Living with ease and lasting change is within your reach.
I have a simple but profound belief: lasting change happens beneath the surface. Not through willpower or insight alone, but through deepening self- knowledge and the person’s awareness and integration of unconscious material, which leads to personal transformation.
My therapy style is spontaneous and intuitive to meet the needs of my clients. I weave together person-centered, psychodynamic, Jungian-informed therapy, humanistic, existential, mindfulness, cognitive behavioral therapy and attachment-based therapy. And as an Asian therapist fluent in English and Spanish, I know how the layered ways of culture, identity, and belonging shape our inner lives.
When it best suits my clients, I have found the effectiveness of specifically drawing together three interconnected approaches to support their process.
Jungian-Informed Therapy, including Sandplay: The Jungian approach to healing understands it as something that happens beneath the level of conscious thought. Through therapy, we bring these deeper layers into consciousness, uncovering the roots of patterns, struggles, and longings that may have felt mysterious or beyond our control. Rather than focusing only on symptoms, depth psychology asks why — exploring the meaning behind your experiences and helping you develop a fuller, more authentic sense of self.
Attachment-Based Therapy: Attachment-based therapy invites us to explore how our earliest experiences of being seen, held, and responded to shape the patterns we carry today. When we explore our own life experiences through this lens, we begin to understand how we relate to others, how we protect ourselves, and how we understand our own worth.
The inner child is the part of us that carries the original emotional imprint of our early experiences. When that part of us is wounded, we often feel it as anxiety, relational difficulty, a persistent sense of not-enoughness, or an inexplicable grief or restlessness we can't trace to any single cause. Through a depth-oriented approach, we meet that part of our self with the attention it needs.
Mindfulness: I integrate mindfulness as a pathway toward genuine attunement. Through mindfulness, we develop the capacity to notice our own inner thoughts, feelings, and reactivity without being swept away by them. That awareness creates a non-judgmental holding space; a place of stillness from which we can respond with wisdom and awareness rather than react.
My journey with the work of inner healing began in 2001. I hold a Master's in Marriage and Family Therapy and a Master of Divinity and bring together a spiritual-contemplative foundation with psychotherapeutic depth to support you towards emotional wellbeing and resilience.
If something in you is ready to go deeper, I'd be glad to walk alongside you.
