Teletherapy for California

Coming from an Asian American background, I understand what it's like to have limited options for therapists. Are you looking for a therapist who understands the intersection of race/ethnicity, culture, and sexuality and its influence on your mental health? Have you found yourself more anxious around people, topics, or transitions in your own life? Are the ongoing disruptions from the pandemic or world events something that has made it harder to maintain connection with others? My goal in therapy is to navigate these complex stories and empower you to create meaningful change in your life.

If you have ever felt overwhelmed, frustrated, lost, or that no one understands, you are not alone. We all have issues and need some form of tune-up every now and then. No problems are too large or too small to seek therapy. I work with children, teens, adults with various concerns including depression, adjustment issues, bereavement, anxiety, substance abuse, spiritual issues, major axis 1 disorders, and personality disorders. I specialize in working with Asians, Asian Americans, and Pacific Islanders but also work with all populations. My therapy is individualized and tailored to the person and the presenting issue.

Life can be difficult when we face unexpected circumstances and challenges. Help is available and change IS possible. I believe in a compassionate, genuine and traditional therapy approach - collaborating with you, meeting you where you are at and being a pro-active and supportive companion on your journey to success. By partnering with you, I treat you wholly - not only focusing just on the symptoms - and help you set and achieve all your goals. Together, each session’s intention is to create meaningful progress and change that is inline with your ultimate goal. We can do this in either Vietnamese and/or English.

Starting therapy is difficult and scary; however, you do not have to do it yourself. I understand it is also vulnerable to share your stories with a stranger. Therapy is a space where you can feel safe being yourself. With sincerity, I strive to build that safe environment for you and work collaboratively to find yourself. I also understand being in a relationship and, or keeping a relationship might be difficult and tiring. I can work together with your partner to help you both understand each other in a deeper connection and learn to communicate better.

Oftentimes, we are told to just be our genuine self, but that is so hard to do when societal standards, cultural norms, familial expectations set limits and boxes for us to fit into as well. These restrictions and boundaries only then muffle and silence the voices we have inside of us. This silencing and censoring can develop internal messages within us that we are unloveable, never enough, and not worthy of being authentically you. Feelings of anxiousness, nervousness, sadness, and loneliness may arise alongside these thoughts which make it difficult to get a good night's rest or enjoy your favorite hobbies.
