Therapy for adults experiencing burnout and overwhelm—helping you set boundaries, build balance, and make yourself a priority. Do you often put the needs of others above your own? Maybe you feel overworked and find it hard to say no to family, friends, or at work. Putting yourself first can feel selfish, but it’s not—you deserve care, rest, and compassion. Like the oxygen mask reminder on an airplane, you must care for yourself first before helping others. You may be seeking space to process expectations, reconnect with yourself, and learn to prioritize your well-being. You don’t have to navigate this alone—healing is possible.
With 16+ years of experience, I provide trauma-informed, strength-based therapy rooted in cultural humility. I see clients as the experts of their lives and offer a safe, collaborative space to explore your story, set healthier boundaries, and develop a self-care plan that honors your needs and values.
As a Laotian American therapist, I understand the weight of cultural and family expectations. My goal is to create a warm, supportive space where you feel seen and heard. You deserve to put yourself first. If you’re ready to explore what balance and healing can look like, I’d be honored to walk alongside you.
