I specialize in doing the deep work that helps people heal from complex trauma and PTSD, childhood abuse/neglect and other big wounds. You may struggle inside, even if you look put together on the outside. My style is caring, compassionate, and direct. Expect me to listen deeply and help you heal from the inside out. We will work together to help you gain insight and learn new skills for managing difficult situations. You will learn to attune to how your body is experiencing the world and how to let emotions move through you. So much is possible when you have determination and the right guide. Together, let's make good shift happen!

My clients work on stress management and on healthy ways to cope with relationship barriers, grief and loss, creative/academic/work challenges, and life transitions. They enjoy a mature and licensed collaborator as they make changes in or learn to live with a difficult situation. They learn and practice skills that illuminate their choices. They identify their strengths and use them in new ways. They see how perceptions and behavior affect well-being. My clients benefit from a well-rounded experienced therapist (in my case, over 30 years), and they describe me as warm, practical, good-humored, respectful, and nonjudgmental.

I naturally work from a strengths-based, client-centered perspective and feel that collaboration and rapport are key components in the therapeutic process. My goal is to help clients heal and flourish in their lives. Through deeper emotional exploration, things that seem to keep getting us "stuck" can be examined and worked through, resulting in true healing and change. In our sessions, I work with my clients in exploring thoughts, emotions, experiences, relationships, behaviors, etc. and together we work towards a healthier and happier life.

Sometimes we're faced with the why's (why is this happening), the what if's (what if it doesn't get better), and the how's (how am I supposed to get through this), and a lot of times these can take over, leaving us completely feeling well...hopeless. The truth is we are more resilient than we think, we can be stronger than we currently feel, and it's NOT always going to last forever.

I strive to create a warm and trusting relationship with my clients as a base from which to explore their emotions, thought processes, and relationships that are contributing to their current distress. I then act as a guide in helping clients move toward the change they want to see in their lives. My approach to therapy is relational, integrative, and collaborative. I weave mindfulness and self-compassion into explorations of past and current relationships and the building of new coping skills to help clients better manage their current difficulties and change underlying patterns.

Through individual therapy and Somatic Experiencing, I will help you move from stress and disconnection towards a life with greater vitality, confidence, and capacity for intimacy. In sessions with me, you can engage in talk therapy, body (somatic) therapy, art therapy, or a combination of these modalities. This integrative framework for healing helps you notice your emotions and experiences with deeper curiosity, understanding, and compassion as you develop not just an intellectual awareness, but also a bodily awareness of how habit, reactivity, and trauma responses play out in your life.

Finding the right therapist can be difficult, maybe you have asked yourself questions like “will they “get” me?”, “do they know what it’s like to feel torn in multiple directions?” Or maybe, if you are anything like me, you have asked yourself “is there something wrong with me?”, “where are the therapists that look, even vaguely, like me?” As a half-Asian, bicultural woman of color, I’m passionate about supporting others who live at the intersection of multiple identities.

Lucy in the Peanuts cartoon once said, "to be happy you also have to be sad sometimes; then you're really happy." I agree! Life is about engagement with all of your feelings. How do you relate to your life? Are you finding challenges, aliveness, connection to self and others? Do you have a sense of meaning or is life just something to get through? Are you living or just existing? I strive to assist clients in being closer, more alive, connected, and vibrant, embracing the highs and the lows of life with more balance and acceptance.

Have you ever felt helpless, lost, or confused as a parent? Felt overwhelmed by the daily decisions we face as parents compounded by the number of differing opinions on how to be a good parent? Alongside the intense love a parent feels for their child can also come worry, fear, and a deep desire to do everything that we can to nurture their development. Watching your child struggle at school, be rejected by friends, hurt themselves, or explode with anger can feel like an open wound that will not heal. A journey this important should not be undertaken alone.

You are not alone - despite how much the changing seasons or trauma reminders can leave us to feel. Most people struggling with their mental health feel disconnected and isolated. Let's build community with one another. I understand how trauma can play a role in how we function day to day, which is why EMDR therapy can be a helpful tool to rewire the brain and let go of unwanted trauma.

Enough! Every day is a struggle and you've had enough! Perhaps you're sick of pretending life is good and you're happy. Perhaps you're tired of not feeling safe, always being on guard. Perhaps you've had enough of relationships that don't last, friendships falling apart. Maybe you're tired of putting others needs first, never considering your own. Maybe you're sick of believing your worthless, even hating yourself. Or you're done blowing up over small things, being full of rage. Perhaps it's something else, whatever it is, you've had enough! It's time for a change and you're ready to do the work to create that change!
