Description of Counselor/Practice

- Chronic stress - Anxiety and depression - Professional and academic burnout - Coping skills - Boundaries and relationship issues - Perfectionism - Life transitions - Identity development - Micro/Macroaggressios Therapy is a space to process and move through life’s burdens. The pressures of daily life are increasing for many of us. Work, school, and caregiving are demanding and oftentimes overwhelming. In addition, we have all been affected by a global pandemic, climate change, and social unrest. It’s easy to adopt a negative view of ourselves or the world. Perfectionism, imposter syndrome, burnout, low motivation, and procrastination are the results of ineffective coping with chronic stress. We can free ourselves from internalized negative stories by building insight into how we relate to the world. When we understand and accept ourselves, we are able to make lasting changes in our emotions and behaviors. My approach to therapy is both compassionate and practical. I integrate therapeutic techniques from CBT, DBT, humanistic therapy, body-based therapy, mindfulness, and art therapy. I help people address their present concerns and understand their past. Our work together will be affirming, nonjudgmental, compassionate, and transparent. I work with adults who are experiencing issues related to chronic stress, perfectionism, imposter syndrome, burnout, anxiety, depression, micro/macroaggressions, relationship issues, coping skills, creativity, and other concerns. BIPOC and LGBTQIA+ individuals are intentionally welcomed to my practice. Additionally, I have experience working with people who participate in kink, consensual nonmonogamy, and alternative lifestyles. I respect that your identity plays a significant role in therapy and will respect that in all of our work. I am femme, cisgender, mixed race, Asian American, and heterosexual. I graduated from Antioch University Seattle with a master’s degree in counseling and art therapy.
