I am an EMDR therapist who helps strong, independent and sensitive people get unstuck from the same rollercoaster of emotions and patterns. On your good days, you feel positive about yourself and where you're headed in life. Other times, you are weighed down by anxiety, depression, overwhelm, and negative thoughts about yourself or something that happened to you in the past. And this gets in the way of you thriving in work/career, relationships, school, and more. Maybe you've even gone to therapy in the past; while it did help, you still feel stuck in a loop of negative emotions and are just ready to move forward.

I help people accelerate their healing through EMDR. Instead of venting from week to week, EMDR allows you to heal on a deeper, emotional level so that you can see shifts in your life now. We work together to tailor the process to your unique needs, get to the root of your anxiety, overwhelm, or trauma, and ultimately break old patterns for a happier life.

As your therapist, I will be with you the whole way while we build your healing plan together. As a 2nd-gen. Chinese American, former marketing exec., Highly Sensitive Person, and INFP, I know that this life comes with history, toxic environments and emotional inheritance. But I do believe that change and freedom are possible. Let's start your healing today!

My style is warm and kind yet also direct. I balance nonjudgmental listening with active input and observations to help you catch your blind spots. We'll look at the internal conflicts you're facing and find new ways to heal. Therapy with me also has a lot of fun and laughter too. I'm glad you're here.
