About

I'm a therapist for capable people whose habits have quietly become the boss of them. If you've ever hidden a bottle, cleared a search history, or rehearsed an excuse on the drive home, you're in the right place. I began in university counseling and kept its best habit: assuming every client is bright, resourceful, and able to change. My approach is built on motivational interviewing, which trusts that you are the expert on your own life. Some clients thrive in twelve-step communities and others build recovery entirely their own way; I back both routes without an agenda. I'm glad to hold sessions in Mandarin. I hear from many women that they wanted someone who wouldn't need the story softened, and I don't. I'm unfiltered in the best sense: honest, specific, and squarely on your side. If any of this rings true, come say hello.
