Wondering about something?
-
I set aside 30 minutes for consultations so we don’t have to rush. We’ll talk about what you’re looking for, and I’ll share about how I work. We can also discuss questions, scheduling, and fees.
You don’t need to explain everything perfectly. You can bring notes, pause to gather your thoughts, ask me to rephrase something, or join by video with your camera off.
This is simply a chance to see if we are a fit and there’s no pressure to decide right away.

That is completely okay, and sometimes those are my favorite sessions.
I tend to offer a menu: we can start with a short brain dump, I can name threads from previous sessions, or we can tune into a single feeling. If your mind goes blank or foggy, we work with the fog. If you have seventeen interconnected thoughts, we can untangle those too.
Some folks find it helpful to bring a notebook to session, or bring in ordinary moments that felt strangely sticky or charged.

I specialize in complex trauma, but I also work with people exploring masking, people-pleasing, social anxiety, belonging, and identity shifts.
Many of my clients identify as Asian/part of the Asian diaspora, queer (across sexuality and gender), highly sensitive or neurodivergent, or first/second gen Americans.
You don’t have to relate to every sentence on my website to reach out. If something here resonates, you can feel free to schedule a consultation.

Yes. I don’t believe there’s one correct way to be in therapy. We can talk about what helps your brain and nervous system settle and feel safe.
You’re welcome to look away, move or fidget, bring notes, take your time, or ask me to clarify what I mean. You can tell me when a question doesn’t fit, when fog has arrived, or when I’ve gotten something wrong.
-
Yes, though OCD is not the main focus of my practice. I’m trained in OCD treatment and can incorporate ERP or I-CBT when rumination, intrusive thoughts, checking, or chronic doubt show up alongside trauma and other concerns. My work tends to be broader and more integrative than CBT/ERP-only treatment.

50 minute sessions are $200,
75 minute sessions are $250.I don’t accept insurance directly, but I can provide a superbill for you to submit to your insurance company for possible out-of-network reimbursement. Reimbursement varies by plan, so I recommend checking your out-of-network benefits with your insurer.
I also keep a limited number of sliding-scale spots available for 50-minute sessions because I care about making therapy more financially accessible.

Sessions are typically 50 minutes and happen weekly to start. Depending on your needs, schedule, and budget, we can talk about a different frequency.
You can also choose a 75-minute session when it feels useful. Longer sessions can be especially helpful for deeper or more focused work, including some forms of trauma processing.
-
I ask for at least 24 hours notice if you need to cancel or reschedule a session. If you know sooner, I appreciate as much notice as possible.
I reserve your session time specifically for you, and with enough notice I may be able to offer that time to someone else. Late cancellations and missed sessions are charged the full session fee.

Yes. I care about making therapy financially accessible, so I keep a limited number of sliding-scale spots available. I use the Green Bottle method by Alexis J. Cunningfolk, a sliding scale framework designed as a tool for economic justice.
I ask clients to self-identify based on their financial circumstances rather than prove financial need. If you’re interested, I can share a copy of my sliding-scale policy so you can see how I structure it and decide what feels appropriate.
