About My Clients
I’m most drawn to clients who sense that something deeper is going on beneath their anxiety or mood, even if they can’t name it yet. My best-fit clients are anxious, burnt out, or stuck in old patterns—people-pleasing, perfectionism, creative blocks, or repeating relationship dynamics. I especially enjoy supporting children of immigrants, creatives, and folks in spiritual or identity shifts who want more than quick fixes and are curious about deeper, long-term change.
My Background and Approach
I’m an Associate Marriage and Family Therapist (AMFT) working under licensed supervision, with training in depth-oriented psychodynamic therapy, ACT, mindfulness-based work, and somatic and parts-informed approaches. In practice, we explore the roots of your patterns *and* build tools you can actually use when you’re anxious, shut down, overwhelmed, or feelings old ways creeping up. I’ve worked with kids, teens, and adults navigating anxiety, perfectionism, people-pleasing, trauma, identity and spiritual questions, and complex family dynamics (including children of immigrants). My background and intersectional lens help me see you in context: not as a “disorder,” but as a whole person shaped by culture, history, and systems. Clients who work with me often say they feel both deeply understood and gently challenged. My goal is for you to leave therapy not just coping, but living in a way that feels more honest, grounded, and aligned with who you are.
My Personal Beliefs and Interests
I’m a therapist, but also a person who thinks a lot about meaning, justice, and what it means to live honestly in a messy world. I’m deeply influenced by Jungian depth work, Taoist philosophy, and existential writers like Camus and Viktor Frankl, who all in their own way say: life is absurd and beautiful, and what we do with it still matters. I care about liberation and dignity for all people. At the heart of my work is a simple belief: our individual and collective stories matter. When we’re truly seen and heard, and when we start to hold peaceful space for the parts of ourselves we’ve pushed down, something powerful shifts -not just in us, but in how we move through our world. Outside of therapy, I’m usually diving deep into the abstract, practicing wonder and awe, and being radically silly. I’m drawn to outsiders, bridge-walkers, and folks who want to live more creatively and courageously, even if they’re scared. If that’s you, you’ll probably feel at home with me.
