Hi Hi! With a little support, healing begins. I’ve had the privilege of working with individuals of all ages in a variety of settings over the past several years. I believe in meeting people where they are at in their journey and that when people have an enjoyable experience in therapy they will continue to put in the hard work to meet their goals. I also recognize that therapy can be challenging, hard, and vulnerable, therefore I create a safe space through laughter and fun. Connection is also important, building a solid relationship with clients, learning their interests and hobbies, and getting to know you for who you are.
My approach is grounded in trauma-informed care and blends play-based and strengths-based practices. I believe in meeting people where they are and supporting them as they work toward their goals. I’m certified in Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT), and trained in Trauma-Focused Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (TF-CBT).
I identify as an Asian American therapist and an ally to the LGBTQ+ community. I strive to practice with cultural awareness and sensitivity. I believe it’s important to care for yourself first; only then do you have the energy and ability to care for others—if and when you choose.
