Specializes in ADHD, Anxiety +7 moreIf you identify as polyamorous, kinky, queer/trans, or anti-capitalist, you likely know how normativity disciplines bodies, desires, and relationships. The costs of stepping outside dominant scripts can be high, especially when your ways of being or loving are labeled deviant or disordered. I believe “health” is not the same as “normal,” and that freedom is rarely granted—it must be created. Living at the edges of what’s socially sanctioned isn’t pathology; it’s often a deeply conscious and courageous choice.Next available:Tue Oct 13 @ 2AM

Specializes in Anxiety, Bipolar Disorder +13 moreSpeaks Mandarin ChineseHi, I'm a Licensed Clinical Social Worker based in Los Angeles who enjoys working with emerging adults and university students. I'm a certified cognitive therapist, so most of my clients come in because they want to work on decreasing unhelpful coping behaviors and increasing the use of helpful coping skills. Maybe you’re dealing with painful emotions by using strategies that–wait for it–generate more pain. Some of my clients feel so overwhelmed that not existing is starting to feel preferable. Others are managing unwanted, uncontrollable thoughts about horrible things that have happened or might happen. Many are figuring out who they are beyond societal and family expectations. Growth and self-discovery are awkward processes, so let’s walk into that awkwardness together and see if we can make things a bit more bearable. I would like to support you, challenge you, and be transparent with you about our process. Even if you are struggling, even if it feels like things will never get better, you are not broken. You deserve to live experiencing a complete and balanced spectrum of human emotions. No matter what, I hope that we can support each other in bringing out your full humanity.Next available:Wed Oct 14 @ 10PM

Specializes in Anxiety, Burnout +12 moreWe all know the importance of obtaining and maintaining our physical health. All too often our mental health, however, is overlooked, neglected, and taken for granted. By paying attention to your mind, body, and the context within which we exist we can begin to gain awareness and become mindful of the choices we can make every day. And even more still, the connection between our mind and body is ignored. I value and pay attention to the whole person. In a world where we can often feel disconnected, detached, and cut ourselves off from others, therapy can be a place where you start to put the pieces back together, by paying attention to the whole picture. I help focus you on your present experience which gives us a wealth of information to learn and grow from. I offer a supportive environment where your strengths and wisdom are acknowledged. I gently challenge you by offering honest and clear feedback while respecting where you are at and what you need. A good working relationship between therapist and client is crucial to effective therapy and therefore my approach is collaborative as we work together as a team to help foster growth and health.Next available:Wed Oct 14 @ 8PM

I believe that our wellness comes not just from physical health, but from spiritual health and mental health. I see therapy as a joint process in which the client’s own knowledge and skills are combined to create solutions. It's important for me to help clients make that connection in their healing journey and learn new skills that will help create healthy relationships. My goal is to empower clients to use their resources to improve their functioning through compassionate reflection. I have worked in various therapeutic settings including community mental health, court-mandated therapy, and crisis response with different modalities.
