One rock at a time.

I am a licensed psychologist and I provide psychological testing, psychotherapy, and neurofeedback training. I work with individuals and couples. I am bilingual in English and Mandarin Chinese.

Whether you are working to build something new or to work through something current, one rock at a time.

I have been a licensed mental health therapist since 2007. I see Individuals, Couples and Families in individual and group settings. Adults and adolescents age 14+ Care is taken in the selection and use of an eclectic therapeutic approach drawing upon different ideas and theories that best meet your needs and life goals. My healing approach tends to emphasize depth psychology. Depth psychology calls attention to the importance of what lies "below the surface" of conscious awareness and explores what motivates our behaviors. Discover an unconditional place in which you can develop new insights about yourself and strengthen your ability to make healthy choices. .

With that being said, treatment is about YOU. YOU are the one that does the work necessary for whatever YOU are seeking. I only set the stage for this possibility.

We can find ourselves feeling overwhelmed by stress, emotions, and unhealthy patterns. Sometimes our current coping skills are not enough or are no longer helpful to us. I am a warm and empathetic counselor that can assist you on your life journey. I strive to instill hope that positive change can occur, support development of new skills, and encourage movement toward a more successful and fulfilling life. I counsel adults of any age, sexual orientation, race, or culture. I provide a safe and compassionate environment to work on any concern, including OCD, co-dependence, anxiety, depression, trauma, grief, and transition.

As your therapist, I can provide you with a safe and comfortable space for approaching challenges and developing creative solutions. I will become your guide as you work your way out of feeling "stuck" within situations or thoughts that may have become too difficult to manage. I use an eclectic treatment approach that combines action-oriented and reflective techniques based in Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, Expressive Arts Therapy, Positive Psychology, and Mindfulness practices. As an Expressive Arts Therapist, I also offer various opportunities for engaging in such therapeutic activities as art, music, and creative writing.These methods can sometimes empower you to explore ideas and feelings that may be initially too difficult to express in words. As the former director of a college/career access program at non-profit arts organization, I offer 10+ years of experience in college admissions counseling. I have often used expressive arts and assertiveness training techniques to help ease any anxieties associated with the college and/or employment application process.
