“The courage to change is the courage to be a stranger to yourself.” We say we want to evolve, yet we cling to habits that keep us small. Why? Because the "old you"—even if miserable—is predictable. Change is disorienting because it requires us to step into a life we haven’t rehearsed. If you sabotage your growth just as things shift, you aren’t "broken". You are likely operating on an internal blueprint designed to protect you from pain, abandonment, and conflict. Your brain is pulling you back to the "unhappy familiar" because it believes staying stuck is safer than moving forward. My goal is to help you uncover the invisible scripts that keep you stuck. We bypass the cycle of "trying harder" by addressing the identity your habits are fiercely protecting. Real change isn’t a cosmetic fix; it's the brave process of letting go of who you were to make room for who you are becoming. In session, we will work on: The Fear of the New: Navigating the "liminal space"—the middle ground where the old you is gone, but the new you doesn't feel like home yet. Identity Deconstruction: Identifying the stories you tell yourself and testing their validity. Nervous System Regulation: Learning to stay present when the "alarm bells" of change ring. Developing Sovereignty: Moving from victimization to empowerment, where you are finally the one making the decisions. Results for my clients often look like: The "Pause" Reflex: Noticing the urge to self-sabotage in real-time and choosing a new response before auto-pilot takes over. Narrative Shift: Moving from a language of past failure to a focus on current capacity. Tolerance for the Unknown: Feeling "steady ground" even when circumstances are shifting. Internal Alignment: The friction between your intentions and your actions begins to disappear.

More information on payments and coverage

Payment is due after each session and will be charged with your card on file for any portion of patient responsibility. Receipts will be provided at the time of the charge. This typically takes place 2-4 weeks after the session, once your insurance has had a chance to process the claim. We try our best to verify eligibility, but it is ultimately your responsibility to check coverage and out-of-pocket costs for services. For out-of-network visits, you will be billed at the provider’s self-pay rate, and we can provide an invoice for you to submit to your insurance for potential out-of-network reimbursement based on your plan’s benefits.

I've never felt so invalidated nor burdened than I did after this therapy session... and I am a seasoned therapy-goer.
Video visit
Very cool and nice personality felt comfortable with her right away
Yang is great to talk to. She is a great listener.
Don’t waste your time. She doesn’t bother to even pretend like she cares about you. She somehow made me feel 10x worse than before my appointment
Video visit
This experience was extremely discouraging for someone who is seeking help. I felt like a burden and overall worse after each therapy session. If this was my first experience with therapy, I'd probably never go back.
