More About Ivy
I bring a warm, curious, and culturally attuned presence into the therapy room. My approach is integrative and client centered. I draw from Emotionally Focused Therapy (EFT), Narrative Therapy, and Internal Family Systems (IFS), tailoring the work to each client’s comfort and goals. As an international student and clinician, I have firsthand experience navigating life between cultures. This gives me a deep appreciation for how cultural, relational, and family dynamics shape who we are. My systemic lens helps me look beyond individual struggles to explore broader patterns, whether rooted in culture, intergenerational expectations, or relational cycles.
I enjoy working with individuals, couples, and families as they move through life transitions, relationship struggles, and questions of identity and belonging. I’m especially drawn to clients navigating multicultural or international dynamics, emotional overwhelm, or communication breakdowns. I also support parents of neurodivergent children and couples striving to stay connected while raising children with high needs. At the core of my work is a commitment to meeting clients where they are, with care, respect, and openness, and co-creating a space where they feel safe to reflect, heal, and grow.
Before training as a therapist, I worked in public accounting. That chapter taught me how the pursuit of excellence can pull us away from ourselves and the people we love. Choosing to enter the counseling profession was my way of realigning with what matters most to me: building genuine connections and holding space for others to be fully seen and heard. I believe therapy is a two-way journey: I learn as much from my clients as they do from the process, and it’s an honor to walk alongside them as they rediscover their inner clarity, strength, and self-compassion.
Outside the therapy room, I enjoy hiking, relaxing in natural settings, volunteering, or staying in with a good book or a new recipe. I’m also up for new experiences, whether it’s a spontaneous trip or meeting people from different walks of life.

Why see an Intern?
Feeling the need to see a therapist, but the cost is prohibitive? Do you wish you could see a mental health professional in a comfortable setting? Anchor Light Therapy’s internship program makes mental healthcare more accessible to all members of the community. It also provides mentorship and supervision for the next generation of therapists.
Things to keep in mind when scheduling with interns:
- Scheduling a consultation with one of our interns allows you to have a 20 minute conversation with them to make sure they are a good match, in order to achieve your therapy goals
- Intern therapy sessions are not infinite. These students will complete their internship after 1 year
- Interns are supervised by licensed clinicians. They may consult with these supervisors, who may then review your therapy notes
- Interns cannot bill insurance for therapy sessions. Therefore, if you would like to bill your out-of-network benefits for services please schedule a consultation with our licensed thereapists.
