Your relationship has turned sour, leaving you heartbroken, confused, and emotionally drained. Maybe the relationship just ended, or maybe you’re stuck in the painful limbo of deciding whether to stay or go. You’re replaying conversations, second-guessing yourself, and feeling the ache of loneliness– even if you’re not alone.

The character of the therapist is an important factor in helping clients to change. I love my work and have a genuine respect for the people with whom I counsel.

Therapy can give you a space to speak freely and listen to yourself in new and different ways. Many people I see in my practice are young adult children of immigrant parents who experience painful conflicts within their family of origin that lead to separation, emotional distance, or even estrangement. I also work with individuals who want support with exploring sexuality and gender identity in a nonjudgmental, open and accepting space. I also work with couples who want to change frustrating patterns in their relationship As a psychodynamic and culturally aware therapist, I am curious about the deeper, unconscious meaning of your difficulties and where they might have originated, and the connections between your past and present experiences. Whether you are a couple or an individual, I can help you make sense of the chaos inside, create breathing space, a chance to finally let your guard down and speak your mind. I see the therapeutic relationship as a collaborative project between us, a creative exploration of your most important life questions. Deciding to see a therapist is a significant and courageous first step. I welcome you to call or email me to make a phone appointment, and we will talk more in depth about your unique situation and what you'd like to get out of therapy. I look forward to hearing from you.

Deciding what I wanted to be when I grew up was an easy choice. I always gravitated toward working with people and working on teams. I find that therapy is a team effort with an important goal in mind. As a therapist, I have grown accustomed to using cognitive behavioral frameworks in my practice, as well as utilizing concepts and techniques from dialectical behavior therapy and acceptance and commitment therapy, depending on client needs. I prefer getting a well-rounded perspective of clients, starting with an intake session and continuing to examine all domains of one’s life as a whole throughout the therapy process. Additionally, I am a Registered Art Therapist. Though art therapy is not the appropriate modality all the time, I often find that solutions can come when we open ourselves to creativity or just something new.

Brene Brown says: "If we really want to live a joyful, connected, and meaningful life, we must talk about things that get in the way.” For people who come from families of color, particularly Asian and Latinx families, talking about generational trauma is taboo. Your pain is valid. You do not have to ignore or forgive them, "because they're family." When we sit down for therapy, I am here to listen, empathize, and help you heal. Making that first call to a new therapist is scary. And telling a complete stranger all your deepest, darkest secrets to try and feel better can seem hopeless. I won't wave a magic wand to make your problems go away. What I will do is walk with you on your path to healing. It's easy to get lost on that path. Luckily, my experience and compassion are the GPS.
