Do you feel exhausted by a constant inner critic, whether through overthinking, people-pleasing, or perfectionism? You may have learned to put your needs aside to stay productive, achieve more, or avoid rejection. If this feels familiar, you are not alone. You deserve a gentler, more compassionate way forward. I specialize in supporting individuals navigating anxiety, low self-esteem, grief, codependency, infertility, and racial identity. My practice offers trauma-informed, identity-affirming care for AAPI, immigrants, and LGBTQIA+ individuals.
Together we'll learn to quiet the inner critics that keep you stuck and take compassionate steps toward the life you want. Using evidence-based approaches, I will help you make choices from a calm, grounded mind. We will also explore how your trauma history and the sociocultural factors around you have shaped your story, opening the door to lasting healing.
If you want a safe, welcoming space to grow and heal, I offer a gentle, collaborative approach that meets you where you are. With over 15 years of counseling experience, I’m committed to providing high-quality, affordable care. You don’t have to do this alone. Let’s soothe your wounded self and begin the change you’ve been longing for. Feel free to reach out
