Welcome! I'm so glad you are here. I work with clients, often Asian American/BIPOC, who want to try something new in order to know themselves more deeply and fully. Are you ready to engage in re-building fulfilling relationships - within yourself and with others? Using Internal Family Systems (IFS) therapy, my role is to be a collaborative, compassionate witness who supports you as you explore and connect with parts of yourself that have been pushed away or ignored. Experiences I often work with include anxiety, grief, and trauma which can be caused by painful relationships, stressful life changes, and family/cultural expectations.
These parts of you may be stuck in the same old beliefs or feel burdened by stories others have told you about yourself. Some of these parts can be attached to identities and cultures that are marginalized or rejected. You can build new relationships with these parts and release these stories and beliefs, which creates more freedom and choice for yourself.
IFS therapy empowers you to connect with yourself, family, friends and partners in healthy ways. I believe the change people want to see in their lives is rooted in connection. My sincere hope is that therapy with me is safe, intentional, and supports deeper connection. I would be honored to join you in healing your relationships with yourself & with others.

Groups
Coming Home Together {Currently On Pause}
Coming Home Together is a group for Asian American adults who are interested in exploring the relationship between Asian American identity and mental health. It can be hard to discuss mental health in Asian American communities, which feels very isolating. This group can be a great place to build connections with other people who have similar life experiences or interests. You will get to process your experience as an Asian American navigating mental health amidst family expectations, cultural tensions, and other influential factors with the support of a therapist and other group members.
