I believe in empowering clients through self-acceptance, encouragement and providing skills such as mindfulness and other evidence-based techniques to help clients achieve their goals.

With the inclusion of mind, body, and spirit, my clients count on my to provide an honest and direct professional appraisal of their specific situations, and to offer realistic, holistic, and sometimes challenging guidance with insightful feedback.

Life can take unexpected twists and turns: Stress, depression, anxiety, and trauma may leave us feeling lost and overwhelmed. We may feel that we are selfish to put our own needs and feelings before others, making it difficult to move forward towards our goals and dreams. I am here to help! I work with adolescents and adults to identify negative feelings, thoughts, and behaviors, and move toward replacing them with healthy, positive habits.

As a licensed acupuncturist and Chinese Medical herbalist practicing since 1997, I offer gentle, effective care to people of all ages.

I understand how difficult life can be when your closest relationships are struggling. By looking for help, you have made a great step towards healing!

Are your early experiences shaping how you’re forming close relationships later in life? Do negative thoughts about yourself weigh you down? Do you find yourself ruminating about past or future rejections, or worrying about whether someone might judge you for not being perfect?

I can help by providing a safe, nonjudgmental space for you to gain awareness, increase your self-worth, build relationship skills, and decrease feelings of anxiety or depression.

I take a rational approach to unearthing the beliefs that may be operating deep within you, helping you understand what is influencing you. You can then knowingly re-pattern your thinking so you're more in charge of your world and can get on with life.

If you want to feel less anxious or depressed in the face of life's challenges, you are not alone. I work with adults of all ages, and I can put my skills to work to help you achieve more fulfillment, joy, and ease.

During my time as a therapist, I have discovered we are all trying to thrive while simultaneously doing life as peacefully as possible. I recognize this can get tricky at times, especially when we are feeling overwhelmed, stressed, burnt out, like we have lost our way, or even when we just start to notice things aren’t quite the way we’d like them to be.
