Inner work is hard. I hope that my authenticity and humor create a brave space for others to bring their full selves to the session as well. I pull from numerous therapeutic modalities and tailor treatment to the client, however I tend to focus most treatment on mind body connection using a bottom up approach rather than a top down approach. I look forward to meeting you and walking alongside you as you navigate whatever treatment goals you bring to therapy.
The first session will focus on rapport building and information gathering about mental health history and current concerns to make sure we are a good fit.
Others I have worked with have described me as a warm, humorous, and an intuitive provider.
I work well with high performing women who are struggling with over-functioning and over-performing. I also work well with couples of color navigating unique challenges rooted in inter-generational trauma and who struggle with maladaptive coping skills due to feeling easily overwhelmed when trying to navigate conflict. While I work well with most people, these are areas I feel especially skilled in.

I’ve had a really positive experience working with my Jarae. She is authentic, patient, and creates a space where I feel genuinely seen and heard. I’m grateful for the support and highly recommend her to anyone looking for a therapist who is both real and compassionate.

Her calm responses and acknowledgment have created a more comfortable and safe space to express our emotions together in couples therapy. Whereas it felt that expressing emotion prior with other therapist was not dealt with.
