Something hasn’t been working in your life lately... you haven’t been feeling quite right... and you made the courageous decision to seek some answers and professional support... Have you wondering why you are not as happy as you used to be? Do you find yourself more anxious than you used to be? Are your loved ones worried about unhealthy behaviors that might be getting out of control? Are important relationships starting to suffer because of these feelings or behaviors? Do you want to know the reasons? Do you want to make healthy, positive changes? Do you want to take your life back and feel better again? Change is possible!

From the very beginning, I work to build trust and a foundation for my clients that allows them to feel safe to share and explore their personal narrative. I empower individuals to recognize that they have the ability to change negative ways of thinking, create new patterns of relationships with themselves and others, and set boundaries that allow them to move through the world feeling supported. My main focus is treating eating disorders using the HAES foundation. I am a certified clinical trauma professional currently working on my EMDR certification. Other modalities I utilize are CBT, DBT, IFS, Solution Focused, MI, and more.

I welcome clients from all backgrounds who are ready to become their most authentic selves. I have 12 years of experience working in mental health in various roles. My style is warm, interactive, and direct while honoring each clients individual story and unique needs. Whatever your goals are I will partner with you to navigate life's circumstances and guide you to build a future that you love.

As someone with over 20 years of experience working with children, teens, adults, families, and couples in the Portland area, I am driven to see people succeed while offering my support. I believe the way we think about ourselves and the world around us heavily impacts the way we react and show up in our lives and our relationships. From trauma to lack of access to resources, or from unmet needs to mental health diagnoses, our perception of the world and ourselves can blind us or set us off track. I am genuinely intrigued by the story each person brings and how those stories have shaped the person that they are.

Are you unsatisfied with your relationships or work, and it's not clear why? Are you looking for support with chosen or unchosen transitions? Are you having trouble making changes in your life? I help people explore their needs and values, and to feel empowered to set healthy boundaries with significant others, family members, managers and colleagues. I love helping others clarify their values and find direction. I'm here to support you at a pace that feels right for you.

Dealing with anxiety, trauma, and stress can significantly affect your daily life, impacting your relationships, work, and self-esteem. These experiences can lead to feelings of isolation, making it challenging to find a way forward. My practice is specifically aimed at individuals who are ready to confront these issues directly, seeking not just symptom management but a deeper understanding and transformation of their relationship with these conditions. This approach is designed for those looking to regain control and find peace in their lives

I know seeking therapy is scary, but I want to make this a welcoming and comfortable experience for you. Life has many ups and downs and we all need guidance sometimes. I am trauma informed and have over twenty years of working experience outside of counseling. I know the privilege I have as a cis gendered, heterosexual, light skinned Asian American woman, but I also know the flip side of being a minority in a majority white city. We can discuss and unpack your trauma together in a supportive environment. Whether it be depression, anxiety, stress or trauma, I can help you overcome it.

Depression, anxiety, and relationship issues can profoundly impact your life, creating feelings of isolation and confusion. My practice is devoted to individuals seeking to understand and navigate these challenges. By exploring the intricacies of your experiences, we'll uncover the underlying causes of your feelings. Recognizing that understanding the 'why' behind your emotions is crucial, we delve into your past, particularly your family of origin, to identify patterns and sources of trauma, aiming to foster healing and growth.

Are you feeling stressed and overwhelmed with the challenges of every day life such as relationship & parenting concerns, loss, grief, resentment & anger?

I specialize in somatic, attachment, and emotion-focused modalities, with a focus on young adults and women with marginalized experiences and a history of attachment trauma, chronic stress, emotional neglect, anxiety, and depression. No one should have to walk this path alone. Feeling disconnected from your body, confused and overwhelmed by emotions, and feeling alone can be the result of attachment trauma and chronic stress. In our work together, we will collaboratively unravel where you feel stuck and work towards a stronger relationship with yourself and others.

I believe that the therapeutic relationship is at the core of individual and family work. When working with children, I believe in the power of play, art, and connection to build relationships and skill-build along with process challenging life events. I support families with increasing communication, building compassion and connection while honoring families’ inherent strengths and background. During individual therapy with adults, our work will be geared towards finding balance in navigating the unknown and building coping tools. In all aspects of my work I am committed to working from an anti-oppressive and affirming lens.

Are you taking care of everyone else but yourself. Do you find that you have to keep busy all the time, or else it feels like you’re wasting time. Are the emotions so much bigger than you can handle, and yet people just tell you “it is not that big of a deal.” Is it hard keeping friendships, because you find that you do all the communication. Get the emo playlist ready, and let's dig into that shit together. I can help you to find ways to reduce the hold anxiety and depression has on you.

Living a full and meaningful life has always included experiencing challenges and issues that require courage to understand, face, and manage. Navigating those challenges in the complexities of our current world has become increasingly difficult. If you are experiencing difficulties with relationships, feeling emotionally overwhelmed or numb, going through a life transition, or experiencing grief and loss, you have made a courageous step by considering therapy. Through therapy, new insights into your emotional responses and behavioral patterns can be understood in the context of your unique life and experiences.

You are not alone. No one goes through life without facing challenges or without suffering. Everyday life often spurs mental health challenges which can weigh us down and make us feel stuck. Chronic anxiety, depression, problematic reactions to trauma, issues in relationships, self-criticism, issues with substances/food, and a host of other common mental health related challenges indicate a need for help. Life transitions and experiences of loss/grief are also times when help is often needed. While no one can escape challenges or suffering, wounds can be healed, and a life centered in solid mental health is possible for everyone.

Being and becoming vulnerable can be difficult whether you are struggling with anxiety, depression, stress, relationships, an eating disorder or any other concerns. My main goal is to help you achieve your goals when entering therapy or to help create goals one would like to set out and achieve.

You're motivated to make a change. You may be confused about where to start, or if the change is even possible. You're seeking support as you transition through a difficult moment in life. Or perhaps, you've already made the difficult transition and you can't figure out how to return to "normal". I specialize in helping people overcome anxiety, improve self esteem and decrease symptoms of depression, process simple and complex trauma, and to change their thoughts and feelings in order to live a more happy and fulfilled life. You want to come to therapy because you want to live a more fulfilled life.

Our love stories are often stories of evolution. We often enter into partnership with the expectation of someone walking beside us into our future - but we often discover that future looks differently than imagined. Major life changes such as parenthood, health challenges, grief, financial stress, learning to balance the division of labor and unmatched expectations in the relationship can leave us feeling unloved, unseen, and alone. For many, the only information we have about how to move through these challenges comes from couples we have observed in our lives, and is hindered by insecure attachment and wounding.
