I believe that everyone should have the opportunity to engage in intentional self-reflection at some point in their lives, whether they are experiencing a significant life event, a transition, or the routine challenges of day-to-day. Within the context of a warm, collaborative, and compassionate therapeutic relationship, I will work alongside you as you learn more about your own feelings and habits, and gain deeper awareness of where they come from. My areas of interest include mood and anxiety disorders, relationship concerns, and helping individuals heal from experiences of trauma, including interpersonal violence and adversity.

I provide a supportive, compassionate space to explore, understand and address distress and mental health disorders related to life transitions, strengthening relationships, regulating emotions, or developing greater self-compassion. Life transitions, stress, and uncertainty can feel overwhelming, especially when paired with anxiety, ADHD, or self-esteem challenges are my clinical interest. I tailor each session to meet your unique needs, drawing from approaches such as Acceptance and Commitment Therapy, Dialectical Behavior Therapy, psychodynamic and interpersonal work, motivational interviewing, and multicultural perspectives.

I see clients who strive toward an authentic self, seek personal growth to achieve their full potential. I have expertise in issues with anxiety, depression, and trauma and practice clinical interventions that are strength-based and solution-focused. Aligning treatments with clients' cultural and personal background is fundamental to my approach. Through deep listening a tailored treatment plan is created. I believe that psychological and behavioral problems are expressions of pain and efforts to cope with unacceptable environmental demands and consider therapy an important step in restoring resilience and making healing possible.

Entering a new phase of your career? Feeling stuck at work or in your personal life? Deciding whether to make a big change of some sort? Trying to set yourself up for success in a new phase of your life or career? Facing some big financial decisions? Our personal lives and careers are full of inflection points, where choices we make and events that impact us can change the course of our life in impactful ways. Inflection points are often stressful, but also provide opportunities to examine our identities, our relationships, and how we want to live our lives. You don’t have to navigate these moments without support.

You might feel anxious, overwhelmed, or stuck in your own head, even while continuing to function at a high level. You get things done and show up for others, yet your mind doesn’t slow down. You replay conversations, overthink decisions, or carry constant pressure that’s hard to turn off. Part of you feels like you should be able to handle it, which makes it harder to talk about.
I work with individuals facing this kind of stress. For many, past trauma, grief, or shame still shows up in how you think and relate. Many are professionals, students, expat/TCK, LGBTQIA+, POC, and others navigating transitions, identity, and belonging.

The foundation of my approach is rooted in social justice and liberation frameworks. This means an acknowledgement, honoring, and connecting of how our individual and collective communities’ histories, the histories of our ancestors, and cultural backgrounds and identities influence our current lived experiences. My approach to therapy is integrated and holistic— mainly informed through psychodynamic (insight-oriented), somatic (body-focused), and interpersonal process interventions. At times, I might use Cognitive-Behavioral Therapy or Exposure and Response Prevention therapy approach if it is a better for my client.

I specialize in working with individuals navigating anxiety, disorganized attachment, relationship challenges, and identity development, especially within the context of South Asian, immigrant, and collectivist cultural dynamics.
Life can feel especially heavy right now. Many people are navigating anxiety, burnout, relationship tension, identity questions, and the pressure to keep moving forward in a world that feels demanding and uncertain. These struggles often show up during periods of transition, especially when you’re redefining a sense of self in a new stage of life. This weight is frequently compounded by cultural expectations, intergenerational pressure, and the ongoing negotiation between personal needs and family or community roles. I work with individuals and couples who feel overwhelmed, pulled in different directions and seek emotional clarity.

5 generation Vietnamese-American.
Because many of us experience hurt in relationships, we need to heal in relationships where we feel seen, heard, respected, and can experience trust and safeness. I guide and co-create compassionate therapeutic space, primarily with queer people of color and adult children of immigrants navigating grief and loss (particularly non-death related) and healing from generational wounds and trauma. I support folks out of burnout and isolation and towards deeper love and authentic connection with themselves and their chosen communities.
