I am a strong proponent of health-oriented and positive psychology that emphasizes what is right with people rather than what is wrong with them. My counseling work is based on the integrative approach to psychotherapy that is best characterized as going beyond and across the confines of any single orientation. I draw from different theories to form a comprehensive view of all the complexities of human conditions and emotions. The reason for this is because no one theory has all the answers that could effectively work with every individual and situation.

My cat will occasionally join our sessions, but don't worry, she will protect your confidentiality :).
I am passionate in working with BIPOC women experiencing depression, anxiety, trauma, and ADHD. Being an Asian woman with multinational background, I bring a unique perspective to my counseling practice. I understand the intricacies of cultural nuances and the courage it takes to seek support. This background gave me profound insight into the struggles faced by my underrepresented clients and fosters a deep sense of connection and understanding.

I see children with anxiety, depression, trauma, selective mutism, low self-esteem, Disruptive Mood Dysregulation Disorder.
Making the decision to help a child or teen who is struggling academically, behaviorally, socially and/or emotionally may be the most important decision you make. I see each child/teen as a puzzle. Sometimes the pieces fit together perfectly and other times it is necessary to work really hard to find the right piece to complete the puzzle. I use a variety of techniques - play therapy, sand therapy, cognitive-behavioral therapy. I believe that a child is part of a larger system, including parents, siblings, and schools. I strive to work with all aspects of a child's world.

Sometimes the reasons people seek therapy are hard to pinpoint or articulate. Other times the totally unexpected brings a person into therapy. Often it is the thing one least wants to discuss. The reasons are countless, but they always matter. They affect our thoughts and our relationships, often quite deeply. My purpose as a therapist is to develop a relationship and a context that feels restorative and safe through which my patients and I can grapple with any and all concerns imaginable. Through intimate conversation and our shared experience emerge feelings, buried fears, and the previously unknowable.

Welcome! I’m here to walk alongside you in your journey toward greater well-being. I work with adults experiencing wide-ranging challenges, with a particular focus on women navigating chronic health issues (like autoimmune diseases or PMDD), stress, burnout, anxiety, or neurodivergence (like ADHD and autism). From personal and clinical experience, I recognize you may feel like you can’t keep up, or like others don’t understand your experience in work, relationships, or daily life. You begin to question yourself or feel discouraged. But you are not alone, and it is possible to have more ease and self-understanding and appreciation.

I want to work with someone who wants to find balance and acceptance in a life of suffering and joy.

My work consists of a collaborative exploration of your needs and hopes in a supportive and culturally sensitive environment. Past and present life adversaries often shape the way we feel and interact. Examining our unhealthy patterns and incorperating our strengths in a trusting therapeutic relationship, can elicit experiences of personal growth, living a richer life and increasing our propensity for healthy and adaptive relationships. I work well with a range of psychological needs and concerns; anxiety, depression, adjustment difficulties, relationship issues, self - esteem, life changing events and trauma are some of the areas that I welcome in our exploration.

Adjusting to life and situational changes can be daunting, anxiety producing, and slightly depressing.
Life happens! At some point in our lives we are faced with challenges that effect us personally or professionally. Sometimes we have people we can talk to about these minor set backs. Other times, we wish there was someone we could talk to, honestly, about the most troubling aspects of our lives without fear of being judged. Having a supportive person in our lives who is objective makes a difference in getting through these "bumps in the road". This is, ideally, what a counselor or therapist is for.
