Are you feeling alone, afraid or overwhelmed? Are you having difficulty navigating profound adjustments to your life or your relationships? Are others in your life depending on you to guide them through difficult times? I will help you achieve a sense of calm and a perspective of hopefulness.

My path toward becoming a therapist started as a meditation facilitator, where I gained a deep appreciation of how mindfulness can bring calm and insight. My journey has helped me overcome difficult co-parenting, listening to children or teenagers, navigating divorce and loneliness, working through romantic relationships, and stepping outside of my own struggles to want to be of service to others. All of these life experiences have grounded me in working with a client who appreciates warmth, empathy, authenticity, and an East meets West approach.

Seeking the assistance of a professional counselor is an important decision. Reaching out for help can be difficult, but once the decision has been made, most people, in my experience, find the outcome to be extremely rewarding. Stress, relationship difficulties, and career disenchantment are just a few of the normal issues that anyone may encounter over the course of one's life. Seeking an experienced and skilled counselor to help deal with any of these concerns is a demonstration of personal strength and healthy coping.

Our lives evolve in relationship to ourselves, our partners, our families, communities and other beings (e.g. animals & the land). Healing involves allowing a healthy flow of emotion, communication, care and balance in those areas where we find ourselves stuck. I specialize in working with international and interracial couples and families; and anxiety related disorders including traumatic stress, generalized anxiety, panic attacks and social anxiety from a multicultural perspective. I am fully bilingual and multicultural and will bring to our work my life experience across cultures and my professional training.

As a relational therapist, I deeply believe in the transformative power of community and connection. I focus on helping individuals and couples explore their identity, express their emotions, and transform their relationships. In a world that often dictates how we should be, I offer a space where you are invited to explore and embrace who you truly are. We will work together to identify and navigate the barriers that hinder your growth, empowering you to make meaningful changes and fully embrace all aspects of yourself and your relationships.

In psychotherapy, we work together to understand the meaning of your symptoms and the sources of your pain. The therapeutic process is in large part a careful encounter with the past in the hope of getting beyond what happened to you and discovering who you are apart from your history. It also includes the exploration of your beliefs, emotions, protective strategies, recurring patterns, and relationship dynamics. From a stance of compassion and curiosity, we put words to your experience and what has been unsayable before.

I believe that each of us have great capacity for personal growth. Psychotherapy can be a powerful and effective modality in the process of better understanding ourselves and in working toward change. I specialize in attachment-related issues that often result in vulnerabilities that affect one's current relationships as well as one's sense of self worth. I also have a focus on identity issues related to race, culture, and sexual orientation with a focus on the experience of Asian, biracial, and multiracial people. Additionally, I have extensive experience in treating healthcare workers affected by trauma and burnout.

Waitlist for new clients
Hello! I am not currently accepting new clients, but am happy to put you on my waitlist. Please reach out for a free 20 minute consultation! I see people as unique and relational beings whose stories have been formed by the society they live in, the families they were raised by, and the stories they believe about themselves formed from their life experiences. I believe that the re-telling of these stories, and the language people use, form the realities people experience. I believe building strong and healthy relationships provides the support and community everyone needs.

Did you know that trauma effects 70% of the population? It's the silence and the shame that keeps us stuck or oscillating in all areas of life, including financially. Your bank account suffers as much as your mind or your body. Because by age 35 your decisions are a memorized set of patterns, beliefs and behaviors. So you keep doing the same thing over and over and over again. Year after year. Maybe a different context but the outcome is the same. It's exhausting. I bring my 35 years of training from EMDR, gestalt, NLP, Self psychology and a little known discovery called the window of consolidation.
