As your therapist, I bring several years of experience supporting individuals and families through crisis, healing, and transformation. My background spans emergency departments, inpatient care, child welfare, hospice, and community mental health—each setting has shaped my trauma-informed, solution-focused, and client-centered approach.

I have over 30 years experience working with adults experiencing life challenges. I keep my practice small to ensure each of my patients feel connected, heard, and empowered.

I enjoy learning about ways we can change and understand our human existence. We are thinking, feeling and doing beings. Cognitive behavioral therapy provides a framework to identify ways to do it differently and better. Trauma treatment modalities like EMDR may support processing neurological and physiological reactions and being able to feel secure and safe while staying connected to others' more fully. Our story is just that; we write it and edit it. We get to choose the chapters and path of our lives through the unknowns, mysteries and celebrations.

I specialize in working with adults and older adults navigating trauma, depression, anxiety, and life transitions. You may feel stuck in patterns that no longer serve you, struggling with boundaries, or carrying experiences that still impact how you move through the world. My work integrates approaches like bibliotherapy, CBT, and DBT to help you process what you’ve been through while building practical skills you can use in your daily life and relationships.

My path to becoming a therapist grew from a deep curiosity about people and how our experiences shape how we think, feel, and connect. I was drawn to work that feels meaningful, and my own journey with mental health and questions of identity gave me a deeper appreciation for the support that helps people feel truly understood. I pursued doctoral-level training in psychology, training in community clinics, college counseling centers, and group practices across Washington, Philadelphia, San Francisco, and Southern California. These experiences continue to shape my approach, which is grounded in curiosity, care, and respect for each person. I enjoy working with the immigration population and the AAPI community.
