Do you and your partner struggle with communication issues, conflict or sexual issues that undermine your ability to have a fulfilling relationship? Do you long for deeper emotional and sexual intimacy? Do you and your partner feel like roommates? Do you feel defeated and frustrated about having the sort of connection and support that you crave? I support couples in creating their optimal relationship in which they feel fully known, loved, connected, and supported in being their best selves.
You are intelligent, kind & funny, yet you don't understand why but you keep ending up in the same struggle and you are sick of it. You are motivated and want better for yourself. You are often stuck in relationships where your needs aren't getting met. There are places that you are very successful and this confuses you even more because you don't know why you can't fix those other problem areas of your life. I look forward to helping you in those places you are stuck!! #youmatter
I understand that everyone sometimes encounters obstacles in their lives that seem insurmountable. My goal is to create a therapeutic environment that allows each client to reach their full potential. I will work with you to address your symptoms and help you to rediscover your inner strengths to deal more effectively with your life's challenges and to guide you in the development of new life skills.
I work with anyone looking to dig deep to heal their sense of self and their relationships. I work with individuals in therapy to identify the problematic thoughts, behaviors, and patterns that stem from our oldest and deepest attachment wounds. I work with couples and ENM partnerships from an attachment perspective - I help partners communicate in a deeper, more attuned way to promote closeness, understanding, and intimacy. I also love working with families that are working through conflict.
You might be feeling stuck in your relationships. You’re struggling to be vulnerable and fully present with not only loved ones, but with yourself. You’re falling into a repetitive cycle that leaves you feeling exhausted, frustrated, and alone. You’re ready to dig into your attachment history and start breaking down the shields that used to protect you, but are now a barrier to vulnerability. You know it's time to do the deep work and cultivate the self-acceptance and relationships you long for.

On your best days, you know that you’re an icon; but on your tough days you feel shame, loneliness, depression and self-criticism. And anxiety is basically part of your personality at this point. I’m here to remind you that YOU are not the problem. For real! The systems and social environments you have been in are the problem. I’m here to uproot those damaging beliefs that were put on you and in you and that continually get in the way of you remembering the iconic baddie you are. Let’s get unde
Feelings of inadequacy and never being enough are toxic cycles. They affect how you act in relationships, handle situations, and view the world. As a second-generation Asian American, I understand the impact of culture and family dynamics. Growing up, there may have been pressure to fit a certain mold. Now, you may find yourself struggling with boundaries and perfectionism. These are symptoms of intergenerational trauma which I specialize in, or they may stem from other areas of your life.
If you are looking for deep meaningful therapy sessions along with other aspects such as healthy eating, exercise, hobbies, relationships and time in nature I would be a great fit for you. I like to be clear with our goals and how therapy will work and I will guide you each step of the way.
The people who consult with me are folks who think outside the box in their relationships. I work primarily with non-monogamous/swinging/polyamorous and LGBTQIA+ folks, and am an expert in asking questions that help people see alternatives to the status quo. For many people, it's about finding what works for you, and then finding the confidence to stand up for the way you want to be--rather than learning more ways to conform or fit the mold society wants you to fit in.

My clients are caring, empathetic, and hardworking. They're also at the end of their rope and don't know what else to do to help themselves. I take a whole-person approach. Anxiety can layer on top of other emotions making it hard to get to the root causes and struggles. Sometimes folks have undiagnosed ADHD, and haven't had proper support or recognition for this other part of them. That's where I come in. I'll help you clear away the fog so what you love is at the center of your life.
I specialize in supporting members of the kink, non-monogamous, and/or LGBTQ+ communities whose concerns include performance anxieties, desire discrepancies, infidelity, porn or substance use, and difficulty with effective communication. I also help straight-identified men understand and appreciate their attraction to trans women. My inclusive practice enthusiastically welcomes all sexual orientations, identities, kinks, relationship structures, and behaviors between consenting adults.
