Treatment Specialties: Anxiety, Behavior Issues, Depression, Groups ( Grief/Trauma), Life Transitions, Mood Disorder, Panic Disorders.
My goal is to help clients find healthy ways to understand the root cause of their internal conflicts which disconnect them from themselves and the world around them. I support clients with the development of deeper awareness in understanding how their anxiety manifests within their bodies as well as how our unresolved feelings will remain within us until we are ready to meet them. It takes courage to look internally, and I believe you are beyond courageous to do so.

I specialize in addressibg anxiety, depression, grief, and perinatal/postpartum issues.
I've been there. I've had days where it's hard to get out of bed... When you've laid awake yet another night trying to calm your anxieties and racing thoughts. When people tell you "Maybe you should talk to someone"... I've been there. Scrolling and looking at tons of therapist profiles to start a journey to find relief or to find a therapist that's a better fit. Yup. Been there.

As an Asian-American therapist, I aim to provide therapy that shows awareness and honors multicultural family dynamics, especially around boundaries, attachment, and loss.
Sometimes, we get stuck in patterns that might have been helpful at some point in our lives but are not so helpful to us now. These patterns show up in the ways we respond in our relationships, in work/school, to challenges, and to ourselves. We’ll approach therapy as collaborators to build up your skills and strengths to get you unstuck. In our work together, we'll gently explore the past, so we can create an action plan for a different future. We'll recontextualize what no longer serves you and make space for your curious, creative self to emerge.

My experiences and background allow me to best support individuals with managing grief, moving through life changes (particularly women pre/postpartum/mothers) and anyone wanting to learn how to look at life in a different way.
I believe therapy is the opportunity to be selfishly authentic in explaining how you're feeling and get feedback based on those thoughts that are hard to share with the people in your life. I'm not sure what brought you to look for a therapist, maybe a big change, losing someone or just feeling ready to see if a therapeutic relationship can help you move through some things but I'm glad you're here.
