Reaching out to a therapist is hard. So first, take a moment to commend yourself for prioritizing your wellbeing - it is difficult, even for me as a therapist! I believe that we all have a desire for genuine relational connection. However, our past experiences (eg. oppression, trauma, relational disconnections) inform our strategies of survival (eg. perfectionism, addiction, avoidance), which paradoxically leave us feeling dysregulated, isolated, or stuck in painful relationships. I see therapy as a space where you and I can co-create an open & authentic relationship, which will help us explore and heal your current life stressors.

I also focus on identity exploration (particularly for Asian American and BIPOC individuals), neurodiversity, and trauma (including childhood and intergenerational trauma).
Healing begins in the safety of a trusted relationship and my aim is to create a space where you feel fully supported. I utilize different evidence-based and trauma-informed practices to cater to your unique ways of understanding your story and experience. This includes brainspotting, mindfulness, CBT, play-based therapy, and attachment-based therapy.

On the outside you’re doing well, but internally something still feels off. If you feel stuck in the same patterns of overthinking, people-pleasing, struggling in your relationships, feeling burnt out yet still never “good enough,” you’re not alone. I work primarily with adults in the professional world and students in graduate school – people who are accustomed to being capable and independent, yet still feel overwhelmed, anxious, disconnected, or unsure how to create meaningful, lasting change. I work best with individuals who are curious about themselves, motivated, and ready for more than just surface-level coping.

While the journey to self-discovery is a life long process, we can utilize the power that comes from knowledge of self, our relationships, and experiences, to make the best choices for our most authentic selves. This can also bring awareness to what parts of ourselves need curiosity, nurturance, awareness, and integration.
My clients often hold multiple intersecting marginalized identities including BIPOC, AANHPI, SWANA, queer and trans folx, neurodivergent folks, individuals in non-monogamous relationships and in the Kink/BDSM community.

Asian Therapists
Why is it important for a therapist to be culturally sensitive?
A culturally sensitive therapist would be respectful and considerate of different groups, with regard to race, sexual orientation, gender, and other factors that are important to an individual. These considerations can help a client feel understood as well as validated. While some people think highlighting race could promote stereotypes and bias, more understanding and knowledge about cultural differences is a positive for a healthy therapeutic alliance.
How can I recognize an effective Asian therapist?
You can discern a lot by asking how familiar the potential therapist is with different cultures, as well as asking how they might address issues related to identity, values, and beliefs. Also inquire about their education, as well as any particular training they may have completed, such as cultural sensitivity or diversity and inclusion programs.
What if the therapist does not have my exact background?
The therapist may not share a client’s exact background, but the therapist may have plenty of hands-on experience as well as the sensitivity needed for therapeutic progress. Their sensitivity to different populations will help the client feel accepted and comfortable in sharing their concerns and difficulties.
How might I inquire about a therapist's experience with Asian clients?
A therapist with an Asian background may have experience within their community, as well as broader cultural sensitivity. Ask the potential therapist whether they've worked with individuals who share your background. If they have not worked with similar clients, they may well know someone who has such experience.
Who is included in Psychology Today's directory of Asian therapists?
The directory of Asian therapists includes professionals who have shared their ethnicity in their profiles. Psychology Today uses this information to assist clients in finding a therapist who can provide a cultural match. However, not all therapists choose to disclose their ethnicity in their profiles, and they may not appear in search results for this reason; also, when the number of therapists identified as Asian is limited, the directory will also show therapists with comprehensive experience working with clients from relevant backgrounds.
