I believe therapy is a place to understand and be understood, to feel empowered, emotionally, spiritually and relationally. I have been in the field since 2007 working with individuals, couples, and families dealing with issues ranging from depression and anxiety to addiction and homelessness. I work with all ages, especially focusing on family groups seen individually and together. Every client creates a goal centered plan that includes a variety of interventions from sand and art therapy to trauma focused CBT. Therapy is a safe place to share your journey, learn from the past and move towards the future.

At Wellness, we specialize in relationship issues and couples counseling. If you find it difficult to communicate with your partner or you are frustrated when s/he walks away, your relationship is likely in a negative cycle. All our therapists have experienced advanced training in working with couples and we would be happy to discuss what we do and how we can help. Week-to-week services are available in-office or online. 1-Day and 2 1/2-Day Intensives and Retreats are available in-office only.

When going through struggles in life, you do not have to suffer in silence nor do you have to endure the journey alone. I will actively pursue the fulfillment of your therapeutic goals by listening, collaborating with you, and offering suggestions to foster positive change. Each session is conducted with an impartial approach which ensures that everyone in the session feels heard and understood. My clinical areas of focus include, but are not limited to grief & loss, relationship challenges, stress, anxiety, depression, and supporting the highly sensitive person (HSP).

I love a good puzzle, and I specialize in clients with complex presentations that need a unique blend of treatment techniques. I am an ideal fit for those who feel like they are stuck and have yet to find the help they are looking for. I take a transdiagnostic approach, meaning that I focus more on the pattern of symptoms than on one specific diagnosis. I see a wide range of presenting problems (including personality, mood, and anxiety disorders) and work to understand how all of the pieces of the puzzle fit together and how to best treat them. I help my clients build a life worth living by investing in all the parts of them.

Please note: I am on a waitlist for therapy. However, I am accepting appointments for assessments on a rolling basis. As a Master's level clinician (LCMHC), I specialize in neuropsychiatric disorders, including ADHD, Autism, Bipolar Disorder, OCD, and Anxiety. In addition, I have extensive experience working with clients who have experienced life-changing diagnoses, ranging from brain and spinal cord injuries to terminal illnesses. My personalized approach targets each client's unique concerns, and I collaborate with other providers as needed.

Parenting a child who learns, interacts, and develops differently than their peers can be a joy and a challenge. You may have wondered if your child has Autism, ADHD, or another developmental difference, or if your child is twice exceptional (2e). I specialize in comprehensive diagnostic evaluations for children (infants/toddlers through school-age) to identify their unique diagnostic profile and to provide answers and guidance to their parents. I also provide treatment, including direct child therapy and caregiver coaching, to address areas of need and build on the many strengths of neurodivergent thinkers.

Acceptance, empathy, and respect are the core values I live by and believe necessary when establishing a safe space while walking through the challenges you are experiencing. I get it, it is hard taking the first step to seek help. You may have been going through some difficult situations for a long time, but it does not have to remain that way. I believe you are the expert of your life and I honor that by providing a sacred space for you to process your thoughts and feelings. Together, we can discover your natural ability that fosters the change you seek.

Discovering a vital resource is a big step to a better life. The choice for personal development begins with finding a professional counselor or coach with whom you have rapport and can build trust.

You learned that to get through life, you must be perfect, “proper,” and stay invisible. But operating down this path comes at a cost: overwhelming pressure, self-hatred, and feeling like an imposter in your skin. Belonging has never been easy for me, especially as a child of Asian immigrant parents. The pressure to be "enough" for others or to offset the guilt I felt for all the sacrifices my parents made to succeed in the United States has contributed to my resilience and anxious attempts to hide my imperfections. So, this is an invitation to those who want permission to mess up, be imperfect, and recover from unmet needs.

Life can be overwhelming and exhausting especially when there’s that voice on the inside of you telling you that there has to be more. That voice tells you that you can be more confident, heal from hurtful experiences, have amazing relationships, and be the best version of yourself. The problem is that voice is often drowned out by fear, doubt, lack of confidence, and even past traumas. You know your purpose is great, but are frustrated, overwhelmed, and feel stuck.

As a clinical social worker, my ideal client is someone who is open to exploring their issues and committed to personal growth and healing. They may be facing a range of challenges including anxiety, depression, trauma, relationship issues, or life transitions. These clients often feel stuck, overwhelmed, or uncertain about how to move forward in their lives. Some of their goals include emotional stability, healing from trauma, and improving their mental health. They seek help because they recognize they cannot navigate their struggles alone and that professional help can provide them with the tools and guidance they need.

Maybe it has been a while since you have been able to take a deep breath and feel truly present. You know what you want out of life, but you feel stuck in the fear and pain from past experiences and it feels like history is repeating itself. Sometimes the past shows up in thoughts, other times it shows up in the form of overwhelm, low self-esteem, shame, or feeling like there is no room to make a mistake. At some point, you recognize that feeling this way is not sustainable and you want to take steps towards releasing some of these past burdens, taking in the present, and making space in the future to define who you want to be.

My practice as a clinician focuses on eating disorders/disordered eating, perinatal mental health, complex trauma, and dissociative disorders. Clients typically come to me wanting to heal their relationship with food and better understand their relationship with their body. I help my clients begin to notice the ways in which their past experiences impact their current experience of safety.

Has a past experience left you feeling stuck and unable to reach your full potential? Events such as a tragic accident, military combat, loss of a loved one, bullying, domestic violence, divorce, childhood abuse and living with a parent diagnosed with a mental illness are all traumatic experiences that can cause stress and imbalance in your life. I specialize in helping children feel better about themselves; parents feel empowered with the skills to raise their children; and individuals feel connected and able to find new meaning in life free of anger, anxiety, and sadness.

I specialize in working with adolescents and adults experiencing a range of symptoms including difficulty with adjustments, depression, anxiety, trauma, grief/loss, stress management, low self esteem and maladaptive coping.

I help individuals who have experienced anxiety and/or trauma reclaim their lives. Trauma can take many forms whether it be: witnessing/experiencing domestic violence, sexual abuse, physical abuse, emotional abuse, community violence or tragic loss of a loved one- to name a few. For many, the end result is flashbacks, nightmares, dissociation, irritability, low-self-esteem and feeling disconnected from yourself and those around you. My clients have seen and been through some serious stuff. Despite being determined, caring and hard-working, they feel like they cannot get back to life before what happened- well happened.

Clients often tell me they feel like something is missing or they know what the problem is but can't resolve it on their own. Most are beginning to recognize unhealthy patterns and can't quite understand the origin or how to change. They are distracting themselves from the real issues with self sabotaging behaviors such as overeating, overworking or excessive alcohol intake. Sometimes they just need help adjusting to life changes such as divorce, illness/health changes, partnering, retirement or becoming a parent. I treat a variety of issues/mental health diagnoses including weight management, binge eating disorder, compulsive overeating and bariatric surgery.
