Trauma and PTSD Therapists in San Jose, CA

Therapy is a joint effort. With a compassionate and empathetic approach, I provide trauma-informed therapy, creating a safe and supportive space for healing and growth. I work with clients that are struggling to get unstuck in their healing from pronounced trauma, PTSD, and C- PTSD. Often, clients come to me after years of talk therapy, unable to make any progress. I stay up-to-date on the latest research and insights of trauma informed care. After treatment, you will be able to move through your traumatic responses and live as a more integrated You.

Martin Luther King, Jr. said it best, "Out of a mountain of despair, a stone of hope." Challenges in life are inevitable and at times, there are challenges that seem larger than our ability to manage them. Issues such as depression, anxiety; healing from previous trauma, and abuse are areas that can grip us and prevent us from living our best lives.

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.

Focusing on adults, my approach to therapy is grounded in creating a safe and supportive space where you can explore your feelings, process your experiences, release trauma and painful emotions from your body and brain, develop skills to overcome challenges and make meaning out of the ups and downs of life.
Are trauma, anxiety and insecurity controlling your life, preventing you from pursuing your dreams and living life to the fullest? Do you relive the past as if it were happening right now? Your head knows better, but it fails to convince your heart otherwise. As horrible as those experiences were in the past, they continue to zap away your joy and confidence today. You might even avoid situations that trigger the feelings. Are there any lost part of you that you'd like to return to? Do others believe in your competence more than you believe in yourself? What would it be like if life was driven by passion and joy, not fear or shame?

I am a psychotherapist providing individual therapy services to adults. Many of clients who come to me are experiencing feelings of grief, sadness, anxiety, confusion about an area of their life, or difficulty in intimate or familial relationships. I also specialize in working with adults who are impacted by trauma. In my work I understand trauma as how we are impacted by the painful experiences in our lives and the ways in which those experiences shape the way we form relationships with others, with ourselves, and the degree to which we are able to find joy.
