Patients often tell me how they feel frustrated, hopeless, lost, and exhausted by the time they seek out a therapist. Many folks in my practice are Asian American adults who experience painful conflicts within their family of origin that lead to separation, emotional distance, or even estrangement.

Therapy can give you a space to speak freely and listen to yourself in new and different ways.

I assist people in finding ways to triumph over the difficulties of living in healthy relationships.

I promote growth and healing through compassionate insight, reflection and strategic direction!

I enjoy being a contributing factor to others growth and advancement and relish witnessing the blossoming of added confidence, enhanced self-esteem. and true growth!
