Do you keep assisting others before securing your own oxygen mask? My clients are emerging professionals, high-achievers, leaders, people-pleasers, and perfectionists who tend to be successful in their professional lives but struggle in their personal relationships. While on the outside they seem to have it all together, inside they are plagued by guilt, shame, fear, and self-doubt. Sound familiar? In a culture that rewards perfectionism over genuineness, it’s no wonder so many struggle. My purpose is to correct this imbalance by empowering you to appreciate your humanity and embrace your authenticity.

I believe that people come to me with something that they've been struggling with and they can't see the solution because they're in the middle of it. They get "stuck" in a story that defines them or something about them and they need help moving beyond that. I am very practical in the work that I do - I believe that therapy should address the issue(s) that has you "stuck" and you need to learn how to move forward; we all need to live and function in this world and we want to be happy!

Many people feel like they’re “holding it together” while quietly struggling with stress, perfectionism, or self-doubt. Therapy offers a space to explore what’s happening beneath the surface, develop a more compassionate relationship with yourself, and create a life aligned with your values. I work with teens and adults facing eating disorders, anxiety, depression, life transitions, relationship challenges, and self-esteem concerns.

Our story affects the way we define our identities and give meaning to our lives. Sometimes our stories become a barrier to living our lives to the fullest and finding fulfillment in our relationships. I focus on empowering you to re-story your experiences so you can move out of limiting interpretations and arrive at, or renew, your preferred identity that is congruent with your values.

I have a strong interest in working with members of the LGBTQ+ community, as well as with people who are struggling with grief and loss. I have 6 years of experience working with families involved with the juvenile dependency court system. This work has taught me about the tremendous resilience, connection, and growth that I believe is available to us all. I have lived experience as a queer Asian-American from an immigrant family, and part of my interest in mental health has come from my desire to understand and help heal intergenerational traumas that can play out in seen and unseen ways in many of our lives.

You've carried something for a long time. Maybe shame around your sexuality, wounds from a relationship that crossed a line, or a life that doesn't fit neatly into the boxes others expect. Perhaps you're navigating an open or polyamorous relationship, healing from sexual trauma, or part of the sex worker community searching for a therapist who truly gets your world. You're ready to stop performing "fine" and start doing something real. I work with individuals and couples who are done minimizing their inner life and are ready to move through it with curiosity, not judgment.
