Your Trusted Psychotherapy Partner in Colorado
Since 2001, I have dedicated my practice to helping individuals navigate personal growth through psychotherapy rooted in systemic thinking and holistic approaches. My philosophy centers on guiding clients to discover their inherent strengths rather than focusing on pathology, fostering resilience through collaborative sessions that integrate mind-body awareness and creative expression. With specialized expertise in trauma, grief, attachment, and relationship dynamics, I serve both adults and children aged eight and above, offering tailored interventions that honor each client's unique journey. My background includes post-graduate training at Washington University in St. Louis, clinical experience in New York's municipal healthcare system, and leadership in coordinating sexual abuse treatment programs. As a bilingual practitioner originally from Hong Kong, I bring cultural sensitivity to my work while maintaining rigorous professional standards through ongoing education and self-care practices.My Colorado-based private practice provides the autonomy to prioritize client-centered care, supported by complementary modalities like yoga, qigong, and art therapy. I hold licenses as a Master of Social Work (MSW) and Licensed Clinical Social Worker (LCSW), ensuring adherence to ethical and professional benchmarks. My approach combines evidence-based techniques with somatic awareness, recognizing how physical experiences inform emotional well-being. While maintaining strict confidentiality, I create space for clients to explore difficult emotions through structured therapeutic frameworks and experiential learning opportunities. This practice remains committed to evolving with advancements in mental health research while preserving the fundamental human connection that makes healing possible.

Services
Trauma Therapy
Specialized treatment for trauma survivors using evidence-based approaches that integrate somatic awareness and cognitive restructuring. Our practice helps clients process traumatic experiences through personalized therapeutic frameworks that emphasize safety, empowerment, and holistic healing. With two decades of clinical expertise, we guide individuals toward reclaiming emotional stability and building resilience through structured interventions tailored to each person's unique needs.
Grief Counseling
Compassionate guidance through the grieving process that honors individual experiences while facilitating emotional processing. We employ specialized techniques to help clients navigate loss, whether from death, relationship changes, or life transitions. Our approach combines narrative therapy with mindfulness practices to support healthy coping mechanisms and eventual integration of the grieving experience into personal growth.
Relationship Therapy
Collaborative sessions designed to improve communication patterns and strengthen connections between partners or family members. We address relational challenges through systemic perspectives that examine interactional dynamics and attachment patterns. Our practice helps clients develop conflict resolution skills and foster deeper understanding through structured therapeutic exercises and emotionally focused interventions.
Mind-Body Therapy
Integrative approach combining traditional psychotherapy with body awareness techniques to address emotional distress. We utilize breathwork, movement, and mindfulness practices to help clients recognize physical manifestations of psychological stress. This modality enhances self-regulation capabilities and promotes holistic wellness through experiential learning that connects mental and physical well-being.
Creative Expression
Therapeutic use of artistic expression to explore emotions and facilitate self-discovery. Our practice incorporates various media and techniques to help clients communicate experiences that may be difficult to verbalize. This approach particularly benefits children and trauma survivors by providing alternative pathways for emotional processing and cognitive integration within a supportive therapeutic environment.
