Services

My services include compassionate and client-centered individual and couples/polycules psychotherapy that can be short- or long-term oriented once we collaboratively set clear and agreed-upon goals. I am offering both in-person and virtual therapy services at this time.
​

I work very collaboratively with individual adult clients facing sexual and/or gender spectrum identity concerns, ethnic minorities/BIPOC individuals, queer and transgender BIPOC, 1st and 2nd generation Asian Americans, emerging/young adults, young professionals, family conflicts, sexual intimacy, social anxiety and social dissatisfaction, body image issues, and grief & loss.

Some "client types" that I work best with:
  • Bi+ women, men, and non-binary individuals
  • Married monogamous bi+ individuals
  • ​​Young professional 1st/2nd gen Asian Americans

​​My work entails actively exploring your emotional concerns, identifying your personal goals and challenges, and moving through the distress and pain. There is only one way out - which is through!

I offer couples & polycules psychotherapy for adults in serious romantic relationships or marriages, be they monogamous or polyamorous/ethically non-monogamous, especially LGBTQ couples, mixed orientation relationships and marriages, and relationships with a partner experiencing a gender transition. I am also kink/BDSM-knowledgeable. ​

I provide a good balance of a gentle and active style while providing insight, support, and guidance on issues of communication skills, conflict resolution, sexual intimacy, and balancing difficult decisions regarding cohabitation, marriage, and parenting. My goal is to help renew and improve the joy, closeness, and harmony in your romantic relationships.
