Welcome! I see clients both in-person and virtually. My approach is led by a belief that feeling deeply is what makes us human and that we all can benefit from shining light on areas that need more love and compassion on our healing journey. I specialize and work with clients who experience anxiety, people pleasing tendencies, perfectionism, self-esteem issues, relationship challenges (romantic, family and friends), and difficulties with regulating emotions. As a child of immigrants, I also hold space in sessions to discuss the impact of intergenerational trauma and ancestral burdens.

Most people come to therapy to find answers or deal with the realities that they cannot understand or accept. A therapist's job is to unravel the threads of multiple, mostly negative, conversations going on in the clients' minds and explore them together. Sometimes, just the validation, presence and security of being with a safe person lets the client heal. I help people with emotional, relationship and mood disorders. My approach is open, engaged and client oriented. Every client whom I see brings his own unique worldview and we explore it together.

Asian Counsellors
Why is it important for a therapist to be culturally sensitive?
A culturally sensitive therapist would be respectful and considerate of different groups, with regard to race, sexual orientation, gender, and other factors that are important to an individual. These considerations can help a client feel understood as well as validated. While some people think highlighting race could promote stereotypes and bias, more understanding and knowledge about cultural differences is a positive for a healthy therapeutic alliance.
How can I recognise an effective Asian therapist?
You can discern a lot by asking how familiar the potential therapist is with different cultures, as well as asking how they might address issues related to identity, values, and beliefs. Also inquire about their education, as well as any particular training they may have completed, such as cultural sensitivity or diversity and inclusion programs.
What if the therapist does not have my exact background?
The therapist may not share a client’s exact background, but the therapist may have plenty of hands-on experience as well as the sensitivity needed for therapeutic progress. Their sensitivity to different populations will help the client feel accepted and comfortable in sharing their concerns and difficulties.
How might I inquire about a therapist's experience with Asian clients?
A therapist with an Asian background may have experience within their community, as well as broader cultural sensitivity. Ask the potential therapist whether they've worked with individuals who share your background. If they have not worked with similar clients, they may well know someone who has such experience.
Who is included in Psychology Today's directory of Asian therapists?
The directory of Asian therapists includes professionals who have shared their ethnicity in their profiles. Psychology Today uses this information to assist clients in finding a therapist who can provide a cultural match. However, not all therapists choose to disclose their ethnicity in their profiles, and they may not appear in search results for this reason; also, when the number of therapists identified as Asian is limited, the directory will also show therapists with comprehensive experience working with clients from relevant backgrounds.
