I am a South Asian therapist offering trauma-informed psychotherapy and couples counseling for adults. In my work, I integrate my clients’ strengths with their marginalized identities (race, ethnicity, class, gender identity, gender expression, sexual orientation, and/or religion). I also specialize in trauma-focused psychotherapy. I am LGBTQ2S+ allied and focus my practice on the needs of communities of color, including folks identifying as Black, Indigenous, Latinx, Arab, Middle Eastern, Asian, South Asian, and Pacific Islander.

My passion is conducting therapy with Asians, both immigrants and Asian-Americans. As a Taiwanese-American therapist, I am well-versed in the family dynamics of Asian culture. I am also experienced in dealing with parent-child conflicts between first-generation Chinese parents and their westernized second-generation teenagers and adult children. My work centers on helping parents and children recognize their cultural differences in order to better understand one another and maintain healthy relationships. Sessions may be in either Mandarin and English.

I began contributing to the helping fields since 2007 when I started working with families with special needs children. I spent a few years specializing in behavior therapy for children and adolescents with cognitive and emotional challenges. During school, I spent time interning at the Salvation Army's rehabilitation center in Anaheim CA. From that association sprang many years working with and specializing in the techniques that best serve comorbid and addiction issues. Many people feel addiction is a stand along issue; my experience has shown me that many more people have emotional pain at the core of addiction.

Therapy is your autonomous space - to explore things from a non-pathologizing lens, take a breath, and align with your innate values. I am passionate about creating a supportive alliance where clients can understand barriers to their stated goals, negotiate self-defeating patterns, enhance their relationships, embrace their true self, and develop an inner anchor of trust. Balancing the "macro" with effectiveness in the "micro" is a must.

It is a privilege to walk alongside those who come into my office, to learn their stories, their strengths, and their struggles, and to give them a safe place to learn about themselves and move toward growth and thriving.

Most clients come to me when they’ve reached a crisis or inflection point in their lives. Maybe you have recently experienced a traumatic loss, become a parent, or received a life changing diagnosis. The rug has been pulled out & you can't imagine how to move forward in this new reality. Or maybe your anxiety or trauma is holding you back from the life you want to live or the person you want to be. Parents may realize that the fears or behaviors their children are struggling with are beyond growing pains, but feel at a loss to help them. Whatever your reason, I am glad you found your way here.

Did you have to grow up too fast? From a young age, were you the one the adults in your life turned to for emotional support? Maybe you had to mediate fights between your parents in order to protect your siblings and yourself from stress and even danger. Maybe you had to rely on yourself for comfort when you were sad or scared because no one was available to be present for you. I wonder if you've noticed lately that the strong, reliable mini adult you were as a child now feels like an exhausted, lonely person, quietly carrying pain that no one can see. Perhaps that is even the reason you find yourself looking for a therapist today.
