About My Clients

I work with adults and undergraduate/graduate students who present with issues related to trauma, anxiety, depression, relationships, mixed-race identity development, peripartum experiences/pregnancy loss, and existential concerns.

My Background and Approach

I value a holistic perspective when treating psychological issues and offer therapy that creates constructive and meaningful change. My goal is to help you explore deeply engrained neuropathways and ways of coping that might not be as helpful anymore in order for you to have a stronger sense of agency in all aspects of your life. I prioritize collaboration with clients in exploring unconscious and procedurally-based patterns that occur in relationship with self and others. I work primarily from a contemporary psychodynamic lens and utilize a wide range of techniques including Internal Family Systems, psychedelic integration, Dialectical Behavioral Therapy, interpersonal/relational therapy, Self psychology, and Motivational Interviewing.

My Personal Beliefs and Interests

I am a cisgender woman currently residing on the stolen homelands of the Arapaho and Cheyenne, colonially known as Colorado. I identify as haafu and Japanese-American and I unjustly benefit from my East Asian heritage and proximity to whiteness, as someone who is able-bodied, and with financial and educational access. My sun and moon are in Cancer. I am passionate about matters of identity, race, culture, intergenerational trauma+resilience, and social justice.
