Grief Therapists in San Jose, CA

My areas of specialty include anxiety, depression, parent/child relational problems, peer difficulties, grief, parenting/behavioral challenges, problems pertaining to school, and family conflict.
I am a licensed psychologist who has over 20 years experience working with adolescents and adults. Therapy is a collaborative process between therapist and client. I strive to create a supportive environment in which clients can feel safe to explore their feelings and address barriers that are interfering with their quality of life. I draw from a variety of treatment approaches that match your own personal needs and goals. I believe our thoughts influence our feelings and ultimately our behavior so I also work from a cognitive behavioral approach.

Since 2009, I have specialized in high-acuity trauma, various spectrum of depression & anxiety, system-impacted families, life transitions, grief & loss, and more! As a woman of color in a leadership, I strive to inspire & empower my fellow women to step out of their comfort zones, recognize their limits & potentials to be effective leaders in all domains!.
Founder of TriHealing Counseling Group. Like many "first-generationers", I experienced struggles with cultural and generational differences, the over-critical parent(s), the "never good enough" mentality, and a sense of emotional distance within myself and at times, within my relationship with my family. Through my own journey, I learned to challenge cultural norms, embracing my biculturalism and making decisions on how I wanted to experience the world as an independent Vietnamese-American woman. I often travel between San Jose and Chicago so I provide a hybrid of in-person and virtual therapy sessions.

I work primarily with teens and adults and specialize in a variety of presenting concerns: stress/anxiety, depression, grief/ loss, PTSD/trauma, body image/disordered eating, relationship difficulties/boundaries, career/life transitions. Some of us enter therapy with very specific goals, other times the goals become more clear as therapy progresses. Either way, something that is necessary is an openness and willingness to participate. I understand that therapy can be overwhelming in the beginning, and that is why my goal is first and foremost to always ensure that you as the client feel as safe and comfortable as possible.

Helping people live a more fulfilling and meaningful life is my passion, My areas of interest include depression, interpersonal relationships, anxiety, grief/ loss, identity development, LGBTQ issues, stress management, trauma, and polyamory.
Now more than ever people are feeling anxious, overwhelmed, and challenged by the many demands in our lives. Managing relationships, parenting, and work/life balance can leave us feeling lost and confused on how to move forward. And sadly, not addressing these challenges can lead us to feeling like we’re drowning and far from living a fulfilling life. We believe that it shouldn’t be so hard to live better. We can change for the better, and a lot of times, all we need is support, understanding, and hope to find those answers in a collaborative and comfortable environment.
