Many of us long for deeper connections, for more authentic living, or to break old patterns that no longer serve. We try and try, but something continues to get in the way. It could be unhelpful thoughts, intense emotions, anxiety, depression, unresolved trauma, lack of skills, etc. My goal is to start where my clients are at and to listen deeply in order to accurately assess how we can best work together. I offer a compassionate, objective perspective to help you see more than the things that have you stuck.

I provide a compassionate and nurturing environment where you can explore your thoughts, emotions, and relationships with curiosity and self-compassion.

I believe in the power of self-awareness and understanding underlying patterns to create meaningful and lasting change.

Do you feel like you and your partner are running in place—replaying the same arguments, drifting into silence, or wondering if there’s something missing beneath the surface? The clients I work best with often struggle to name the emotions hiding beneath the surface, longing for both safety and closeness but unsure how to ask for it. If you’re looking to move past repeated fights, be truly seen, and rediscover the warmth you once felt, our work together can help you find the connection you’ve been searching for. I truly believe we all want and deserve connection, but struggle to communicate/be vulnerable in crucial moments.

All are welcome! I work the most with individuals and couples that are navigating multiple intersecting identities and mental health concerns. As a trans veteran, I find it easy to connect with members of the LGBTQ and veteran communities. I can help members navigate life and the nuances that come with those identities by drawing on experience, training, and education. Clients often find that not having to explain things that feel basic really makes therapy accessible. This baseline can help the navigation of trauma and PTSD to feel less dark and lonely.

As a PhD marriage and family therapist, I have successfully helped couples, families, individuals and college students find happiness in life. I believe everyone has the power to change.

Life can feel overwhelming, like trying to find your way through a dense forest without a clear path. If you're feeling stuck, disconnected, or weighed down by stress or past experiences, you don’t have to figure it out alone. I offer a supportive space where we can work together to help you heal, grow, and move forward. Using neurofeedback, ART, and influences from DBT and IFS, I help clients process trauma, regulate emotions, and reconnect with themselves. My goal is to help you find clarity, confidence, and a sense of balance so you can create a life that feels more fulfilling and authentic.

I work with individuals who feel alone, rejected, or disconnected, often struggling to uncover their sense of belonging. Many of the people I see carry pain that has been overlooked or invalidated, leaving them feeling unseen and unsupported. My goal is to provide a compassionate, steady presence, walking alongside you on your journey toward healing. Together, we’ll confront the parts of your story that feel too difficult to face alone, process your pain, and move toward a deeper sense of connection, meaning, and strength.

Anxiety can overwhelm us when a situation is important or meaningful. If it wasn't important, then anxiety wouldn't be there at all. When mental health is compromised, what is most important becomes affected, such as relationships, health, and spirituality. Somehow you've be able to push through until now. If you're exhausted, lost, and hopeless, I can help. We will work on gaining insight to understand what's going on in your life, and what to do about it. Often healing occurs along the way. You will use your strengths and gain skills. You CAN overcome what is holding you back. You CAN engage with the important parts of life again.

Asian Therapists
Why is it important for a therapist to be culturally sensitive?
A culturally sensitive therapist would be respectful and considerate of different groups, with regard to race, sexual orientation, gender, and other factors that are important to an individual. These considerations can help a client feel understood as well as validated. While some people think highlighting race could promote stereotypes and bias, more understanding and knowledge about cultural differences is a positive for a healthy therapeutic alliance.
How can I recognize an effective Asian therapist?
You can discern a lot by asking how familiar the potential therapist is with different cultures, as well as asking how they might address issues related to identity, values, and beliefs. Also inquire about their education, as well as any particular training they may have completed, such as cultural sensitivity or diversity and inclusion programs.
What if the therapist does not have my exact background?
The therapist may not share a client’s exact background, but the therapist may have plenty of hands-on experience as well as the sensitivity needed for therapeutic progress. Their sensitivity to different populations will help the client feel accepted and comfortable in sharing their concerns and difficulties.
How might I inquire about a therapist's experience with Asian clients?
A therapist with an Asian background may have experience within their community, as well as broader cultural sensitivity. Ask the potential therapist whether they've worked with individuals who share your background. If they have not worked with similar clients, they may well know someone who has such experience.
Who is included in Psychology Today's directory of Asian therapists?
The directory of Asian therapists includes professionals who have shared their ethnicity in their profiles. Psychology Today uses this information to assist clients in finding a therapist who can provide a cultural match. However, not all therapists choose to disclose their ethnicity in their profiles, and they may not appear in search results for this reason; also, when the number of therapists identified as Asian is limited, the directory will also show therapists with comprehensive experience working with clients from relevant backgrounds.
