here to listen, help, and heal
Hello and welcome! :)
I believe that you are the true expert of your own story and lived experience. However, we can all benefit from outside support and an objective perspective to help us safely shift the way we think, act, and feel. My approach to therapy honors you as a whole person who is completely capable of healing, self-actualization, and personal growth.
My Therapeutic Approach
To help you elicit meaningful change, I blend humanistic and psychodynamic perspectives with Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT). I am also fully trained in Brainspotting (Phases I–IV), offering deep, brain-body processing to help you move past blocks.
Specialized Training & Experience
Prior to launching my private practice, I worked extensively in community mental health as both a therapist and a quality assurance and improvement coordinator. Additionally, I hold specialized training in Perinatal Mood and Anxiety Disorders (PMADs) from Postpartum Support International (PSI) to support parents navigating the raw complexities of the postpartum journey.
Insurance & Out-of-Network Reimbursement
I operate as an out-of-network provider. If you wish to utilize insurance plans with out-of-network benefits, I am glad to provide monthly superbills or submit courtesy billing on your behalf to help you secure direct reimbursement. Please contact me for exact rate information.
About Me & My Commitment to Inclusivity
As a biracial Asian woman—and a proud geriatric millennial/Xennial with purple hair and a healthy sense of humor—I bring a deeply nuanced, down-to-earth understanding of how culture, family heritage, and modern life pressures influence our mental health. Cultivating an equitable, diverse, and inclusive healing space is central to my practice. I warmly welcome and honor clients of all backgrounds, regardless of race, ethnicity, ability, gender, sexual orientation, religion, or status.
