My clinical orientation and training is Integrative, as it combines Psychodynamic and Cognitive Behavioral (CBT) perspectives with Eastern one. I probe for problematic thinking styles and attitudes that are often part of personality disorders and self-handicapping strategies. In many cases, this plays a central role in many disorders.

My practice includes Individual, Couples Therapy, Marriage Counseling and Family Therapy as well as Life Coaching, Career Coaching as well as Executive Coaching services. My approach is solution-oriented and practical while emphasizing SOLVING PROBLEMS or REACHING GOALS. I see therapy as a process for CHANGE rather than merely an exercise in insight.

Are you seeking resilience in uncertain times? My approach to therapy combines psychodynamic training with CBT, finding practical solutions to problems. This means that you and I will work together to find both the "why" of what you bring to therapy (childhood development, history, and social context) and the "what" (how to change what you want to change). I tend to work with high achievers who feel there is something lacking in their personal lives and relationships. I work with adults, as well as adolescents in high school or college/graduate school. I see both individuals and couples who want to make meaningful changes.

I'm a Licensed Psychoanalyst and a Licensed Creative Arts Therapist. I have extensive experience working with people coping with depression, PTSD, relationship issues, anxiety and career concerns. I'm also trained in specific trauma evidence base treatments such as Internal Family System, EMDR, and Psychedelic Integration, all are specifically focused treatments designed to create meaningful, desirable and durable lifestyle changes.

Relationship is at the heart of effective therapy. My central focus at the beginning is to create a safe, non-judgmental space with you so that our therapeutic relationship can grow. I am interested in knowing who you are, how you think, what your desires are, your relationships, what you identify as barriers to being all that you can be--all in order to understand who you are and how you function in the world. I want to work intimately with you to help you find health, wholeness, well-being, creativity, and freedom.

Currently accepting new clients. I believe each client has innate strengths and inner wisdom that can be uncovered through the therapy process. We will work together to make sense of your past and present, and move towards positive change. I aim to bring empathy, warmth, humor, acceptance, and cultural humility into each session. ​I am an integrative, client-centered therapist and draw from my cognitive behavioral (CBT) and psychodynamic training.

If you're looking for a therapist, it is vital to feel connected. Empathy, support, and a good fit; while necessary for change, is not sufficient. Through working together, we will identify the changes you want to make and you will learn methods and perspectives that can help you cope with life's ups and downs, and use not only while in therapy, but long after it ends.

After years of academic study of psychology, I moved my focus to clinical work. As a licensed therapist, I have been working with diverse populations in both the United States and China. I believe every therapy is cross-cultural therapy and it is important to listen to clients’ narratives from their own perspectives. My style is practical and interactive. I work collaboratively with my clients regarding treatment goals and I place the search for personal truth at the core of my therapeutic approach. I encourage people to develop curiosity about their own behaviors and look for deeper patterns and structures.

Good therapy can produce long lasting life changes. Although shifts in behavior and emotions can take time, even in the short term there can be immediate relief. I see the relationship between the patient and therapist as central to a positive outcome. Although we are all infinitely diverse and complex, collectively we seek to be understood. I listen with curiosity and empathy to understand each individual's unique experience. In treatment I create an atmosphere of trust where together we can identify your strengths, find practical solutions to problems and unfold underlying vulnerabilities that are obstacles to your experience of a rich and fulfilling life.

I help people to identify and overcome the issues that are preventing them from achieving what they want in life. My clients are highly functioning men and women who are dealing with the stressors of modern day existence, ie relationship issues, life transitions, depression and anxiety. It can often be a difficult task to balance interpersonal relationships (family, friends, dating, committed relationships) with life's expectations. Common stressors can also cause life crisis. For example, figuring out your career path, changing careers, adjusting to a new living or financial situation, dealing with chronic illness or the loss of a loved one.
