Nobody’s childhood dream was to grow up and feel overwhelmed, alone, stuck or unworthy. I aim to help individuals heal from trauma-related issues such as anxiety, depression, and relationship/family issues. If you find yourself living without a navigation system to understand emotional terrain or trauma that impacts your well-being; you are not alone. All of us go through rough patches in our lives. My approach is specific to meet your unique needs in a safe and non-judgemental space. I specialize in working with unresolved childhood relational trauma. Our work together will look at the parts of yourself making up the whole but also quarry deep to the heart of the matter, understanding what blocks us from our peace of mind, self-love, and the life we desire. This will lead to positive lasting change so you can discover healthy patterns. Trained as both a psychotherapist and a nurse my approach offers a unique mind-body and somatic perspective. Aside from traditional talk therapy, I am trained in using Voice Dialogue, NARM, TF-CBT, dream work, Gestalt Therapy, and mindfulness. Reach out today for a free consultation.

We all feel lost from time to time, but there’s always light at the end of the tunnel. I’ve been through my own therapy as a young adult when I was stuck in a bout of anxiety and panic attacks due to childhood trauma. Throughout my years of working with traumatized individuals, I learned first-hand about how childhood trauma can have a strong impact on adulthood. I can help you address unresolved trauma, in order for you to find passion, connection, and purpose in your life. I’m passionate about working with different age groups, ethnic backgrounds, and sexual orientations. I use a humanistic approach to build strong therapeutic relationships with clients, an essential component to ensure the success of treatment. I draw from evidence-based approaches, such as CBT and mindfulness to help you manage anxiety and depression. I also provide LGBTQ+ affirmative therapy. I can help you overcome feelings of hopelessness, worry, fear, or overwhelm by creating an action plan tailored to your needs and goal. I also provide therapy in Mandarin Chinese.

Our life experiences can lead us to question our identity and purpose in the world we live in. This can lead us to anxiety, depression, and trauma. Do you want to improve how you face challenges, function in your relationships, and face overwhelming feelings? I place heavy importance on addressing trauma. Trauma disintegrates the parts that make up your whole self, which can leave aspects of who you are hidden from your awareness. Left unaddressed, anxiety and depression can worsen, which can rob you of the necessary connection that all human beings need to thrive. I aim to help you process unresolved trauma. I believe in a holistic, trauma-informed, and strengths-based approach to healing anxiety, depression, trauma, and addiction. I draw upon CBT, narrative and solution-focused therapy to create a safe space for you to share your story, heal difficult emotions, and transcend them in order to live your desired life. I have over 10 years of experience working with adults, couples, and families in various capacities. I can help you develop practical tools to regulate intense feelings, communicate effectively with others, and develop healthy boundaries. Feel free to book a free consultation.

I provide a “trauma-informed” approach by meeting you where you’re at, validating your experience, empowering breakthroughs to barriers that may be holding you back, and walking alongside as you gain valuable tools for success.

Do you feel life is restricting you from who you really want to be for yourself, your partner and/or your family? My primary goal in therapy is to help enhance your ability to make choices. Our ability to notice our cycles of interaction in our relationships can help us build trust in ourselves and enhance our commitments to ourselves and our loved ones. This, in turn, allows our choices to become "building blocks" toward lasting joy for each relationship creation of our choice. As a Certified Emotionally Focused Therapist, (EFT), I use Dr. Sue Johnson's attachment, empirically-based model to join my client's journey and better understand their relationship distress. Translating the "music" of the client's cycle of interaction through an attachment longing lens, promotes de-escalation and deepened engagement with partner and self. My niche is in helping individuals, couples and families both inside and outside my own faith-based religious practice. I also offer telehealth services for those who reside in California as well as in person sessions. Come join me as I welcome you to the world of Emotionally Focused Therapy!

Many of us move through life wishing for bright days and glowing nights that flow with comfort and ease. Yet, achieving even a moment of balance in mind, body, and spirit often remains elusive. Life may throw us off, placing challenging blocks in our path. I endeavor to bring a gentle curiosity to the therapy space we co-create. My approach to the work of therapy is depth oriented, emotion focused and client driven. Our time together is likely to involve facilitated contemplative exploration, experiential intervention and an ongoing summoning of creativity in the service of generating a life more reflective of your authentic self. I'm a "well-seasoned" cis-gender woman and mother to a neurodivergent teen. I am a queer, neurodivergent, disabled therapist, deeply rooted in holistic and anti-oppressive ideologies. I am passionate about working with members of these communities as well as young adults and others who seek to experience more peace in their lives. With extensive experience working with college students, the LGBTQIA community, and neurodivergent people, I find I resonate deeply with other therapists, healers, artists, and creatives.
