Therapy for Individuals & Relationships in California & Maryland
More clear, focused, and equipped—professionally and personally—with insight and steady guidance to move forward in alignment with your values and your humanity.
Our sessions will be…
-
Compassionate & Real
A space where your full humanity is welcomed—no need to perform, edit, or minimize what you’re carrying.
-
Targeted & Flexible
We’ll focus on what matters most to you, using practical tools and values-based direction to support meaningful, sustainable change.
-
Culturally Responsive & Integrative
Blending ACT, CBT, and cultural humility to support your healing in a way that honors both science and lived experience.
You don’t have to hold it all alone.
In individual therapy, we create a space that’s real—not performative, not perfect. Whether you’re moving through grief, anxiety, burnout, identity shifts, or the quiet ache of disconnection, our work begins with where you are. No fixing. No forcing. Just room to explore what hurts, what matters, and what’s next.
I draw from Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT), self-compassion practices, and culturally responsive care to help you notice patterns, expand flexibility, and reconnect with the parts of you that have been overlooked or pushed aside.
Therapy can be a place to feel seen, supported, and gently challenged. You don’t have to be in crisis to begin. You just have to be ready to stop pretending you're fine.
When the same fight keeps happening, it’s usually about something deeper.
Every couple gets stuck sometimes. You might feel like roommates, argue about the same things on repeat, or wonder how you drifted so far from where you started. Couples therapy offers a space to slow down, understand what’s really happening between you, and find your way back to each other.
Together, we can work on:
Communication that keeps turning into conflict or shutting down
Rebuilding trust and emotional closeness
Life transitions like becoming parents, moving, career changes, or loss
Stress around fertility, pregnancy, or the postpartum season
Different needs around intimacy, family, culture, or finances
Deciding whether, and how, to move forward together
How we’ll work:
I draw on Emotionally Focused Therapy (EFT) to help you map your conflict cycle and name the needs underneath it, and Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) to help each of you act from your values, even in hard moments. Along the way, I meet briefly with each partner individually, then bring that understanding back into our joint sessions. I hold a no-secrets policy, so the work stays honest and centered on the relationship.
Sessions are virtual for couples in Maryland and California. Both partners can join from the same room or from separate locations.

FAQs
-
The first session is a chance for us to get to know each other. I’ll ask about what’s bringing you to therapy, your goals, and any relevant background. It’s also a space for you to ask questions and get a sense of how I work. There’s no pressure to dive into everything all at once—just a conversation to see if we’re a good fit.

Therapy is most effective when it feels safe, collaborative, and aligned with your needs. If you’re looking for a therapist who blends evidence-based practices like ACT and CBT with cultural responsiveness and a grounded, compassionate approach—I may be a good match. I offer free 20-minute consultations so you can explore that before committing.

I’m in-network with Lyra and Modern Health, and I also provide superbills for out-of-network reimbursement. I offer a sliding scale for a limited number of clients through the Lotus Therapy Fund (for AAPI-identifying individuals) and direct pay options for greater privacy and flexibility.

Yes—research shows that virtual therapy can be just as effective as in-person therapy for many people. It also allows you to access care from the comfort of your home. All sessions are conducted through a secure, HIPAA-compliant platform, and we’ll work together to create a space that feels safe, present, and focused—even from a distance.
