About My Clients

We are complex people requiring a blend of kindness, empathy, patience, flexibility, acceptance, and a healthy bond to others. How one achieves this in our work together will be dependent on you and me. I welcome individuals who like to work organically, discussing thoughts and feelings that arise in the moment; and individuals who prefer a more structured approach. I work with a wide-range of people, and specialize in working with Asian-Americans and the queer community.

My Background and Approach

I work from a relational foundation, being trained in psychodynamic psychoanalytic techniques. A blank, silent therapist I am not. I am very much present and alive in the room with you, engaging with you as one human to another human. It will be our goal to — collectively — not only address, but understand your specific difficulties; just as much as we will celebrate your successes, development, and growth together.
