Do you feel like life is getting to be too much to handle? Are you and your partner getting stuck arguing in circles? Feel like there’s no resolve? Maybe work, school, kids, or a relationship is taking up all that you have to give...but what about you? Oftentimes we stretch ourselves thin meeting the necessary demands of life. We end up neglecting our own needs and put our emotional wellbeing on the back burner. It all begins to pile up and affect our mood, our relationships, and world around us.

I believe that the therapeutic relationship is a core part of engaging in healthy life changes, therefore, choosing a therapist you feel is a good fit for you is key.
The motivation to seek therapy can come at many different times and stages in one's life- whether it be to explore a deeper understanding of oneself, discovering ways to resolve relationship conflicts, or wanting stability or change. Whether your concern is situational, temporary or persistent, it often compromises your life quality one way or another, therefore, seeking help can be healing and beneficial.

I believe the role of a therapist is to help create positive change by collaborating in a non-judgmental and mutual relationship. I endeavor to help my clients develop self-awareness and achieve their potential, enabling them to find their own answers and make transformative changes. I sensitively deal with individual and systematic/cultural influences to ensure clients’ goals and actions are manageable, realistic, and sustainable. For me, recognizing everyone’s identity and experiences, and inclusion is crucial to implementing strategies and tools that allow each individual to thrive, and to feel appreciated, seen, and heard.

In my practice, I help teens and young adults transform their relationship with anxiety, enabling them to lead more functional and fulfilling lives. Clients who seek my support often feel overwhelmed by their emotions, stress, and are seeking better balance. Some may be highly sensitive, and experience emotion on a greater level, feel tired more easily, or are overwhelmed by their thoughts.

This work is so important to me and it begins with the strength of the therapeutic relationship.
Does life ever feel overwhelming, stressful, or suffocating? Are you feeling unheard, lost, or simply in need of understanding? If this resonates with you, welcome and I hope to get to know you! I strive to create a safe space for my clients that includes curiosity, non-judgment, and most importantly, unconditional positive regard. I believe growth comes from leaning into vulnerability and practicing acceptance of all our parts.

I believe that creating a safe relationship where you can feel heard and accepted is central to the healing process in therapy.
I would love to work with you towards healing and growth in your relationships and everyday life. Whether from life events, circumstances, relational difficulties, or a negative voice from within of ourselves, we can sometimes find ourselves stressed, anxious, depressed, burnt out, or having trouble living the way we wish we could. I work from a psychodynamic approach, which will explore your current pain and challenges, while also aiming to bring insight to present and past experiences that are contributing to pain and struggles.

As a Certified Sexual Addiction Therapist (CSAT), I hold extensive expertise in treating those affected by compulsive sexual behavior having gone through my own recovery journey from sex, porn, and relationship addiction.
As a Certified Sex Addiction Therapist (CSAT) and Certified Clinical Trauma Professional (CCTP) trained in IFS, I am absolutely passionate about helping those impacted by sexual integrity issues. I work with "addicted parts" using individual, couple, and group therapy modalities. I am quite aware of relational trauma that partners of sex, porn, and relationship addicts experience, and I compassionately work to guide addicted parts through isolating and shame-filled experiences. My role is to help reduce this shame and systematically get to the root of the addictive and compulsive behaviors that have led to intimacy disorder issues.

As a queer, second-generation, Asian-American, I believe that kindness and compassion are my natural orientation and I position myself accordingly as a therapist. I believe that we're all inherently enough no matter what we’ve learned from our childhood, what society has told us we are capable of, or who we think we should be to have self-worth and fulfilling relationships. I believe we're all capable of unlearning and learning, and giving ourselves the grace to do so. My clients typically struggle with depression, anxiety, life transitions, relational conflict, intimacy and trust, and childhood and intergenerational trauma.
