety of issues. I specialize in working with any mental health issue that may be tied to trauma or complex trauma. The therapy techniques used do not require the retelling/re-experiencing of trauma to heal. Your natural inner strength will become more available to support you through whatever life brings, as we work gently and curiously with your unique nervous system.

Beneath all of our disappointments, losses, and heartbreaks, we all want to be valued for who we are, accepted for how we feel, and respected for what we think. I will encourage you to cultivate present moment awareness and self-compassion for the painful difficulties, challenging life circumstances, and to the inner narrative that keeps you stuck in habitual patterns of reacting. While fear and doubt may obscure your perspective, we will work together to help you develop strength-based skills and capacities for moving through challenges. I will help you access your inner wisdom for cultivating trust, balance, clarity, & connection.

As a therapist, my aim is to provide the warmth, stability, and emotional space for you to safely and effectively explore what you need in order to grow into who you know you can be.

The goal of therapy isn’t to ‘feel better’, although that should be one of the outcomes. The suffering we experience is rarely a defective malfunctioning of the brain- it is in response to real challenges and is an important way to prepare ourselves for a developmental leap. When we are suffering, our brains release hormones that promote ‘neuroplasticity’, our minds begin to reexamine outdated narratives, and our relationships are challenged with the need for deeper vulnerability.
