On the surface, you appear to have it all...a solid career, good friends, a partner or family. On paper, your life is going well. But when you’re alone, anxiety, self-doubt, and restlessness creep in. You feel conflicted, drained, guilty. You compare yourself to others, ruminate on past mistakes or imperfections, and wonder if you’ll ever feel at ease in your own skin, or if you’re enough. You’ve spent so much energy trying to meet others' expectations and pleasing everyone else that it’s hard to even know what you want. Somewhere along the way, you lost sight of who you are, where you’re headed, and why you're working so hard.
I help Asian Americans in NY, NJ, and MA get unstuck and reclaim their identity, time, and energy. Together we'll explore the why behind your patterns, work through past experiences that still affect you today, develop lasting resilience, and strengthen your sense of self and self-trust. This is the foundational work of healing, self-discovery, and growth.
As a 2nd generation Taiwanese American, career changer, and digital nomad, I understand the complexities of navigating various identities and expectations. If this resonates, let’s talk. Schedule a complimentary consult and take the first step toward feeling better. I’d be honored to help you reshape your life story to create more ease, fulfillment, and joy.

I'm not in-network with any insurance providers, which means you should clarify if your provider covers out-of-network therapy. You may be able to receive 60-80 percent reimbursement after meeting your deductible. Insurance is confusing to navigate; please feel free to reach out for assistance!
