I am a body-centered therapist who specializes in working with trauma and emotion instability/intensity—this includes interpersonal relationships, depression, anger & anxiety. With this approach, we can get to a deeper understanding of diagnosis like Bipolar, Borderline Personality Disorder, and adult ADHD. Therapy is a two-pong approach: the skills & tools to get you through the day-to-day; and psychodynamic work of getting to the root of the issues (trauma-informed lens). I combine DBT/CBT skills and tools, with EMDR and tenants of IFS to stabilize symptoms, make way for healing, and a deeper understanding & connection to self.
The majority of my work has been with veterans; those recovering from addiction; individuals & families struggling with personality disorders; and Asian-Americans (students, professionals, trailblazers, and couples).
My therapeutic approach is collaborative, and intentional. We do not just address the symptoms, we address the why. In order to do that, I invite a lot of curiosity and reflection. I empower clients in their healing process in and outside of the therapy room. Therapy should not be a recap of the week, sessions should build on top of one another.
