I have openings for new clients now, online sessions only. Tired of scrolling through therapist profiles? I am an empathetic therapist who "gets it" & provides immediate & long term solutions for carrying too much, giving too much, over-thinking & exhaution. I provide safety for you to discover feelings, express them & be empowered. Or maybe you need help healing from parental/relationship narcisissistic abuse, to retrain your nervous system to reset & stay calm. Perhaps you want to learn respectful communication skills between multicultural Asian immigrant parents & first generation born in the U.S.
My Asian face provides you reassurance that I do understand Asian culture. Using narrative & family systems therapy I help Asian/Asian Americans communicate w/traditional immigrant parents, navigate acculturation, establish worth, identity, belonging, reducing guilt/shame. I specialize in narcissistic abuse recovery using somatic therapy, EMDR, CBT.
Feeling better, healing your closest relationships, hope for the future doesn't have to take forever. Please feel free to reach out and email me. It takes a lot of courage just to get started; keep up the good work! Remember: keep hope in your heart and peace will follow.

I use cognitive behavioral therapy to challenge trauma-induced anxiety & rumination, adding uplifting truths to challenge negative thinking. I also use narrative therapy to understand a client's history, culture, relational & spiritual background to promote insights and lasting change in how they view themselves and how they relate to those dearest to them.
