I primarily work with 2SLGBTQIA+ communities focusing on identity exploration and experiences of anxiety, depression, and trauma. As a queer and genderfluid parent, I am passionate about supporting pregnant and parenting people, young people, and families. I know firsthand the discomfort and feelings of isolation that can come with navigating non-affirming spaces and I am honored to offer a safer therapeutic environment.

My clients come to therapy grieving a painful loss (like the death of a loved one, the end of a relationship, or even the loss of a part of their identity), trying to shift unhelpful patterns or behaviors in their relationships, struggling to adapt to a new life phase (like parenthood, starting college, or a new job), having a hard time managing big emotions, or seeking deeper meaning and connection. I particularly love working with young adults, moms and dads, and LGBTQ+ folks.
Do you often feel overwhelmed or struggle with self-doubt? Maybe you're a teen stressed by academic pressure, social dynamics, or uncertainty about the future. Or perhaps you identify as a highly sensitive person & find it challenging to manage your emotions. Whether you're navigating anxiety, adjusting to life transitions, managing relationships, or handling academic or work challenges, I’m here to provide support. I offer both in-person sessions and virtual options for residents of CA and CO.
Are you or a loved one struggling with a major life change, anxiety, depression, grief, or burnout? Do you experience Body-Focused-Repetitive Behaviors (BFRBs) like Trichotillomania or skin-picking? I specialize in working with individuals and families to overcome these challenges. My comprehensive approach considers all aspects of your life, and I'll provide you with evidence-based techniques and strategies to reduce anxiety and alleviate symptoms of BFRBs, depression, and burnout.
Are you distracted by thoughts & insecurities during sex? Does sex feel like a performance or an obligation? Do you worry you'll disappoint your partner because of difficulties with arousal, erections, or orgasms? Do you sometimes avoid sex altogether because working through relationship issues feels complicated or overwhelming? If so, you’re neither alone nor broken. Like many, you may be experiencing performance anxieties, low sexual desire, or have inaccurate or unhelpful beliefs about sex.

My clients are managing ADHD, ASD, OCD, trauma, anxiety, relationship struggles, and depression. They’re tired of therapy that just listens without offering real solutions. If you’re frustrated with vague advice and want someone who understands what you're going through, I’m here to dive in and help. I use my knowledge and experience to ensure our sessions lead to real progress, not just talk.
Do you sometimes feel ruled by your past? Like there’s a story you've been telling yourself that doesn’t quite fit anymore, but is tough to deprogram. Perhaps you've begun exploring your own identity/ies in various ways, differentiating from your family’s expectations, and asking yourself the big question “Who am I?” and could really use a guide and witness to help make space for your evolution. You’ve read, listened, and followed but nothing has changed. You don't have to work so hard alone.
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.
Are you an adult who hasn't fully gotten over how you were treated as a child? Do you struggle with anxiety or PTSD symptoms? Do you keep repeating the same negative relationship patterns or have negative beliefs about your worth? Are you overcome with sadness about the childhood you should have had? Have you experienced emotional neglect and/or feel that you weren't emotionally cared for as a child? If any of these resonate with you, I can help.

I have clients from many different walks of life and from varying ethnic, geographical, educational, occupational, and socio-economic backgrounds. My clients are often facing challenges in daily life, in their relationships, in feeling understood/gotten, and in trying to have congruence in their lives. I work best with clients who are verbal processors, who are committed to the investment of weekly therapy sessions, and who are seeking greater insights, different perspectives, and to feel seen.
I work almost exclusively with the trans and nonbinary communities, and I have specialized in gender identities for the last 8 years. I am kink-aware, ethical non-monogamy-friendly, and sex positive. I see clients as young as 13 years old. I am familiar with dissociation, as well as working with dissociative systems and plural folx.
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.
I am passionate about providing DBT and CBT for those with eating disorders, personality disorders, PTSD/trauma and suicidal behaviors/NSSI. I work with those as young as 5 years old as well as adolescents, transition age youth and adults. I also provide diagnostic evaluations of personality disorders and provide diagnostic clarification for those seeking more information about their symptoms. I am proud to say I provide gender affirming care and am LGBTQI+ aligned.
My clients are open-minded individuals exploring their identity, relationships, or sexuality outside of traditional norms. Whether you're navigating nonmonogamy, queerness or kinky dynamics, or just want a therapist with a fresh approach, I offer a safe, nonjudgmental space. If you're facing anxiety, trauma, or uncertainty, I'm here to help you explore and find the clarity and support you need.

Do you feel disconnected from yourself and others around you? Do you feel unsure how to express your true self or live the life you want? As a Gender, Sex, and Relationship Diversity knowledgable therapist, I offer a supportive environment to address issues in life that may be holding you back. Sometimes it is our own beliefs about ourselves or our true potential that is our greatest barrier. Therapy can help uncover those barriers and help you learn skills for living an authentic life.
Is anxiety holding you back from living the life you want? Are you noticing old wounds being triggered? Are you ready to explore your shadows and bring more awareness to your life? My goal as a therapist is to help provide tools to manage symptoms while also exploring root causes to issues. I utilize tools/ techniques that allow for deeper level processing and healing. If you are ready to clear the blocks that are holding you back and create the life you want reach out for a consultation.
My clients are hardworking, smart and intuitive. 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. All parts of you are welcome! Anxiety can layer on top of other emotions making it hard to get to the root causes and struggles. Undiagnosed ADHD without proper support or recognition can throw a wrench in (all) your plans. I can help clear away the fog. Let's make what you LOVE and VALUE the center of your life.
