I have clinical experience working with people presenting with anxiety and depression as well as low self-esteem, phase-of-life and transition problems, racial issues, relational issues (whether marital or peer), and familial distress. I believe that with genuine care, support, and accountability, clients can tackle their goals with more understanding and willingness. Though change can be difficult, I believe it is more attainable through the building of a genuine therapeutic relationship. As human beings, connection and support are necessities- especially when we are working on feeling better.

I have more than ten years of experience working with individuals on issues including depression, anxiety, trauma, anger, relationships, family of origin, intersecting identities, transition, medically unexplained symptoms.
Having lived in different countries (China, England, and the U.S.) and the life of both a “majority” and a “minority”, from marketing to mental health, I am able to connect with people in their diverse life experiences. I see therapy as a relationship between two people committed to face the deeper truths of our lives. I am here to understand your unique personal story, and support you in sorting out complex emotional and relational concerns. The goal is for you to set yourself free from limiting barriers, build emotional resilience, and develop more fulfilling relationships with others.

These traumas are often at the root of many problems a person can experience in the overwhelming modern world, like anxiety, depression, and chronic illness.
Life is full of transitions and adjustments; in each of these, you deserve a safe and supportive space to talk about it in a relaxed, guided manner. I believe in the importance of language- how you talk to and about yourself and others- and in the power of stories that make life. I want to help you recognize which stories you wrote in alignment with your values and which were imposed on you by society, culture, and the people close to you. In therapy, I utilize evidence-based techniques while also recognizing that your mind is a vast universe to be approached from a philosophical and spiritual place.

You finally made it, and you’re still not happy. You graduated, landed a dream job, and have a nice home. You checked every box on the “should-do list” and while you’re not completely miserable you're not that far from it. You long for Fridays and dread Mondays, not that it matters because you catch up on work on the weekends. If you feel overwhelmed by work that has taken over the other areas of your life, I can help. I help professionals learn to manage stress, feel less anxious, and set boundaries at the office without jeopardizing their job.

Growing up, my kitchen counter was an innovative space for the love, joy, pain, community, reimagining, grief, & messiness that life can be. This is what my therapeutic space feels like: a sit at the kitchen counter where you can find release, ease, and home. I see myself as a container by which folks can meet the most aligned version of themselves and cultivate a life that is truly their own. It would be such an honor to hold space for you on your journey back home to yourself. I am dedicated to holding space for all BIPOC folks, but especially women, femmes, and nonbinary folks through their healing journeys

Many young adults and working professionals experience life transitions, career stressors, and relationship challenges during this season of life that contribute to chronic feelings of sadness, isolation, and worry. Or perhaps past hurts resurface and we find ourselves having a tough time getting over them. Sometimes in these instances, we hesitate to involve the ones closest to us and, though it can be scary to confide in a therapist, we recognize that we could truly benefit from an objective perspective.

As therapists, we work to build a genuine relationship with each client, create a safe space for discovery, and aim to understand that individual. This allows clients to safely explore alongside the therapist, and begin to see themselves with greater clarity, depth, and honesty. Good, effective therapy will likely not happen overnight (though exciting and wonderful eureka moments certainly occur along the way), and trust, honesty, and humor are invaluable to a beneficial therapeutic relationship. We believe that laughter and tears are equally powerful but that therapeutic change is measured in neither.

I strive to provide a supportive and accepting space for my patients to feel heard and understood while also feeling challenged to experiment with new ways of thinking, feeling and relating.
