After 25+ years of providing counseling I find my philosophy has grown simpler and more to the point.
Successful counseling is built on a positive and trusting relationship, much as successful living is dependent on trusting, healthy relationships. I bring a broad array of treatment tools to my work including gestalt, object relations and psychodynamic theory. Most importantly I bring myself; my heart, my humor, my understanding, knowledge and years of experience. I work with adults and children, couples and groups(this includes families).

The program I graduated from is psychodynamic based.
My ideal client is someone who is curious about themselves and the relationships they cultivate. They notice some patterns or triggers in their lives but they aren't sure where they stem from or how to work with them. Perhaps they have been to therapy before and are looking for a more relational approach with deeper insights.

My practice is currently full, please reach out you would like to be added to the waiting list (est. 1-2 months). I offer a compassionate, non-judgmental, therapeutic environment where my clients can feel welcome and safe. As a psychodynamic therapist, I believe that healing can happen through accessing the realm of the unconscious. This process of exploring thoughts and images can be daunting, but also immensely satisfying and life changing.

Clients may become more calm, confident, and present focused through a uniquely created treatment plan including mindfulness, creative self expression, evidence based practices, Psychodynamic, Lifespan Integration, DBT, and Sand Therapy.
Are you tired of struggling to thrive in relationships with friends, family, and lovers? Are your emotions running your life? Interacting with others can be overwhelming when you have experienced trauma, grief, depression or anxiety. This can lead to coping through addictions or harmful behaviors. I believe we all have the capacity to change and that focusing on strengths can give clients a new outlook on life. Together, we can practice mindfulness, reflection, and positive coping skills. I collaborate with clients to build positive experiences in a caring therapeutic relationship through talking, playing (children), and art.

Are you experiencing something that feels impossible to overcome and you are reaching out for the first time? Are you anxious about something or depressed and need someone to validate what you're feeling?

Types of treatment modalities that I utilize in session include, but are not limited to: DBT, CBT, MBT, Schema-Focused Therapy, and psychodynamic therapies through an existential-humanistic lens.
My therapeutic approach is tailored to adults who are currently experiencing depression, anxiety, emotion dysregulation, interpersonal deficits, and other issues regarding the self. I am a member of the LGBTQIA2S+ community and work well with the individualistic and affirmative fashions in which human beings choose to self-identify. As a licensed clinical social worker, I believe that the individual is part of system: the micro (familial), the mezzo (immediate community), and the macro (the world at large). I look forward to speaking with you.

I use a psychodynamic, emotionally-focused, and relational approach to support my clients.
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.

As a Licensed Professional Counselor, I specialize in working with young children (ages 3 - 8 years old) using psychodynamic play therapy.
Children and adults express themselves authentically when given the freedom to play with ideas and explore their internal worlds through symbols and stories. In our hurried lives, we don't often have the time or space to process feelings and experiences that get stuck inside and come out in ways we wish they wouldn't. Both children and adults can experience deep inner healing while exploring this process in connection with a caring professional. I work with young children and their parents to increase connection and build trust using play, empathic communication, and mindful compassion and validation.

These include narrative, existential, psychodynamic, DBT, ACT, CBT and more.
As a therapist and a person, I value authenticity over “perfection,” and I value honest conflict over dishonest harmony. For this reason, I particularly enjoy working with individuals who are interested in uncovering their truth. There are so many reasons why people may lose connection to themselves, their own needs, goals, and strengths. Whether that is due to mental illness, addiction, codependency, trauma, abuse, grief, conflicting societal pressures or rules, something else or all of the above, there is a way to work through it. You are not alone, and you are capable of the change you seek.
