What I Offer

I take a holistic approach to therapy, blending relational gestalt, depth psychology, and somatic healing practices. My work is rooted in a person-centered approach, encouraging a space where you can learn to listen to the language of your body and integrate it with your thoughts and emotions.


Together, we’ll explore the deep connections between your inner world and your lived experiences, uncovering pathways for healing and growth so you can move forward with greater clarity and authenticity.

Hakomi is a style of somatic therapy (you might be familiar with related modalities like Somatic Experiencing) that taps into the mind-body connection to gently access memories & insights that lie just out of reach.

Hakomi Mindful Somatic Psychology

Popularized by Internal Family Systems (IFS), parts work is based on the understanding that we exist in multitudes. Sometimes, our psyche has conflicting needs. Reconciling these parts can support in finding insights & inner-harmony. 

Parts Work

Depth work uncovers the underlying beliefs and patterns that lie below our conscious understanding. Through a trauma-sensitive lens, we acknowledge the unknown. Above all, we go slow to go fast. Through trust-building and gentle inquiry, the goal is to access the deeper well that lies within the psyche.

Other Common Questions

  • It depends! During our first session, you can share your curiosities about the work or talk about your favorite things, and I'll generally offer a few foundational questions to get us started.

    My highest intention is for us to get an authentic feel for this work, establish our relational dynamic, and slowly start to unpack all that you're bringing in. I believe in long-term work that builds on a solid therapeutic relationship.

    Over time, you might notice more of a rhythm to our weekly sessions but, as a humanistic therapist, there isn't really a set structure for us to follow like you'd see in CBT/DBT therapy. This is because I don't see you as a collection of symptoms to be treated. You're a unique, complex human being and I fully honor that.

    I'm committed to staying current with contemporary research and best practices through ongoing training, which means the work we do together is informed by both relational depth and evidence-based approaches that support real, measurable change.

    The one thing you can expect consistently is warm, collaborative co-processing & permission to be your full self. In other words, I want our dialogue to feel like you're talking to a real person.

    Week to week, I'll bring in some (appropriately timed) humor, deep compassionate listening, and a humanizing come-as-you-are approach.

  • Consent is a very important part of my practice and I firmly believe that a strong relationship with your therapist allows for the deepest level of transformation.
    As such, I will likely check in with you for the first few weeks of our work together to see how you are feeling about our sessions.
    Generally, the first two sessions are also an invitation for both of us to test the waters.
    At any point in the process, you are welcome to let me know if something isn’t working — I would delight in supporting you to exercise your wise inner voice and make your needs known, whether that means changing things up in our work or helping you find a therapist/practitioner who might be a better fit.

  • Sessions are offered in English. I can also speak conversational Korean, survival Spanish, and very rusty French.

    If you need a therapist who speaks sign, some directories like Inclusive Therapists have a search option for ASL.

  • The first step is to reach out for a consultation call. If I haven't answered a question on this page, a great time to ask is during the consult. From there, if you decide that you want to work with me, you can let me know and we can set up an initial appointment. Once we have a date & time confirmed, I'd send over the intake paperwork via email.
