You've tried therapy before but found that coping skills and worksheets aren't cutting it. I am a queer 2nd-gen Asian therapist taking a deeper approach. Together, we sift through your past relationships and life experiences, examine them, and look for new ways to write your own story. I also welcome discussion of issues like racism, homophobia, sexism, and how they affect us. My clients are able to make sense of their patterns and discover their own solutions through a space we craft with humor, compassion, and the occasional meme. Past clients share feeling sturdier and more at peace with themselves by the end of therapy.
I work from a psychodynamic and attachment-based approach while integrating DBT and CBT when folks want some guidance. I also aim to provide a gender- and ND-affirming space, specializing in therapy for LGBTQ+ teens and young professionals with suicidal thoughts. I also offer parent coaching, and work well with 2nd-gen immigrants and those with BPD.
Most of my past clients have described sessions with me as "a gentle conversation with purpose." If this is what you're seeking, don't hesitate to schedule a consult. I accept private pay and have some insurance/sliding fee slots available. Reach out even just to see if we're a good fit; I'm happy to work with you to make therapy more affordable.
