You might not realize it yet but you know yourself better than anyone else. What I have found in my personal and professional experience is that the more connected and compassionate we are with ourselves, the more connected and compassionate we are to our surroundings. I am a Brown, queer, gender non-conforming, immigrant, psychotherapist. I practice from an anti-oppressive lens that acknowledges the impact of the many systems we navigate under everyday. Naming the impact along with an exploration of the self, can lead us to a deeper understanding of ourselves and our humanity.

When life gets consumed by anxiety, addiction, depression, jealousy, frustration, or anger, navigation can be difficult. You’ve started feeling so bad that your relationships, work, and daily life are impaired, your best efforts show no long-term success. As a clinical psychologist, extensively trained in Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, I have seen countless clients improve over the years with these techniques. Clients have been able to meet their goals with anxiety, anger management, addiction, weight, depression, loneliness, relationships, attention concerns, career challenges, obsessions, and compulsions.

Whether you are new to therapy or continuing therapy and looking for a new counselor, I understand that transitions are difficult and being vulnerable can take a tremendous amount of courage. I hope to offer you the space where you can feel safe and supported during this transition. I believe that everyone has the opportunity for growth and that we all have the potential to live meaningful, happy lives if we let ourselves. Together, we can explore the challenges that you are facing, and I will provide you with the emotional support and encouragement that is sometimes needed to create positive change.

We have all acquired ways of coping that get in the way of our development, and manifest as emotional pain, such as anxiety and depression. I work with clients to identify and reduce these painful symptoms. Clients are then freer to use their energy in pursuit of their goals. In my private practice, I work with young, midlife, and older adults. I develop a safe and collaborative relationship with clients. In that context, I do short and long-term psychotherapy and train clients to use specific protocols to modify symptoms that are in the way of personal and professional functioning.

Are you struggling with barriers (whether past or present) to creating the life you want? Have you been talking to therapists over the years with little change? Or have the feeling that your words are covering over rather than opening up? I work with adults from an expressive point of view. My focus is on helping you to find a sense of order and meaning from inner chaos. Together we will explore what has gone on in your life, where you want to go, and what is keeping you from doing this with ease. I welcome the opportunity to accompany you, support, and respectfully witness your process.

Do you feel that life could be more joyful, more meaningful, more productive, more balanced - but don’t know how to access this elusive "more"? You may have had a hard time finding your footing after a big life event or transition. It's common to struggle with identifying and communicating about what you think, feel, want and need. You may feel disconnected from friends and family and don't know how to ask for or accept help. The more we try to cover up what we're struggling with, the more we feel alone and fear being "exposed." This can cause us to feel inauthentic, awkward or ashamed and we may experience anxiety and depression.

Great psychotherapy doesn't require spending years on the couch. Our contemporary, action-oriented approach means we'll roll up our sleeves and get right to work, giving you meaningful, relevant input you can put to use in making changes today.

Life is a continuous process. Maybe it is a process of relationship struggle or life transition. We may feel anxious and stuck in repetitive patterns and find it difficult to pinpoint the reason. Partnering with me, we will pay close attention to your physical sensations, embodied emotions, and internal world. My immigrant background helps me attune with BIPOC communities, especially with Asian-Americans and international students. We can use a combination of art and talk to work through anxiety, trauma, cross-cultural adjustment, low self-esteem, being a people-pleaser, or perfectionist tendency.

My goal is to create a safe, non-judgmental, and empowering space for people to explore the depths of their emotions, thoughts and feelings. Using supportive reflection and a strengths-based perspective, I approach each situation with empathy.

The world can be a complicated, confusing, and really overwhelming place, and we all develop our own ways of coping. Sometimes we reach a point where we realize some of our strategies need to change. I strongly believe that removing the shame and stigma associated with certain coping mechanisms and behaviors is integral to adjusting them. I work with clients to identify, and have compassion for, why they enact certain responses, behaviors, and patterns, and develop new ones that meet their current needs and desires.
