I am a Licensed Mental Health Counselor Associate (LMHCA) and an Asian American woman born and raised in Hawai‘i. My work is grounded in a person-centered approach, honoring each client’s unique story and pace. While my graduate training at Northwestern University emphasized psychodynamic theory, I also draw from a wide range of therapeutic modalities to best support each individual. I strive to create a compassionate, collaborative space where clients feel seen, understood, and empowered in their journey of growth and healing.
Outside of counseling, I’m a photographer who loves capturing moments of connection and beauty, and I share life with my two dogs, Beanz and Cooper, who I can count on for cheer and a boost of energy!
Hey there!

I am attuned to the importance of culture and generational dynamics, and I strive to create space where clients feel their identities and lived experiences are seen and valued.

Responsive
I am proud to be an LGBTQIA+ allied therapist and committed to creating a safe, inclusive, and affirming space for all identities and relationships. Whether you’re exploring your identity, navigating coming out, or seeking support in your relationships, I strive to meet you with respect, openness, and care.
LGBTQIA+ Allied
I draw from Emotionally Focused Therapy (EFT) and the Gottman Method. EFT helps partners feel more connected by understanding and responding to each other’s emotions, while the Gottman tools offer simple, practical ways to communicate better, manage conflict, and strengthen your bond. Together, these approaches create space for healing and deeper connection.

FAQ
How much do sessions cost?
Sessions are typically 50 minutes. We can arrange to meet for longer if needed!
I am an out-of-network provider. You'll pay me directly, and if your insurance offers out-of-network benefits, you may be able to get reimbursed! I can provide a superbill (receipt) for you to submit to your insurance company.
My standard fee for individuals is $180, and $200 for couples and families. A limited number of sliding scale spots may be available — please ask if cost is a barrier.
