Welcome.
Many people carry emotional wounds from trauma, loss, divorce, conflict, or painful relationship experiences. These experiences can affect trust, self-worth, emotional reactions, and the ability to feel safe and connected with others.
Using attachment-based and trauma-informed approaches, I help clients better understand relationship patterns, process difficult experiences, and develop healthier and more secure ways of relating to themselves and others.
Areas of Focus
Over the past decade, I have worked extensively in the areas of attachment, trauma, grief, divorce recovery, and high-conflict family dynamics. I support individuals and families navigating:
-
Attachment and relationship trauma
-
Divorce and family transitions
-
Co-parenting conflict
-
Parent-child relationship difficulties
-
Reunification-related concerns
-
Betrayal trauma and emotional abuse
- Trauma and PTSD
-
Grief and loss
-
Court ordered evaluations
My Approach
My work integrates attachment-focused approaches, Brainspotting, EMDR, and other psychological strategies. Sessions are collaborative, supportive, and tailored to each client. Together, we work to calm your nervous system, build resilience, improve relationships, and support long-term healing and personal growth.
Education
Originally from Salt Lake City, Utah, I earned my Bachelor of Science in Psychology from the University of Utah and my Master’s degree in Clinical Psychology from Teachers College, Columbia University in New York City.
I later completed a PhD in Social Work and Social Administration at the University of Hong Kong, where I specialized in attachment and bereavement.
I also earned a Doctor of Psychology (PsyD) from California Southern University, where my research focused on burnout and psychological distress within family law attorneys.
Current Practice
I am a Registered Clinical Psychologist in Hong Kong, providing online psychological services and consultation. Services in Hong Kong include forensic reports such as mental health and custody evaluations. I currently reside in California, where I provide trauma and divorce recovery coaching and consultation throughout the U.S. and internationally.
