I aim to provide a safe, non-judgmental space, empathetic/active listening as a compassionate presence and witness to see you, hear you, and meet you where you are in your human condition. My hope is to inspire your inner compassionate healer to go through your current circumstance and increase sense of peace, meaning and purpose. As an Asian American woman, I have a personal understanding of how to successfully navigate multicultural systems, especially those of Eastern/Western combined backgrounds. A rich full life experience as a classical musician/artist before mid-life, helps inform my service with added empathetic capacity

I believe a strong connection built on trust is at the heart of therapy and life coaching and that this is more likely to help lead you towards recovery, personal growth and achievement of your therapeutic goals and successful outcomes in your life. Through dialogue and collaborative spirit we will work together to identify goals that can help you to a more rewarding life experience.

Guided by my client’s needs and issues, I use a variety of theoretical orientations to work WITH each individual. My primary approach to therapy is Person-Centered, meaning emphasis is placed on creating a safe environment where clients are supported as active participants in exploring their experience and developing personalized goals. After the initial evaluation and developing a collaborative relationship, patients are supported in developing skills that allow them to move forward in confidence, not that all problems are solved but, in understanding they have what they need to manage their unique struggle when it shows up.

At this time I'm running a wait list. Please email instead of calling. I work primarily with adults at this time due to my daytime availability. If you are tired of spinning your wheels and feeling like you're getting nowhere, we can work together to help you break out of old patterns that keep you feeling exhausted, worried and lonely. Using a holistic mind-body approach and focusing on healthy relationships, we can get you to a place of more peace, fun, and enjoyment in life. I work in collaboration with my clients to achieve the changes they want to see in their lives.

I work with individuals who would like to explore how their upbringing has influenced the way they relate to others. Perhaps you’ve noticed the same patterns emerging in your romantic relationships or friendships, and you’d like to understand why. Do you struggle to establish and maintain boundaries? Is there something holding you back from asking for what you need and being vulnerable? Your parents may not have provided you with much emotional support due to generational and/or cultural differences. You’d like to understand whether the survival mechanisms that you’ve learned as a child are still serving you.

Are you struggling with chaos, family conflict, anxiety, depression, or feelings that you have no way to get control of your life back? Are you looking for a way to begin moving forward again? You deserve a life without the of cycle of problems, reactions, and pain. I would love to help you find that life. I believe that therapy is a collaborative process that respects and involves the client, adapting techniques to the needs of the individual. Whether you are dealing with divorce, mental illness, or a rough patch in your life, I believe we can overcome it.

Beginning the exploration of your thoughts, feelings and behaviors is a courageous challenge. I view people as experts in their own lives who sometimes need assistance in shedding light on what may be getting in the way of achieving wholeness, and wellness. Being able to begin this journey in an atmosphere of non-judgement and understanding can help recognize what you already know, and areas of necessary growth. I have experience with depression. anxiety, grief/loss, and trauma/PTSD. I am a seasoned clinician that has aided people over the years in attaining their mental health goals. I look forward to hearing from you. Be well!

You're on-edge and having trouble concentrating. You feel restless and unable to stop overthinking. Maybe you're wanting to isolate to protect your friends and family from your sadness and anger. It's hard to continue pretending that everything is fine when you are feeling so desperate inside. You want to feel heard, seen, and understood. You would love to figure out your anxiety or depression—where it might be coming from and how to make it stop (or at least not be so intense).
