You’re constantly juggling the demands of your job, your family, and your inner turmoil. You feel overwhelmed and exhausted. Ongoing stress, along with unpleasant past memories, weighs heavily on you, making it hard to feel at ease. You struggle with feelings of loneliness and helplessness, get caught in a cycle of people-pleasing, and interpersonal conflicts only add to your stress, leaving you feeling unworthy and unsupported. Perhaps you find it difficult to express your needs and vulnerability, and the defenses you put up only hurt your partner and push them further away. You feel lost and disconnected.

As a 2nd gen Asian-American born to immigrant parents, my cultural identity has been one of depth and confusion. Holding values from my parent’s home countries, mixed with my American values; it has widened my understanding of mental health from a cultural lens. I'd like to provide a space for those exploring their identities and culture and how it has played a part in your upbringing and development. I understand family values are important, but sometimes can conflict with our own individual goals and experiences. In the space, I hope you can feel comfortable to casually show up as you are.

As you grow and evolve as a person, you may have trouble finding balance between conflicting values, navigating two worlds or cultures, or growing into your own in the context of family.
My approach to therapy centers your personal and cultural values. If you feel held back from living the life you want because your anxious thoughts have too much power or take up too much time, I’d like to help. Sometimes these thoughts may be so obsessive yet difficult to share with anyone because they don't align with who you are - the very fact that they cross your mind can feel scary, weird, or embarrassing. I will help you confront and overcome them while using humor and being real with you in the process. Schedule a free intro call to get a sense of whether I'm the right therapist for you!

As a counselor, I play a role as a witness and a companion in this process. What a gift to be able to accompany a child on this journey, which leads to a greater understanding of themselves and others and a world that is a little less scary and confusing!

If you are seeking clarity or feeling stuck in the current chapter of your life, I am here to help. When approached with care and intention, these moments can lead to profound growth and life enrichment. Healthy change is a nonlinear process that begins with acknowledging the need for change and unpacking the power of loss & grief that comes along with it.

Family Therapy

What do family therapists do?

A family therapist facilitates the process of understanding and improving how a family functions. The therapist will help family members develop empathy for one another. They’ll seek to understand existing patterns, misunderstandings, and conflicts that arise, in order to help the family arrive at a realistic, unified understanding and develop the coping skills they need to build stronger relationships.

How long does therapy for families take to work?

Therapy manifests differently in every family; a common time frame is 12 weekly sessions, but some families may see improvement after just a few weeks. Families should discuss their goals with the therapist at the beginning of the process and periodically revisit those goals to assess their progress together.

How can you encourage a family member to attend family therapy?

You can encourage family members to attend therapy by expressing with both love and concern the challenges you see and explaining how a therapist could help the family navigate those challenges together. An outside perspective can help everyone feel heard, get on the same page, and develop new skills. If family members are still hesitant, it may be helpful to emphasize that family therapy is short-term—it won’t last forever.

Is therapy for families effective?

Family therapy can significantly improve family dynamics and relationships. Research suggests that family therapy can help individuals understand their role in the family, communicate and solve problems together, reduce conflict and draw boundaries when necessary, and develop coping skills for stressors, major life changes, and mental or physical illnesses within the family.
