Each day we awake, you have another chance at life. Of course, you can't control into what family you're born, your ethnicity, or your physical attributes; changing your past is beyond your control, too. However, you DO have control over how you respond to your past, and you CAN change the way you think and behave. Understanding yourself, how to approach relationships, and how to cope with life's challenges can be difficult especially if you're unsure of where to begin. I can meet you where you are and support you with empathy and unconditional positive regard. With collaboration, we can work together to help you meet your goals.

Hello! I've been practicing as a therapist for five years. I have significant experience using Family Based Treatment (FBT), the leading evidence-based treatment for adolescents with anorexia that can effectively treat other eating disorders as well. I also have ample experience in treating adolescents and young adults with eating disorders with more common modalities such as CBT and DBT. People with eating disorders often struggle with other things, such as trauma and anxiety. As a result, I've become competent in eye movement desensitization and reprocessing (EMDR), an evidence-based treatment for trauma and other stressors.

Welcome to Exposure Therapy Designs! We’re here to provide virtual EMDR (Eye Movement Desensitization Response), Cognitive Processing Therapy (CPT) or Prolonged Exposure (PE) for PTSD, and Exposure and Response Prevention (ERP) with Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) for OCD.

Using a multicultural perspective, I focus on understanding you as a whole person to inform and tailor a guided treatment plan that comprehensively addresses your concerns. My gentle, compassionate, curious approach fosters discovery and insights into how you perceive yourself, others, and the world and use these to be effective and successful throughout life's ups, downs, and in-betweens. I practice evidence-based therapies, which means treatments that are proven to work and improve your symptoms and whole mental health and wellness.

I offer a supportive atmosphere rich with self-discovery, humility, laughter, hope and common ground in the throes of daily challenges. I am especially interested in the areas of depression, anxiety, trauma, self-esteem, self-identity, transitions, relationship issues, and well beyond.

Have you lost your footing? I specialize in traumatic grief counseling and reducing the negative effects of traumatic events. Sudden losses can throw you off center. Unattended losses and past traumas can leave you feeling disconnected from the people you love. I use EMDR therapy to help people make sense of their past losses so they can live more joyfully in the present. A certified facilitator of The Daring Way, I use the research published by Dr. Brené Brown to help people brave connection and claim their sense of worthiness and belonging.

I am a licensed psychotherapist with degrees from Princeton University and the American School of Professional Psychology. I help adults who are suffering from issues such as depression, anxiety, relationship problems, addiction, car accidents, traumatic experiences, divorce/breakups, personal injuries, codependency and eating disorders. My specialty is EMDR therapy. If you suffer from PTSD, I can help you to reprocess recent or past trauma. Together we will work to get back behind the wheel, resolve that family conflict, overcome problematic relationships, recognize codependency, set boundaries, and heal.

Transition, trauma, and transformation are my specialties. Life transition, career transition, transition in relationships, racial trauma, the trauma of loss, sexual assault trauma, imposter syndrome, and personal transformation. Much comes with each and using the mind, body, soul connection I support you in finding healing, and a new sense of being. Healing is done in connection with others through embodied connection, awareness, and meaning or faith. Together through connection, you can bring healing into your life.

Do you feel disconnected from your partner? Are communication issues threatening your relationship? Or maybe you’re burdened with trauma or difficult life experiences? Does life feel hard? Have you tried to solve the problems in your life on your own and realized you need help from someone else? I know seeking help can be hard, but I'm so glad you have taken the courageous step of reaching out.

Welcome! I can support children, teenagers & adults with PTSD, anxiety & depression along w/couples who want to be on the same page. I have unique experience with the active & veteran military population & medical personnel. Because I am of Southeast Asian descent, I believe culture is an important layer to our identity.

Recent and past trauma, the loss of a loved one, stress, and strong emotions can be too much to manage. Life can be very overwhelming and there is hope.

The search for a therapist often begins at the point when the pain and struggle outweigh the capacity to cope on your own. Whether the search for a therapist is for yourself or your child, to work on a specific challenge or to work through years of challenges, finding relief from the pain and struggle and a path for growth is often the end goal. My intention is to function as a compassionate guide to find the answers within you, perhaps buried under stress and trauma responses which allowed you to survive to this point in your journey.

Do you always feel on edge? Did something traumatic happen? Trauma is a disruption to the nervous system that often creates patterns and loops that extend into many areas of a person's life. It can affect our bodies, our minds and the way we relate to other people. Sometimes the way people survive their trauma brings them more pain, adds to the chaos, and reinforces negative beliefs that perpetuate the cycle as well as causing other mental health issues grow- such as depression and anxiety. I work with people of various cultures, sexual orientations, and gender identities and know that trauma is non-discriminatory.
