Using Emotionally Focused Therapy, a proven method for repairing and building relationships, I help couples learn how to use conflict and deeper emotions to build relationships, effectively communicate, and connect on a much deeper level.
I am passionate about helping couples strengthen their bond and feel comfortable & safe sharing their vulnerabilities. I work with individuals, couples, and First Responders experiencing relationship distress, anxiety, depression, or trauma. I have been married for over 30 years to a Lieutenant/Paramedic in the fire service, a mom of two grown children, and more than thirty years working in medical and Christian-based settings. I understand the impact a stressful career and busy lifestyle have on people and their relationships. When feeling stuck in life, we need people to believe in us. I want to be that person that person for you!

As a second-generation Chinese/Korean immigrant, I intimately understand the experience of being “othered.” It’s from this deeply personal place that I developed a passion to support individuals and couples with marginalized and intersecting identities. I am committed to supporting clients with processing and healing from challenging experiences, strengthening a sense of identity, and cultivating self-compassion.

The thought of therapy can be confusing and maybe even a little intimidating. That’s why the root of therapy lies in the relationship between the client and therapist! No framework can replace the importance of a safe and collaborative relationship between a client and therapist. Together, we’ll foster an environment where you can rediscover your resilience, process your lived experiences, and work towards your goals. My true passion is working with couples and families as they navigate life’s challenges together. I specialize in supporting interracial and multicultural couples with communication and multicultural issues.

Accepting new clients as of 11/4/24. I believe you and your relationships are too important to put off therapy. Maybe it’s that reoccurring fight leaving you stuck, unseen, or feeling hopeless in your relationship? Or you are ready to address the anxiety, negative thoughts, or loss of motivation that's been accepted as your new normal. Maybe what previously worked feels dull in this season of life and you want to see and feel progress again. I utilize an integrative approach centered on evidence-based practices such as Emotionally Focused Therapy, ACT, Narrative, and others to help you accomplish your desired outcome in therapy

Too often, children are taught that large emotions should be smothered and/or hidden, leading to a future filled with conflict avoidance, difficulties with self-esteem, and a belief of not being able to have an influence in their own life. I am looking to help those who want a course-correction, who want to learn how to be able to set and enforce boundaries with friends, family, and strangers alike, and who want to believe that they deserve those things.

It can be challenging to feel like you're not progressing when you feel the weight of trauma, anxiety and depression. Sometimes we need a space to process thoughts, emotions and life experiences, and sometimes we need practical coping skills to make it through the day; oftentimes, we need a combination of both. My hope is to continue providing individuals with the space they need to feel heard, and the tools they need to feel self-aware and self-empowered.
