I offer a humanistic approach to counseling.
The general goals for the client are to identify issues, develop a plan of action, and implement that plan. This is a very personal process. It is educational and developmental by nature. Cures are not immediate, pain-free, or instant by nature, but may require diligent effort and candid exploration. This process often involves experiencing ‘unpleasant’ feelings as part of the counseling process within and outside of scheduled sessions. If you are looking for deep and transformative healing work, I welcome you to explore further. NEW and INTAKE clients please contact me via email - thank you!

I pull from various treatment modalities including Humanistic, Acceptance Commitment, Cognitive Behavioral, Dialectical Behavioral, Strengths-Based, and Solution-Focused Therapy.
Trauma is a catalyst that can either bind us in grief or propel us toward greatness. By accepting what cannot be changed and learning how to properly cope with what is, we can all live a life we envision. In my experience as a therapist, I have noticed the impact grief, loss and trauma can have on an individual's psyche. With that being said, I have also noticed- and have profound appreciation for- the innate resilience evidenced in the healing process. For the past 10 years, I’ve worked tirelessly in community mental health, school based and psychiatric sites where I provided individual, family, and group therapy.

We live in a world where demands for our time, attention, energy, and effort have never been greater. Feelings of stress, anxiety, and depression often arise when we are unable to manage these demands effectively. As a licensed clinical psychologist I have been treating adults of all ages with stress, anxiety, and depression for 22 years with a combination of cognitive-behavioral, humanistic and Eastern techniques, including meditation and mindfulness training. I also use science-based information to address how factors like diet, exercise, sleep, cell phone/tech use and other lifestyle habits affect mental health and well-being.

I take humanistic and feminist approaches to counseling, which acknowledge the client as the expert in their own lives.
As a Queer, adopted Asian American, I’m passionate about working with fellow members of the LGBTQIA2S+ community and individuals impacted by adoption. My experiences as a domestic violence advocate and trauma/crisis intervention specialist for victims of violent crime have also cemented my passion for working with survivors of trauma from domestic and sexual violence, stalking and human trafficking. I believe the foundation for any successful counseling is based on a strong therapeutic relationship built on counseling pillars of trust, empathy, humor, and compassion.

I employ an integrative theoretical orientation with emphasis on humanistic psychology, psychodynamic, systems and neurodevelopmental theories.

I primarily utilize Cognitive Behavioral strategies but also rely on a Humanistic perspective, Dialectical Behavior Therapy influences, Internal Family Systems perspectives and have been trained in Trauma Focused Cognitive Behavioral Therapy.
It can be difficult to know if we are making the choices to live the life that we want for ourselves. Many people are questioning themselves and how they fit in the world. There's a point when we need to take inventory and review ourselves and our goals. Therapy can be a great tool to evaluate, recalculate and develop plans to reach your goals and the life that you want for yourself. I believe in meeting you where you are and starting your journey from there. I see my role as utilizing my experience and knowledge to help empower you as you make your way from where you are to where you want to be.

Have you ever stopped to wonder, what life could look like if we truly allowed ourselves to lean into the power of vulnerably discovering who we are and what we need to feel safe and whole in this world? What could our relationships with others look like? How would we see ourselves? What could we finally let go of? What new light could we step into? The clients that I work with are asking the same and finding their truest intentions for this life and looking for support as they navigate through it all.

Humanistic Therapists
How does humanistic therapy work?
One tenet of humanistic therapy is that people are good. The humanistic approach is concerned with a person’s ability to accept oneself. It likewise encourages a person to overcome self-criticism and self-defeating tendencies, as well as disapproval from others. This approach also emphasizes self-actualization and treating an individual as a whole person. A foundation of this therapy type: The patient is the expert in their life, and treatment often takes the individual’s lead.
Is humanistic therapy evidence-based?
Humanistic therapy is an evidence-based practice. Research has found that humanistic therapy can lead to significant improvement, and for some people it can be just as effective as other therapies, such as Cognitive behavioral therapy. The benefits of humanistic therapy are enduring.
How long does humanistic therapy last?
The goal of humanistic therapy is to understand a person’s day-to-day experiences. While sessions can be short-term and last over a few months, therapy can sometimes continue beyond that and last up to a year or more. And because patients learn the theory behind humanistic therapy during treatment, they can also practice its tenets throughout life after therapy sessions have been completed.
Is humanistic therapy effective?
According to research, many patients find success with humanistic therapy. Researchers note that the therapy is particularly useful in addressing poor self-esteem and self-sabotage, as well as improving conditions including anxiety and depression. Improvements in problem areas can be long standing, as individuals can continue working on themselves by using the tools they’ve learned during treatment.
