You are not broken. You are becoming.
The past shapes how we love, grieve, and understand ourselves. If you’ve ever felt caught between expectations, navigating belonging, or carrying unspoken emotions, you are not alone.
As a second-generation Asian American, I know our stories are layered—woven with resilience, love, and sacrifice. Culture and family can be sources of strength, yet they may also shape how we connect, protect, and express ourselves. Healing isn’t about letting go of where you come from; it’s about honoring your experiences, understanding their impact, and allowing yourself to grow into who you truly are.

You’ve worked hard, played by the rules and did everything you were supposed to do. So why do you feel stuck or so empty? You’ve looked for some sort of answer on your own. Your shelf is scattered with half-read self-help books. You’ve spoken to coaches and even therapists but it hasn’t made much difference. You ask yourself why can’t I figure this out, is this simply the way life is? Maybe there’s something wrong with me that will keep me feeling unfulfilled forever? But deep down you know there’s more to life than this, and you aren’t ready to give up.

I’m a licensed Clinical Psychologist in California and have assisted people over many years with a variety of problems and issues. These have included psychological challenges such as depression and anxiety, as well as behavioral challenges such as adopting and maintaining healthy behaviors and a healthy lifestyle. Although these problems often call for different approaches, they share some important elements. We often end up feeling badly about our own thoughts, feelings, or actions and they often do not seem to make sense.

"I can be changed by what happens to me, but I refuse to be reduced by it."- Maya Angelou. Often when being faced with the choice to seek help, sometimes there is embarrassment of needing that help.

The past can strengthen us with its lessons, but it's a crime when it destroys our beautiful souls under its shame. I specialize in Eating Disorders, PTSD, Trauma and Children.

My approach is evidence based and draws from CBT, ACT, and ERP.
Life can feel overwhelming when anxiety takes over your thoughts and your body will not settle. You may struggle with constant worry, panic attacks, intrusive thoughts, OCD related mental loops, or difficulty sleeping due to anxiety. Many of my ideal clients are high functioning adults who appear put together on the outside but feel mentally exhausted, stuck in fear driven patterns, or disconnected from themselves and others. Some are also navigating questions of identity, belonging, or connection and want to feel fully understood.
