About Me

Hello! I’m so glad you found your way here. One thing I believe about therapy: It’s important that you find the best therapist for YOU. That means this might be me or it might be someone else. Only you have the right to make that determination. So, with that in mind, here is a little bit about me and my philosophy regarding therapy: 

 I identify as a queer, Asian American, cisgender woman. I approach therapy from a non-religious standpoint, but have a deep interest in how religion impacts people, including ways that it can act as a source of trauma, while also acknowledging that it can be a source of support. I believe identity is a critical part of self-understanding and healing. For this reason, I enjoy working with folks who are looking to explore their identities which might include sexuality, gender, race, religion, physical and mental ability, and roles in society. I am cognizant that our identities shape our personal and lived experiences in the world, which means that they continually impact how and what we need to heal.

 I am LGBTQ+ affirming, sex positive, recognize that relationships come in many forms including both monogamous and consensual non-monogamous structures, and firmly believe that Black lives matter. I am also neurodivergent affirming and work with autistic folks and those that have ADHD. 

 Therapy is a process, a journey, and an exercise in self-discovery. It is not a solution to a problem, but rather acts as a piece of the puzzle in finding healing and wholeness. My job as a therapist is to give you a safe space to be seen and known, to ask hard questions, and accompany you to find answers. Therapy is a partnership, and if we determine I am the right person, for now, to walk along with you, I consider it a true privilege. 

 If you have any specific questions about my practice please do not hesitate to reach out to me via the contact form below. I am happy to offer a phone consult to see if you feel I would be a good fit for your needs.

 Areas of Interest: Depression, anxiety, trauma (general, sexual, religious), sex and sexuality, LGBTQ+ and gender identities, relationships (including polyamory/consensual non-monogamy), spirituality/religion, race and racial identity, neurodivergence – specifically autism and ADHD

 Therapeutic Modalities: While I do not specifically subscribe to any one theory or mode of therapy, here are some that I draw upon: Person-Centered Therapy, Internal Family Systems, Acceptance and Commitment Therapy, Mindfulness-based practices, Interpersonal Neurobiology, Attachment Theory, and various psychodynamic approaches. I am also EMDR trained.
