Are you struggling? Starting to think that depression or anxiety will never stop? I’m passionate about supporting folx who transcend “norms” through their unique experience.

Seeking therapy is a courageous step toward taking control of your life. Whether you’re dealing with a specific issue or simply looking for personal growth, therapy can be a transformative process. I love working with clients who are experiencing life transitions, dealing with relationship issues, processing racial or cultural identity (especially for the AAPI community), managing an ADHD diagnosis, or are stuck in a cycle of depressive thoughts and anxious feelings. I would be honored to walk alongside you on your journey to a more balanced, fulfilling life.

I enjoy working with clients who are struggling with life issues particularly anxiety, depression and trauma. Together, we examine areas of struggle or "stuckness" and identify new ways of being more engaged and effective in relationship with others and ourselves. Treatment modalities range from short-term brief, CBT, and problem-focused dynamic therapies to longer-term analytic work. For individuals seeking greater self-growth, I am a fully-trained and certified Jungian psychoanalyst and use dreams and active imagination to identify unconscious material that may lead an individual to a greater sense of life fulfillment and ultimately joy!

Society bombards us with expectations of how we should look, act, and feel in order to belong. We endlessly search for the next diet, workout routine, relationship, promotion, house, car, etc to fill this emptiness inside that's saying, "I'm not enough". We feel distant from our emotions, our bodies, and our true selves in this pursuit of external validation. This "not enough" feeling sits deeply below protective patterns that might appear as an eating disorder, body shame, substance abuse, toxic relationships, anxiety, depression, OCD, etc.
