About My Clients

I help people who feel anxiety and stress in relationships to feel less anxious. I know that the worry, frustration and confusion that we feel with those we care most about can feel overwhelming and can make thriving or just getting through the day much more difficult. It can also lead to unhelpful patterns with ourselves and others. Anxiety in relationships can be a real burden and I don't want you to suffer. Together we will work to get your satisfaction in relationships back.

My Background and Approach

I approach challenges and differences in a non-pathologizing way and bring a deep and genuine curiosity to the complexity intrinsic in modern life and relationships. I am warm, empathic, collaborative and direct. I have more than a decade of experience supporting a diverse range of clients aged 5 to 72 through challenges including burnout, 'stuckness', anxiety, depression, substance abuse concerns, ADHD, behavioral addictions, intimacy, relationship and sexual obstacles, current or past family challenges as well as life and work transitions. I am well versed in supporting clients to explore their relationships, culture, sexuality, and gender identity and expression. If these questions are not pressing I offer a nonjudgemental presence to address what feels important. I am comfortable taking an active role and letting you know what I think and I am equally comfortable letting you feel your way.

My Values as a Therapist

I believe that going to therapy takes courage. I believe that everyone has within them the possibility to grow and experience satisfaction in their lives and relationships. Collaboration, curiosity and compassion are a few of my guiding principles in my therapy work and life. I have a passion for providing therapy to adults and adolescents in the LGBTQI+ communities. I am dedicated to serving and improving gender variant (trans/nonbinary) and cross cultural care and am both personally and professionally knowledgable and connected to the LGBTQI+ community. I have significant experience supporting Asian Americans and Black folks. Underlying my therapy practice is a dedication to understanding and interrupting intergenerational patterns of trauma.
