Get to Know Our Team & Find the Right Therapist for You and Your Needs

As a therapist, I understand that clients’ current challenges are deeply and sometimes unconsciously influenced by their past, family history, culture, and systems in which we exist. I help clients unearth the not-yet-know aspects affecting their lives, and work to heal, change, or accept them. I prioritize a safe, caring, and sometimes bold therapeutic relationship that nurtures the clients' innate strengths and capacities.

Beyond talk therapy, I also work with the arts (visual art, music, movement) and somatic (body-based) processes to clarify the client’s inner wisdom. You don’t have to consider yourself an artist in order to benefit from creative processes in therapy.

I take an integrative approach to therapy with an emphasis on a client-centered approach to build rapport and meet the needs of my clients. This allows me to utilize unconditional positive regard, not only do I provide a judgment-free space, but I strongly believe in my clients’ own ability to overcome their challenges. I specialize in working with trauma survivors, anxiety disorders, and relationship-based issues. Also, as a member of the LGBTQA+ community, I feel I have a lot to offer in the way of supporting and connecting with clients who are also a part of the community.

As a therapist, I focus on helping clients to see the dark parts of themselves from a more compassionate lens. The quote I use to inform my work is “I am not learning to escape my darkness, I am learning to love myself there." 

The other unique thing about me is that I consider myself to be alternative and more on the gothic side. I dress mostly in black and do not try to hide my tattoos and other body modifications. I love providing a non-judgmental and safe space for others who feel like they are a type of outcast within the norms of society.

I prioritize establishing a strong therapeutic relationship based on trust and safety, creating a space where my clients can address their therapeutic goals. With an Anti-Racist and Feminist lens, I strive to understand the ways in which my client’s intersectional identities might influence their lived experiences. I utilize a trauma-informed approach by integrating a unique blend of talk therapy, EMDR, and IFS-informed interventions to help my clients foster new insights and reclaim their sense of joy and wellness.

I work with a client's natural rhythm, strengths, and needs rather than against them. As a therapist my goal is not to fit people into “perfect person” cut outs, but to understand the goals of my clients and to help them find their intrinsic worthiness.

My cultural identity and nationality as a first-generation Mexican-American as well as queer identity make me a unique therapist. Additionally, my style is less traditional & stoic than most psychotherapists which leads towards a more collaborative approach and challenging my clients.

I use a therapeutic approach that integrates psychodynamic, cognitive behavioral, and humanistic models to best meet the needs of my clients depending on where they are at in their mental health and the issues they want to address.

My experience as a Chinese American woman and my previous career in social justice education have provided me with the knowledge of how the oppressive structure of our society contributes to people’s internal and external conflicts and the impact of current and historical trauma on our sense of self and sense of belonging. 

Being in my 50s, I bring a lifetime of insight and experience to my work with clients that allow me to both relate to my clients and guide them to identify their strengths and understand how to build upon them to heal and grow as a healthy person.

I take a warm, humorous and patient approach to therapy, allowing the client to unfurl at their own pace. Building trust takes time. Above all, I honor the complexities and autonomy of human beings, outside of diagnostic categories that can feel limiting.

I utilize my empathic, caring personality to be present for my clients. We all come from different backgrounds, childhoods, and experiences and that includes me. I make it known to my clients that I am just as human as they are; that none of them are alone in their experiences or feelings.

 As a therapist and supervisor, my goal is to support the therapeutic process with empathy, evidence-based interventions, and an environment that encourages authentic exploration of the self and the outside world, revealing the strengths, desires and needs of clients. With a strong social justice perspective, I assist clients in identifying and challenging assumptions and beliefs that don't serve their true nature. Through a collaborative conversation, mindfulness practices, and self-reflection, we together create a new, more honest and more helpful way of understanding what it means to be human, and the possibilities that exist for feeling happy, fulfilled, and at peace.
