You may be someone who has always held a lot together — for your family, your relationships, your work, or the people around you. You're used to being the one others rely on, even while quietly struggling. Over time, that can leave you feeling exhausted, disconnected, or unsure of what you actually need. Many of the clients I work with are navigating anxiety, people-pleasing, identity questions, or the pressure of balancing their own needs with cultural, familial, or relational expectations. Some feel caught between who they were expected to be and who they're becoming. If any of that resonates, you're in the right place.
Therapy with me is a space where you don't have to perform, over-explain, or have it all figured out before you arrive. Together, we'll explore the patterns shaping your life with curiosity and compassion: where they came from, what they've cost you, and what moving through life with more clarity, self-trust, and emotional sustainability might look like.
As a second-generation Chinese American therapist, I deeply understand that tension. And I hold an affirming space for BIPOC and LGBTQ+ clients, and others navigating identity, culture, and belonging, where those experiences are met with care. I offer a Free 15-minute Video Consultation so we can connect and see if working together feels like a good fit.
