I use a trauma-informed lens and draw on a variety of approaches, including mindfulness, EMDR (Eye movement desensitization and reprocessing), CBT ( Cognitive behavioral therapy), DBT (Dialectical behavioral therapy), somatic (body centered) approaches and art therapy.
Therapy supports our innate ability to heal, grow, deepen relationships and make meaning of our lives. My approach is warm, nonjudgmental, and meets you where you are. I specialize in working with trauma, anxiety, depression, grief and loss, and with those navigating life transitions. With 10+ years of experience, I am attuned to the ways our intersecting identities shape our work together. I welcome diversity and believe that therapy can support individual goals and deconstruct systems of oppression. Collaboratively, we'll draw on your unique strengths, develop practical tools and work towards the change you envision.

Using cognitive, dialectical, self-compassion, and solution focused approaches we'll work to gain perspective, stability, and forward motion on goals and relationships.
Wrestling depression, anxiety, relationship problems, work stress or alcohol and drugs? Do others see you're at odds with yourself or your circumstances? Are inner conflict, harsh self-criticism, rigid thinking, and refusal to accept yourself blocking a life you want? Therapy doesn't need to last years nor require endless focus on the past. You can decide what to work on and have a say in the direction of that work. There are solutions for what's happening, and sometimes just seeing and keeping focused on these brings change without attention to much else. At other times it's more complicated. Give yourself room to explore.

I also utilize EMDR and cognitive behavioral therapy to re-configure a "problem" into a "solution.
As a psychologist, I provide a bridge between traditional psychotherapy and alternative modalities, in a highly individualized approach.Hypnotherapy integrated with psychotherapy can effectively reduce stress and anxiety, while resolving issues of relationships, career, health, or self-development. Hypnosis is a natural way to empower you to "change your brain." Release negative beliefs, shift self-defeating habits to life enhancing ones, discover your "source self" and utilize creative inner resources that you may not even be aware you have.

I incorporate the use of both CBT and DBT skills and view all of this through a trauma informed lens.
I have been working or volunteering with adolescents and adults for the past 25 years. In my most recent position as group psychotherapist/treatment coordinator in an adolescent partial hospitalization program, I have provided individual, group, and family therapy for teens struggling with an array of mental health challenges. These include depression, anxiety, chronic suicidal ideation, self-harming behaviors, PTSD, family strain, and self-esteem issues. My work with adults has centered around many of the issues mentioned above, as well as life transitions, marital conflict, loss, and parenting.

My passion for partnering with others to experience the highest quality of life possible is what motivates my work as a clinician. In doing so, my hope is to support clients on breaking away from unhealthy patterns of thinking and behavior, while replacing them with uplifting ones that lead to more functional, satisfying existences. Exploring the causes of dysfunctional conduct is a major part of the healing process, which includes working through trauma, to rightfully expose it, and move from victim to survivor. I mostly utilize Rogerian, biblical, cognitive/dialectical behavioral, and motivational interviewing treatments.

I integrate evidence based therapies ( CBT, ACT, DBT, mindfulness), tailoring the therapy to fit your needs.
I am a Bay Area-based Asian American clinical psychologist with a passion for working with adult children of immigrants, people of color, and historically marginalized folks. Many clients express struggling with perfectionism, people pleasing, self-criticism, and worry that they will never be "enough." There may be parts of themselves they feel unable to explore or express, and worry that these parts may not be understood or supported by others. Many may be navigating intergenerational trauma, and relationship issues with their family of origin or romantic relationships.

My approach is grounded in a relational psychodynamic perspective, and I utilize cognitive behavioral, family systems, humanistic, transpersonal, social justice, and mindfulness strategies to help my clients find ways to cope with their suffering.
I enjoy working with children and adults to help them find grounded ways of being with and moving through the struggles they face. I believe that strong relationships, with the self, the body, and with others, are central to a healthy lifestyle. Painful life experiences, transitions, trauma, anxiety, and depression are opportunities for growth, and helping people move through these challenges is incredibly rewarding. I love working with people of diverse sociocultural backgrounds and exploring how culture shapes experience. A deep understanding of development allows me to connect with people of all ages and help them move through difficult stages.

I use evidence-based approaches including cognitive behavioral (basically, becoming aware of negative thought patterns and shifting them), and Acceptance and Commitment Therapy.
You feel like something is off but you're not exactly sure why. Your mind races and you feel stressed most of the time. You have a hard time slowing down and feeling connected with yourself as well as other people in your life. These statements describe the experience of many clients that I work with. I specialize in helping people who feel anxious, disconnected, or just "off." If you experience general anxiety, panic attacks, agitation, or disconnection from yourself or others, then I may be able to help you feel less alone and more settled in your life.

I draw from multiple therapeutic modalities, including attachment- and emotion-focused therapies, Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, and mindfulness.
You need to talk, and I'm here to listen. But listening isn’t all that I’ll do. I collaborate with clients in a dynamic process of exploration and discovery. I will ask you thought-provoking questions, invite you to consider new perspectives, and engage you in a conversation that will promote insight and growth. I believe an authentic, trusting therapeutic relationship is the foundation for healing. My style is warm, direct, and collaborative. I may challenge you to “try on” a different way of thinking or to break free from an entrenched pattern of behavior, but I will always lead with compassion and respect.

CBT and Solution-Focused therapies are also utilized.
I offer a comforting and reassuring space where people can communicate openly and honestly about their current or past situations of concern. Trust and safety in the therapeutic experience are the on-ramps to self-exploration, discovery of strengths, and healing. Through supportive listening, validation, and compassion, great strides can be made in clearing obstacles. Navigating relationship challenges can be difficult as well but by learning and examining one's communication style, stresses of all kinds can begin to see relief.

I hold space to process through childhood abuse and other adverse childhood experiences, to explore on a deeper level how one's childhood impacts present day.

As an adult child-survivor, I hold a deep passion for those who have made the vulnerable choice to heal from the pains of their childhood. One chapter at a time.
