Psychotherapists - Licensed

It takes courage to shine light on the parts of you that want to be seen. With a spirit of play and creativity, I will encourage you to engage your sense of wonder, so we can identify and build on your unique strengths.

Do you struggle in your relationships? What could it be like to intentionally cultivate a relationship where you are always seen and valued? With the right fit, that’s what happens in therapy. I will accept you exactly as you are, while making space for the person you are growing into - with compassion, warmth, and sometimes even humor. All of your emotions are welcome in our exploration - even the ones you judge yourself for.

You deserve to feel love and belonging.

As your therapist, I will invite you into a deeper and more rewarding relationship with yourself. Therapy looks different for everyone. We will work together to collaboratively discover what therapy looks like for you. You know yourself better than I ever will.

If you are seeking therapy with a partner or partners, I will help you learn to slow down and LISTEN to each other with curiosity, respect, and a willingness to be surprised. With couples and partners in all kinds of relationships, I support you to communicate more effectively, and see the best in one another.

Using a culturally sensitive, anti-oppression lens, I welcome people of every ability, size, gender, national origin, race/ethnicity, religious affiliation, relationship style; anywhere along the gender and sexuality spectrum - from teens to elders. I am CNM/polyamory-aware and BDSM/kink-knowledgeable, and sex worker friendly.

Some areas of focus:

Relationships and Intimacy • Open Relationships/Consensual Non-Monogamy • Sexuality, Gender and Identity including LGBTQQ2SIA+ • Sex Therapy • Cultural Differences and Power Dynamics • Issues around experiences of Privilege or Oppression • Anxiety, Stress and Depression • ADHD/ Neurodivergence • Creativity • Self Compassion and Releasing Shame • Life Transitions and Life Purpose • Psychedelic and Entheogenic Integration • Grief, Loss and Loneliness

I welcome and work with adults and teens who identify as gender variant, gender non-conforming, cis-gender, transgender, heterosexual, LGBTQQA, asexual, altsex, monogamous, polyamorous, vanilla, BDSM, kinky, etc.

My approach is collaborative and individualized to each client, but is fundamentally influenced by psychodynamic, cognitive-behavioral, and mindfulness theories.

My specialty areas include: relationship problems; academic and work performance; organization; mood and anxiety issues; resolving trauma; self-improvement; life transitions; and gender, sexuality, and sex issues.

These travels have given me a rich appreciation of the incredible diversity found in this wonderful mosaic we call “people”. Through these adventures, I continuously expand my awareness and learnings of how I can best honor and support the many expressions and embodiments of Gender, Sexual, and Relationship Diversity (GSRD).

I am most passionate about normalizing sexual behaviors, fostering an understanding that different is not necessarily wrong, and giving people permission to pursue and explore their own desires, aspirations, dreams, and ultimately, themselves.

I believe in the importance of creating a space where people feel open to and supported in their process of growth. My practice, Affirming Therapy Center, is such a space. We are here to help you in your unique journey – to explore and process through your events, thoughts, feelings, emotions, and patterns. My vision is for you to live your best life!

Fluent in both Chinese and English, I specialize in supporting diverse clients, particularly those who are BIPOC. My journey navigating my own identity and relationships, along with my background as a former sex worker, has given me a deep understanding of the unique challenges faced within these communities.

In my practice, I offer specialized services tailored to LGBTQ+ individuals, including kink-affirming and trans-affirming care, as well as support for ENM relationships. My therapeutic approach blends techniques such as Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT), mindfulness, somatic work, Gestalt therapy, Emotionally Focused Therapy (EFT), and Internal Family Systems (IFS).

Therefore, I offer a space for you to safely explore cognitive and relationship patterns with a well-trained, empathic, affirming person of color.

I look forward to speaking.
