Many of the clients I work with feel overwhelmed, stuck, or uncertain about their next steps. They may be experiencing depression, anxiety, or stress, navigating life transitions, or exploring questions around identity, meaning, and purpose. Often, they are carrying the impact of cultural expectations or systemic stressors that make it difficult to feel grounded or understood. Clients often seek therapy as a space to slow down, reflect, and talk through what feels hard to name. I value this work because it allows me to support people in making sense of their experiences and building lives that feel more aligned.
I offer a holistic, strengths-based approach that considers mental, emotional, and physical well-being, as well as relationships, culture, and environment. I draw from CBT, Motivational Interviewing, Narrative, and mindfulness-based approaches, and incorporate existential themes and radical healing principles focused on identity and cultural context.
I work primarily with adults, with particular experience supporting Asian American and Pacific Islander (AAPI) and LGBTQI individuals. I aim to create a respectful, affirming space where clients feel heard and supported. I offer telehealth sessions with limited availability on weekday evenings. Inquire via email, which is preferred.
