I work with clients who exhibit a range of needs. Whether you are struggling with symptoms of depression, anxiety, grief and loss, ADHD, OCD, substance use or another "disorder" that is causing you distress, we can work together to help ease your symptoms. I have worked closely with the perinatal community and have extensive knowledge of the postpartum experience.
I work with folks from all walks of life who are looking to build (or re-build) their connection to themselves and others. My clients often struggle with anxiety, people-pleasing, self-worth, perfectionism, dysfunctional family dynamics, relationship issues, and exploring their identities. I work within an intersectional perspective to cultivate a space that is inclusive and welcoming to all so my clients can feel safe to embrace vulnerability and explore themselves deeply.
I often see driven professionals in high-pressure environments. Many of my clients are men, trying therapy for the first time or continuing work they've already started. Clients generally come to see me to work through stress, anxiety (especially social anxiety), depression, life transitions and trauma. I'm also thoroughly trained and passionate about working with the broader LGBTQ+ population.
The decision to start therapy is a powerful first step in addressing areas of your life you’d like to explore. While our work together will be tailored to your specific needs, my areas of experience include, but aren’t limited to addressing symptoms of anxiety & depression, life transitions, emotional expression, career difficulties & stress, communication skills, intimacy, peer relationships, self esteem, family dynamics, self worth and acceptance.

Are you tired of traditional talk therapy? Overwhelmed with feelings of anxiety, or fear and panic? You might be suffering from the trauma of an abusive or neglectful childhood (developmental trauma). Or, as an adult, from the shock of recent or acute, traumatic events. I specialize in treating trauma, anxiety, low self-esteem, and life transitions.

Life is full of challenges and obstacles. Sometimes they leave us with pieces to put back together, worries about the future, scattered thoughts, and broken dreams.

I'm here to travel with you--challenging, cheering, and celebrating you on along the way. You got this!

You're a people-pleaser, late-bloomer, self-explorer, or someone who values your inner life and wants to dive deeper. Adults who are creative, curious, and compassionate but struggle to apply those strengths to themselves consider me a good fit, as do those who crave relationships but find them to be more trouble than they're worth.

Are you feeling overwhelmed by life? Do you find yourself feeling different emotions and not knowing why? Are you struggling with issues in your relationships? Often we may find ourselves playing out the same, unhelpful patterns in different areas of our lives. I strive to bring light into these areas and help you come to a better understanding of yourself. I also work with you to explore changes that will help you to live your authentic life and bring you into alignment with your truest self.
The individuals and couples I see are usually creative folks from a multitude of cultural backgrounds. I welcome all genders, races, sexual orientations, and/or relationship styles. Most are looking for greater self-actualization, and many struggle with anxiety, quality of relationships, intimacy, depression, history of trauma, familial conflict, creativity, life transitions, and career issues. I also enjoy working with parent/child dyads, siblings, even friends who seek help in relationship.
I thrive in my work with creative, high-achieving adults who are curious about how to foster a greater sense of self-compassion and self-esteem. My clients often step into therapy when they're experiencing stress or anxiety, are finding it difficult to cope with personal or professional burnout, or are struggling to show up fully and authentically in their relationships. Ultimately, my hope is that therapy becomes a collaborative space where you feel seen, valued, and supported.
In this increasingly “good vibes only” culture, do you feel that you need to hide parts of yourself in order to fit in or be included in the group? Do you feel like you’re either too much or not enough? Like you’re the black sheep in your family or with your friends? You may have been thrown into an adult role as a child, having to emotionally care for your parent or caregiver, at the expense of your own emotional development, growth, or even safety. If this sounds familiar, there is hope.

Feeling overwhelmed, exhausted, and depleted? Or perhaps your life is challenging you in ways that make it difficult to manage the day-to-day. Whether you're anxious and feeling a lack of control, or not feeling like yourself and finding that your life is lacking meaning and purpose, it's not too late to get the support you deserve. I'm here to provide a warm and supportive space where you can be your authentic self and feel heard and understood.
I help first-time therapy-seeking professional Asian Americans stop making lists of why they should be happy and go after the things that make them happy. You’re here because you don’t want to repeat your family’s trauma history. Maybe you have done some inner healing work on yourself, but still, feel like you need more guidance. Maybe you lived your whole life with the mindset of “It is what it is” and yet you can’t shake the tension in your chest and notice the conflict within yourself.
