My theoretical lens is primarily psychodynamic, but I incorporate multiple theoretical perspectives, including attachment, trauma, feminist and evidence-based practice interventions.
I entered the field of clinical social work to become an advocate and supporter of mental well being and whole health improvement with a framework of social justice supporting all work I do. Honoring this foundation in my practice, I treat all clients with respect, compassion, curiosity and an open mind. My collaborative approach, flexibility in practice, sense of humor and my relaxed therapeutic environment foster positive clinical relationships while giving respect to all aspects of diversity and need.

My approach is grounded in psychodynamic theory, but I often draw from other modalities like accelerated experiential dynamic psychotherapy (AEDP), mindfulness, dialectical behavioral therapy (DBT), and feminist therapy.
As a therapist, I enjoy watching my clients grow in compassion for themselves as they move towards more fulfilling lives. I find myself deeply privileged to witness my client’s journeys and am inspired by their resilience. I work with clients on issues of emerging adulthood, identity, race, acculturation, issues around one's sense of self, complex trauma, and emotion regulation.

I offer a holistic approach, drawing from diverse methodologies like CBT, IFS, and feminist theories.
You might often feel misunderstood or marginalized because of your cultural background, identity, or life experiences. Perhaps you're dealing with trauma, anxiety, depression, substance use, significant life transitions, loss, or relationship challenges. You're looking for a safe, inclusive, and supportive space where you can explore your inner world, find meaning, and begin to heal. You want to feel more connected to yourself and move towards a life that truly reflects who you are. As you embark on this journey of healing and self-discovery, I’m here to support you, helping you navigate the waves of meaningful transformation.

I am a queer intersectional- feminist therapist.
Healing is Collective: Healing from trauma and making meaning for ourselves is a unique process. I’m here to help. My philosophy is that we heal creatively and my work is centered around walking with my clients down their own paths towards liberation. It helps to talk. It helps to make art. It helps to share the burden. My style is conversational, empathic, and feminist because we are contained within the context of our society, our history, our upbringing, and our identity. Therapy can be that place to do your healing work and grow authentically.

My approach draws from Feminist and Relational Theories that addresses the capitalism and oppressive world we exist in.
Hello! Thank you for your time and interest in my work! My name is Sam. I'm a first generation queer Asian American practicing as a licensed mental health counselor for 8 years. I could bore you with my educational and professional credentials, but I'd like to tell you more about me. Beyond the therapy room, I am someone who thinks deeply about my role in relationships and interpersonal dynamics. I'm also someone who dives into art projects and will likely have an unfinished project in a corner!

As a 1st generation Iranian-American, queer- feminist art therapist, I understand that experience.
You are creative, intelligent, and inquisitive, but feel like you’ve been left to figure life out on your own. You’ve been shamed for your sensitivity and depth of emotion and treated as the odd one out. Early on, you learned to hide parts of yourself to be accepted, connected, and loved. While on some level, this helps you survive, it also leaves you feeling exhausted, depressed, and anxious. You struggle to achieve things that seem to come easily to others, and while you’re trying everything in your power to move forward, you don’t know how to trust yourself or your decisions. You wonder what’s wrong with you?

I am a Feminist Experiential Depth psychotherapist. I specialize in trauma resolution, attachment wounds, identity, grief support, and coming into one's own. I support my clients in an “individuation of the heart, that opens one to qualities of life and levels of consciousness previously unknown.” My life’s work is to midwife the unborn in the born—to continuously birth new expressions of Self that are authentic, integrated, and empowered. The “midwifery tools” I work with to facilitate this “birth after birth” are: Somatic Experiencing, Internal Family Systems, Feminist Therapy, Depth Psychology, and Interpersonal Neurobiology.

Waitlist for new clients
I integrate feminist and multicultural approaches, and strive to help explore the impacts of oppression, privilege, and societal expectations, on mental health.
I work with adults who want to address anxiety disorders, past trauma, and interpersonal/attachment concerns. My therapeutic approach is catered for each client. For those with anxiety, I use evidence-based approaches, including cognitive behavioral therapy (CBT) and exposure and response prevention (ERP) to help my clients learn about the intersections between thoughts, feelings, and behaviors. Much of therapy includes learning and trying out new ways of thinking, utilizing coping skills that emphasize regulating your nervous system, and safely exposing yourself to anxiety-provoking things in order to overcome your fears.

I primarily draw from person-centered, feminist, trauma-informed, narrative, and IFS approaches.
Engaging in therapy can feel really vulnerable - it's so important to feel like you "click" with your therapist. I focus on developing relationships with clients that are empathic, collaborative, and reflective, so that clients can feel comfortable, heard, and understood in exploring their concerns and goals. I’m committed to recognizing and affirming each client's individuality and intersecting identities - and to supporting individuals in the LGBTQ+ and CNM communities, college students, and people who are working towards personal growth or enhanced self-awareness.

Transitions are triggers, and when you are in the midst of a major life transition, it is easy to lose yourself. As a parent, you may struggle to balance your own needs with the demands of parenting. Women's issues, such as gender roles and expectations, can add an extra layer of complexity. How do you cope when others are asking for so much from you?

Are you struggling with an anxious or low mood right now? Or struggling with a goal in your personal or professional life? As women, our lives are not often neatly compartmentalized - our work influences our personal lives, and our personal lives influences our work. My work focuses on helping women thrive as they navigate the unique complexities of their lives.
