Life is always challenging, and my goal as a therapist is to work alongside you to address issues that are keeping you from living life according to your expectations. I believe in leveraging your strengths, your unique sense of self, and resources, to work towards your personal or relational goals. I have experience working with adults, adolescents, families, and couples in non-profit, residential facilities, in-home, and outpatient settings across the Twin Cities area.

My primary specialty area is working with families and couples with high conflict. Other specialty areas include cross-cultural issues, relationship issues, communication issues, parental issues, anxiety, depression, and impulsive behaviors. I speak fluent Mandarin, Cantonese and intermediate Malay. I am trained in EMDR and am an Enrich/Prepare facilitator.

I believe that the foundation of growth begins within the relationship between individual and therapist. The desire to feel seen, heard, and understood is universal and is an essential part of our overall well-being. I celebrate the courage of individuals who take steps into healing by engaging in the therapeutic process to manifest the life they desire. I am passionate about working together to ensure that you become an expert on yourself and believe in your own insight, strength, and self awareness. I believe that humor and laughter bring out our authentic selves and utilize this philosophy in my work.

For the past 20+ years I've had the opportunity to work with individuals from diverse backgrounds. I have a special interest in women's issues, PTSD and trauma, and healthy relationships. Other specialty areas include depression, anxiety, ADHD, and social anxiety. Asking for help does not always come easy, and I am willing and able to meet you where you are.

Seeking change requires risk, and risk requires vulnerability. One of my greatest honors as a therapist is being trusted to witness and participate in one’s healing journey. I believe in the importance of developing the therapeutic relationship and creating a space where you are able to be your authentic self. I use person-centered, cognitive behavioral, mindfulness and EMDR modalities to help you achieve your goals. We work together to restructure thinking patterns, explore your story, and reduce recurrent distress.

I have extensive experience working with substance abuse, adolescent anger management, life transitions, gender and sexuality issues and trauma therapy. I enjoy working with adults, adolescents (15+), and within the LGBTQ+ community.

It takes a lot of courage to reach out to a therapist, and you've taken that first step already. I don't know your story yet, but if you are experiencing depression, anxiety, trauma, or loss, you don't need to go through it alone. You deserve support, comfort, and help. Whatever you're struggling with, you're invited to my office—in person or virtual—for a conversation.

I'm an open, gentle, sometimes sarcastic person. Therapy usually involves grappling with some uncomfortable feelings, but my clients and I also often joke and laugh in our meetings. I have training and experience dealing with a range of issues from grief to ADHD, but everyone's path is unique. I'd love to walk with you for as long as I can be helpful.

I bring experience from a variety of clinical settings and help individuals create meaningful change in their mental health. I use Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) and Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT) with a person-centered approach, tailoring each session to your needs. I work with trauma, anxiety, depression, personality disorders, and substance use. I believe therapy should feel supportive and empowering. My goal is to help you better understand yourself, build resilience, and move toward a life aligned with your values. I work with teens, young adults, and families, offering a safe, nonjudgmental space for growth.

Client needs always come first, so I use therapeutic techniques that help empower individuals to live their best life. I enjoy working with teens, adolescents, and young adults, along with families. My approach is non-judgmental and tailored to your needs in order to create a safe and comfortable place for my clients to land.

If you're ready to take the next step in your journey, I’m here to help. Together, we can create a path forward that feels right for you. Reach out today to start a conversation and see how therapy can support your growth and well-being.

I help people find the tools they need to navigate the changes and challenges that occur in life. I believe every individual's therapeutic journey is unique. In my sessions we work to create a customized approach that builds on strengths and helps create a reliable platform for meaningful growth. I integrate a number of techniques including mindfulness and other skills that can be used in everyday life. I enjoy working with individuals of all ages, including young adults, older adults, couples, families, and adolescents 16+.

I have additional training and specialized experience in Anxiety, Depression, Life Transitions, Trauma, Postpartum Issues, Parenting, and LGBT+ issues. Outside of work, I enjoy fitness, music, and spending time with my family.

Starting therapy can feel intimidating, but you don’t have to face it alone. I offer a safe, supportive environment where you can share your experiences and begin your journey towards healing. With over 20 years working in the mental health field, I help children, teens, young adults, and adults manage anxiety, depression, and everyday struggles. I provide psychoeducation about how anxiety and depression affect each of us and teach healthy coping skills as a path forward in life.

I am trained in CBT, DBT, and trauma informed practices. My experience comes from work in various mental health settings. This includes providing in home services to children with Autism, years of experience working in day treatment with adolescents/teens, and now years of experience in outpatient therapy settings.

I genuinely value helping clients regain confidence and resume activities impacted by mental health concerns. If you have questions or want to learn more, I invite you to reach out. I’m here to support you every step of the way.

I offer a safe space to explore, express, and overcome obstacles while guiding you to live authentically and focus on your priorities. Through eclectic, person-centered approaches I can help you build trust and patience with yourself, others, and the world we live in. I offer both traditional talk therapy and Art Therapy as a Certified Art Therapist. I have specialized experience with people who have emotional and cognitive struggles, autism, and those dealing with trauma, anxiety, depression, or serious and persistent mental illnesses.

Life is constantly moving, changing, and evolving. Sometimes it feels like too much to take on alone. In a fast-paced world with many truths, I enable individuals to fully understand themselves in a warm, collaborative, and judgment-free environment. I enjoy working with individuals from all backgrounds, especially women ages 18+. I have a special interest in supporting individuals dealing with a range of issues, including anxiety, depression, navigating life transitions, managing relationships, addressing eating issues, fostering positive body image, and enhancing self-esteem.

I believe the foundation for therapy is the relationship. I want to create a space that feels approachable and safe to every individual. I will strive to make the therapeutic process collaborative and centered around your goals, with some friendly challenges thrown in at times. I look forward to working with you, and helping you set and meet your goals!

Too often we get caught up in worrying about things we cannot control, yet don't know where to start in making a change in the right direction. Maybe you are currently struggling in your relationships, navigating blended family dynamics, trying to cope with social anxiety or there are just things you experienced growing up and you just can't seem to "let it go." As your therapist, I will take the time to get to know and understand your experiences, areas of stuckness, and overwhelm, as we work together to create meaningful changes.

The clients who connect with me the most are adults and young adults experiencing symptoms of anxiety, unresolved trauma, or poor self-esteem. I draw from a variety of therapy models, primarily using mindfulness-based approaches, emotionally focused therapy (EFT), and existential therapy.
