Psychologist
Denver, CO

Hello! I am a clinical psychologist specializing in supporting individuals and couples who want to better understand themselves, how they relate to others and all of life. My style is warm, active, and genuine. I strongly believe in the importance of building an authentic and trusting relationship for therapy to be effective. I work from a relational framework, also drawing from my training in attachment theory, mindfulness, third-wave cognitive-behavioral (ACT, DBT) and interpersonal therapies. My approach is always grounded in compassion and curiosity for how my clients experience themselves and the world. I am a California native and completed my graduate education through Stanford before moving to Colorado in 2020. I worked in university counseling for two years as a predoctoral intern and postdoctoral fellow at CU Boulder’s Counseling and Psychiatric Services and love working with students in my private practice. I address a wide range of concerns, most commonly including relationship difficulties, existential issues, anxiety, and depression. As a first-generation immigrant, I am particularly fascinated by the impact of culture on identity and relationships. While challenging at times, I believe therapy can be extremely rewarding and even fun – humor is healing, and I laugh with my clients often! I currently have in-person availability on Mondays and Tuesdays in Denver and throughout the week virtually.

We are living in a pressure-filled, anxiety inducing world and I am here to help you navigate through it! I am passionate about helping my clients deal with all of the everyday life “stuff” that they and so many others struggle with. In today’s society, it feels like so many people are pressured to fit inside a certain box to “qualify for” or “need” therapy. With my experience working with diverse clientele in various settings, I strive to be a clinician who is working towards changing the narrative on who therapy is or is not intended for. I understand first hand the pressures, unrealistic expectations, and struggles we are faced with on a regular basis. My practice focuses primarily on anxiety and depression, as well as working with clients who simply just need someone to talk to. I hear you, I'm here for you, and I want to help. I am here and ready to take this journey with you, all you have yo do is reach out!

Can You Relate? As a teen, you feel lost, broken, misunderstood, unseen and unheard. You don’t know why it has to be so hard. You look around and desire the relationships, confidence and life that other people seem to have so easily. You’re worried about what other people think and can’t seem to get out in your head. As a young adult, you search for independence, but feel overwhelmed with all the “adulting”. There are so many transitions to manage and questions you can’t answer just yet. You want to address the things that do not feel quite right, so you can create the best version of yourself and thrive. Im a firm believer that your struggles do not define you. You come with a unique set of beliefs and experiences that shape the way you show up with yourself and the world. I welcome all my clients to show up to our space exactly as they are, and I promise to do the same. As I often find myself pushing back on traditional ways of thinking about approaches to mental health and wellness, I embrace the unconventional and seek to find out-of-the-box and cutting edge solutions that align with your values, strengths and goals. I don’t treat problems — I partner with you. Together, we will build a connected and balanced life free of the limitations you currently feel and experience. I’m excited to get to know you! I’m even more excited for you to get to know yourself in new, life-changing ways. Throughout our time together, we will look at all the not-so-fun parts of you and the not-yet-understood parts. Most importantly, you’ll discover the very best parts of you that were always there, but perhaps got a bit lost as life got more complicated.

Therapy can help you get untangled from old stories, old ways of being that are sabotaging you from living a life you love. You give so much of yourself to others, leaving you feeling depleted and empty inside. You stay busy. You keep caring, doing, and giving to others believing that how you show up for others will make you feel like enough. But it hasn’t, instead there is an urge to distract, stay busy and avoid your self. Believing ‘If I focus on others or on tasks things will get better. I will eventually give enough or do enough to be happy with myself.’ But when will time alone ever feel okay, comfortable, or safe? My professional training and life experiences have led to my empowering focused approach to therapy to help my clients as they navigate these challenges. I help my clients overcome narrations and self-sabotaging beliefs that are leaving them stuck in the same cycle to create a balancing and rewarding life where they realize their own worth. If you are ready to take the next step I offer free 15-minute phone consults where we can find out if I am the therapist who is the right fit for you and your needs. If you are not ready for a phone consult, I invite you to browse my website to get to know me more through there and I hope to chat with you soon.

Group practice
Denver, CO

We are a group practice that focuses on helping people feel better in their relationships. Appointments are offered in-person at our Denver office or through Telehealth. We recognize, as a young adult, you might be feeling depressed, anxious, or stressed with all of the things you have to manage while trying to feel good about yourself in relationships. Establishing yourself as an individual in this world, separate from the places and the people you grew up with, can be hard. You can bring a lot of stuff with you. You might have the time and space to think about the hard stuff or to finally put a name to the stress and pressure you've been feeling. You want to make people happy, but you have to figure out how to feel happy yourself first. We understand this transition time in your life and how you are trying so hard to have healthy relationships, to be less worried or stressed, to feel successful, and to find happiness. Call today to hear how we can help.

Asheville, NC

I have been in private practice for 20 years, with my specialty focusing on individuals resolving historic traumas and women balancing all of the complications of womanhood in a fast paced, demanding world. In all of my therapeutic work I talk about "traumas". Traumas can be events or messages we internalize about ourselves from the past. Traumas can be brilliantly adaptive: helping us to become incredible, impressive humans. Our traumas can also hold us back in many ways that may be limiting our happiness: the other side of the proverbial coin.

I am a sex-positive, polyamory-affirming, and kink-informed therapist. I draw from an eclectic knowledge base that includes queer theory, disability justice, anti-racism, intersectionality, and fat liberation. My clinical perspective is influenced by attachment theory, humanistic theory, and systems theory. I have been trained in many evidence-based modalities, such as ACT, CBT, DBT, solution-focused therapy, narrative therapy, and others. I do not believe that anyone can truly provide therapy from an objective lens and welcome your questions about how my training and lived experience inform the way we interact. I approach therapy from a relational, strengths-based, and person-centered lens. This means I will tailor our therapeutic work to your specific goals and strengths, allowing you to lead as the expert of your own experiences. I do not incorporate any particular structure into sessions and allow you to guide us to what feels relevant to you in the moment. My clients meet with me at all types of frequencies from twice weekly to once a month. This depends on the intensity of your mental health challenges, my current openings, and your processing style.

Denver, CO

I help students struggling with anxiety and ADHD gain confidence and develop skills that support their neurodiverse brains. People diagnosed with ADHD are more likely to experience challenges with anxiety, depression, disordered eating, and sleep disorders; this combination can make functioning day-to-day feel like an uphill battle. In our work together, we'll explore self-compassion, your beliefs about yourself and the world, and actions to take to help you feel better. For clients who struggle with ADHD, we'll find ways to improve your executive function skills and how to advocate for your needs as a neurodiverse person. Finding a therapist can be a daunting task, I offer a complimentary 15-minute, no-strings-attached initial consultation so you can decide if I fit what you're looking for. If I'm not a match, I'll provide referrals to other providers who might be what you're looking for.

Life has been so unpredictable these days. The constant ups, downs, and changes make us feel so depleted and uncertain. No matter how hard you try, it's like you can never regain your footing and are constantly stumbling along. You're not sure which way you are headed and you just want some clarity and direction. You want a space you can go to think through your thoughts and finally take a deep cleansing breath. Let's take that breath together and begin the process of finding your footing again. Based on my years of training, experience, and skills, I believe that the path to healing begins with you, your unique journey through life, and unbecoming parts that no longer serve you. In our work, I will walk with you through this healing journey to find who you are meant to become on the other side. It's time for you to take that deep breath and begin moving one foot in front of the other. You have struggled to find your direction long enough. Let's work together to find your footing again, and get back on your journey through life.
