“I’m trapped in a cycle I can’t break.” “Substance use is dominating my life.” You are not alone. I hear you, and I want to support you. I specialize in helping individuals facing anxiety, depression, trauma, and substance abuse regain control and move forward. Using a collaborative approach, you guide your treatment while I partner with you wherever you are in the process.Conditions like anxiety, depression, trauma, and substance use can feel all-consuming, but they don’t have to control your life. Together, we can take steps toward healing, growth, and reclaiming your well-being. With the right support, strategies, and self-compassion, hope, resilience, and personal strength are achievable.

I believe this truth lies at the heart of mental health. My role is to create a supportive environment where you can safely express your pain, and—at your own pace—begin facing it voluntarily. My goal is to help build your resilience and sense of competence in the face of life’s challenges, with the hope that one day you will no longer need me. I work primarily from an Adlerian perspective, emphasizing the importance of purpose and community belonging—vital elements of mental well-being that are often overlooked. I also use cognitive behavioral therapy to help address more acute symptoms of distress, particularly for those struggling with anxiety and OCD.

“My anxiety keeps me on edge and I can never relax.” “I overthink everything and it keeps me up at night.” “I struggle to communicate with others.” Do you have thoughts like these? If so, we can work through them together. If you’re struggling with something overwhelming, therapy can help you find clarity and a path forward. Maybe you’re experiencing depression that leaves you drained, lasting effects of trauma, or relationship struggles. You don’t have to face these things on your own. I’m here to offer a caring and supportive space where you can heal and grow. I am dedicated to helping clients navigate anxiety, depression, and trauma, as well as walking alongside couples and families as they strengthen their relationships. Using a mixed-methods approach, I will work with you to set goals and create a plan to help you get where you want to go. Please reach out by giving me a call or sending me a message.

Feeling stressed and anxious? Worried about fitting in, getting good grades, disappointing other people? Therapy is a great place to learn how to manage these types of worries by learning more about yourself and the roots of these feelings. I offer culturally competent, trauma informed therapy for individuals and couples facing the every day struggles of being alive. I am a cis-gendered heterosexual Asian American woman. My pronouns are she/her. I use many modalities including EMDR, Brainspotting, and CBT, among others. I have a Masters degree in Social Work from New York University and a Bachelors of Arts from Harvard University. I have over 15 years of professional experience. I offer both in-person and video sessions. My office is located on Broadway and Baseline, just south of the CU Boulder campus.

“I keep telling myself to relax, but even my own mind won’t listen.” “It feels like I’m fighting a storm no one else can see.” Anxiety can feel like it runs the show, with racing thoughts, constant worry, and the sense that you can never fully relax. It might leave you lying awake at night, second-guessing yourself, or feeling on edge in situations that once felt easy. Over time, the stress can spill into every part of your life, fueling depression, stirring up old trauma, or straining your closest relationships. Even when you try to push through, the weight of it all can feel overwhelming. You do not have to live this way. In our work together, you will have a safe space to feel understood and supported. My approach is compassionate and collaborative as we explore what drives your anxiety, build tools for relief, and work toward greater balance, healing, and resilience. Reaching out for help takes courage, and it can be the first step toward real change. I invite you to contact me today to schedule a session. Together we can begin the process of creating a life that feels more manageable and fulfilling.

Are you exhausted from trying to keep it all together? You may be feeling overwhelmed by anxiety, weighed down by depression, or haunted by past trauma. Maybe you’ve always felt different, misunderstood, or like you had to shrink parts of yourself to fit in. Whether you're exploring identity, managing perfectionism, or trying to heal from relational wounds, you deserve a space where you don’t have to do it alone. In therapy, we’ll create that space together. I approach my work with empathy, authenticity, and deep respect for your lived experience. Using a trauma-informed, person-centered approach, I support clients in finding clarity, resilience, and a stronger sense of self. You don’t have to have all the answers—just a willingness to begin. Healing starts with connection. Reach out today to schedule a free consultation—I look forward to meeting you.

Sometimes the pressure to succeed in school, sports, or life feels overwhelming. Stress, anxiety, or the weight of expectations may leave you lying awake at night, replaying the day over and over. Even when you push forward, it can feel like the weight of it all is catching up to you. You don’t have to face this alone. I enjoy working with athletes as well as clients struggling with anxiety, depression, and trauma. Together, we’ll create a supportive space to sort through what feels heavy, build coping strategies, and uncover strengths you may not realize you have. My goal is to help you feel more confident, connected, and hopeful about your future. If you’re ready to begin, I invite you to reach out by phone or message to schedule a session.

I’m a licensed psychotherapist who works with young people to understand and disrupt unhelpful patterns, better cope with challenging situations and discover greater ease, self-acceptance and healthy expression. I am committed to serving students in all content areas to navigate pressure, the pursuit of excellence and transition to career. It is important to me that LGBTQ+ people feel safe in the therapeutic space. I often help clients navigate grief, complex trauma or anxiety and I offer unique therapeutic perspectives when supporting those processing childhood rejection, ADHD and executive functioning challenges, university stress, or careers in the arts. My clinical practice is informed and enriched by my career as a professor, director, and administrator in the performing arts. I have directed or taught theatre courses at some of the most well-regarded theatre programs in the country, including Juilliard, Yale School of Drama, and NYU TISCH School of the Arts. As a therapist, I create a space for you to bring your whole self, feel safe, respected and understood as well as learn new skills and take on new perspectives. I don’t believe in a one-size-fits-all therapy, instead I tailor therapy to your individual needs. I draw from cognitive-behavioral, relational, and trauma-informed strategies, while also integrating expressive arts and movement or somatic lenses when useful. And I always offer a steady and reliable presence. Clients who work with me gain a more accurate understanding of what is really going on for them, and make positive changes in their thoughts, assessments and actions, resulting in greater satisfaction and functioning in their lives. I’m honored to support you in your therapeutic journey!

College can be an exciting time of growth and discovery, but it can also bring stress, uncertainty, and questions about who you are and where you’re headed. I believe therapy should be a warm, affirming, and judgment-free space where you can be yourself, make sense of what you’re experiencing, and figure out what you need to thrive. I work with college students navigating anxiety, stress management, ADHD, relationship issues, queer and racial identity, and executive functioning. Together, we’ll build self-awareness and practical strategies that fit the way you think, learn, and live—while helping you develop healthier habits, stronger boundaries, and more meaningful connections. My approach is grounded in equity, inclusion, and cultural humility. I’m committed to understanding you within the context of your identities, experiences, culture, and relationships. Whether you’re struggling to stay organized, figuring out who you are, navigating relationships, or simply feeling stuck, you don’t have to figure it all out alone. I’m here to help you better understand yourself and build the skills and confidence to create a life that feels like your own. Reach out for a Free 15-minute Video Consultation to see if we’re a good fit.

I have over a decade of experience supporting high-performance students and professionals in academic, medical, and military settings. My professional background also includes roles promoting community wellness, with organizations like the Clinton Foundation and NYU Law School. I am trained in a range of clinical modalities which allows me to use an integrative and holistic therapeutic approach that is individually tailored to each of my clients and rooted in empirically-supported treatments. I am excited to support you in building on your strengths and taking steps towards positive change.

Are you feeling overwhelmed by the pressure to have it all figured out? College can bring anxiety, depression, trauma, and stress that leave you feeling lost or disconnected. I understand how hard it can be to ask for help when you’re used to holding it together for everyone else. My approach is straightforward and practical, real tools for real challenges. Together, we’ll work through the stress, relationships, identity shifts, or substance use concerns that may be weighing you down. You don’t have to do this alone. If you’re ready to take that next step, call or send me a message. I’ve got your back.

As a Licensed Master Social Worker and Clinical Candidate with more than a decade of experience, I offer adolescents and adults a warm, safe space where patients feel truly seen and supported. I specialize in trauma and mood disorders, helping individuals develop coping skills and understand how their mind and body respond to stress and life transitions. My approach is grounded in building a collaborative, compassionate, and authentic relationship where you are empowered to regulate, heal from anxiety, depression, and trauma, and move toward a more balanced and peaceful way of living. I deeply believe that no one has to navigate their pain alone and that everyone deserves the opportunity to heal. I believe in practicing radical empathy and acceptance, which helps me be a therapist who believes in hope and healing – because I have experienced it. Working together, you are assured a welcoming and judgement-free environment that incorporates a strengths-based approach, Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), and polyvagal-informed techniques to help you understand your reactions, reduce stress, and feel more balanced. My style is supportive and authentic, with a touch of humor when appropriate, and adapted to your hopes and goals. I look forward to being part of your mental health journey to help build resilience, regulate the mind and body, and cultivate a more peaceful, balanced life. My path to becoming a therapist began with my own mental health journey in my 20s. Having survived a traumatic upbringing, I knew I needed serious healing in order to build the life I wanted for myself. This personal experience in overcoming obstacles raised by trauma deepened my commitment to pursuing a career in mental health, and fueled my commitment to providing a holistic and deeply empathic approach to helping others heal. That’s why, in my practice now, I bring a humble and nonjudgmental perspective to each session, knowing that we all need help on our life journeys. When I’m not in the office, I love taking photos in nature, hiking, skiing, attending live music concerts (especially at outdoor venues), traveling, and learning about plants and animals. I’m also a big fan of mental health and wellness podcasts as well as card and board games (Catan is super fun, even if I don't often win!).

You may feel like you’re falling short of where you think you “should” be, moving through life on autopilot. Some days emotions feel overwhelming; other days you may feel numb or disconnected from yourself and your body. Life, like the ocean, moves in waves—some gentle, others surging. I support individuals navigating anxiety, depression, and trauma, as well as identity concerns, emotional regulation, and feeling disconnected or unsure of themselves.

Some days emotions feel overwhelming; other days you may feel numb or disconnected from yourself and your body. Life, like the ocean, moves in waves—some gentle, others surging. I support individuals navigating anxiety, depression, and trauma, as well as identity concerns, emotional regulation, and feeling disconnected or unsure of themselves. When the tide feels unsteady, therapy can offer grounding and support.

If this resonates, call me or send me a message to explore whether we’re a good fit.

Starting therapy can feel overwhelming. I understand the hesitation, so I strive to create a space where you feel comfortable, heard, and supported. I have experience working with individuals struggling with depression, anxiety, life transitions, family dynamics, intimate partner violence, and feelings of isolation or disconnection. You don’t have to have everything figured out to begin—just a willingness to show up as you are. Therapy doesn’t require the right words or a clear plan; it begins with having a place where your experiences can be shared openly, without judgment or pressure.
