Hi, I’m Kelly. I am an associate marriage and family therapist (AMFT) based in CA. I’m a warm, compassionate, and an LGBTQIA affirmative therapist who enjoys working collaboratively with my clients to help them achieve their therapeutic goals. I specialize in working with women and couples to help them improve, empower, and help them achieve satisfying relationships.

I am a bilingual (English/Spanish) Licensed Professional Clinical Counselor who believes in working with clients of all backgrounds. I specialize in working with adults, teens, and children in the areas of educational counseling, college and career planning, stress management, anxiety, depression, and P.T.S.D.

Most of us go through difficult periods in our lives where we feel overwhelmed, alone, and confused. Sometimes, inevitable events in life, even happy ones, like starting a relationship, going off to college, or retirement, expose the wounds and memories from a recent or distant past that make the current situation painful and unbearable. While we survive those situations and adapt to the new realities of our circumstances, psychotherapy, specifically psychodynamic psychotherapy uses these moments as opportunities for a path for self-discovery and a chance to reevaluate our priorities and find meaning and purpose in our lives.

My passion is supporting clients wherever they may be on their healing journey. I have worked with children, teens, and adults of varying cultural backgrounds and identities who have struggled with anxiety, depression, relational issues, trauma and grief/loss. I believe that our upbringing greatly influences how we see and connect in the world, and can impact our behaviors and relationships with ourselves and others. Making intentional choices that most align with your authentic self can increase your ability to face future obstacles with confidence and feel a greater sense of peace throughout your daily life.

Feeling stuck? Overwhelmed and anxious? Burned out? Then it's time for you to feel empowered and prepared to navigate any challenge. If you want tools in your toolbox and the ability to approach situations with confidence, then I am here to support you. I come from a trauma informed lens and I draw from a myriad of different types of therapy to create a customized approach. My goal is to will provide you with the most effective coping strategies and help you feel equipped to manage life's curve balls. Also if you're an early bird and prefer to do sessions first thing in the morning, I'm the provider for you!

Has your child been to multiple therapists with minimal results? Are you seeking accommodations for school or standardized tests? Do you want a clear diagnosis before starting medication? Psychological testing is the most thorough and efficient way to understand behavior, emotions, and thinking. Pre-school age to adult, psychological testing provides clarity that allows therapists, psychiatrists, teachers, and parents to intervene most strategically on behalf of your child. Whether it is ADHD, autism, anxiety, mood disorders, giftedness or learning disabilities, clear diagnoses and recommendations make everything work better.

When you are depressed or anxious, you feel like life is passing you by and you are powerless to grab it, not to mention be on top of and enjoy it. My passion is to help people deal with their emotional pain caused by various kinds of issues, including family of origin, interpersonal problems, low self-esteem, loss of loved ones, trauma, life transitions and etc. In general, I aim to help my clients improve their mood, feel empowered to handle difficult situations in life, and thrive in relationships.

One of my greatest passions is helping couples in intercultural relationships. I speak English, Mandarin and Taiwanese. I've been in practice for 19 years. I use primarily Cognitive Behavioral Therapy and Dr. John Gottman's research methods to help clients who struggle with communication, intimacy, various mood disorders, grief/bereavement Issues, acculturation problems (difficulties adjusting to American mainstream culture), recovery Issues (codependency, alcoholism, food addiction, substance abuse, issues relating to family of origin, etc.), and difficulty with life transitions/changes.

Welcome! I am a psychotherapist striving to deliver high-quality therapy that is holistic and tailored to you. My priority is providing a safe and comfortable therapeutic relationship. This foundation is the groundwork that allows my clients to take risks in therapy and discuss what is really getting in the way of the life they want to lead. Therapy with me means going beyond the surface of thoughts and behaviors to access underlying emotions that are often at the root of feeling stuck. As an attachment-based therapist, I help my clients explore their relationships and their emotional and behavioral patterns.

As LMFT, Certified EMDR therapist and certified Anger Management specialist, my focus and passion is to work with both couples to create and maintain a healthy relationship and help individuals develop healthier ways to express and manage their anger. In couples and marriage counseling, I help couples overcome their differences and handle their conflicts and seek better ways to communicate, develop deeper intimacy, and experience joy in each other. Clients struggling with anger and stress related problems, I teach and process the necessary skills needed to express anger in healthier ways.

I have been fortunate to have had ample opportunities to work with a variety of populations in my individual, couples, group, and family work. These experiences have been bolstered by my work with people from a wide diaspora of backgrounds in academia over the last 7+ years. My approach is collaborative in nature and I bring a mix of hope, encouragement, humor, and earnestness to this critical work to help others heal.

I utilized a variety of techniques that are based in both Interpersonal and person-centered psychology, for me this means that we will work from the perspective that each individual has the answers they need. We will utilize Solution-Focused Therapy and Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (among others as needed). I also practice trauma-informed treatment. I have experience working with all ages and groups of people with a variety of concerns. Additionally, I have experience working with those in crisis, struggling with eating disorders, mood disorders, relational issues, maladaptive coping skills, addiction, and life adjustment disorders.
