Life is sometimes unexpectedly difficult and suffering can be inevitable. However, how you respond to life circumstances can drastically change your ability to enjoy life. I have worked with those that believed in lies about themselves after a traumatic incident, childhood, or their own minds. These lies can be crippling and result in anxiety, depression, addictions, school related difficulties, stress, anger, parenting, communication difficulties, relational issues, family problems, job dissatisfaction and more. I provide different perspectives that encourage personal healing and relief. Change your mind change your life

As a caring and dedicated therapist, I’m here to provide a supportive space for you to navigate the challenges you’re facing. Whether you’re grappling with relationship difficulties, trauma, anxiety, depression, or any other issues, know that you’re not alone in this journey. In our sessions, I prioritize your unique experiences and needs, ensuring that our therapy is centered around you as an individual. Drawing from my diverse background as an immigrant and an engineer in the corporate world, I bring a unique perspective to our conversations, allowing me to better understand the complexities of the challenges you’re encountering.

Have you experienced abuse (e.g. physical, sexual, psychological, emotional, etc.) in the past and do the impacts of it seem to keep coming up in your relationships today? My name is Soy and I would like to help you find healing from your past. My approach to support you is through relationships--relationship with yourself, with others, and with me. I believe that relationships are at the core of our well-being and I will walk alongside you as we explore, challenge, and navigate strategies in your relationships that no longer serve you, and build on the ones that do, in an open, honest, and curious way.

Are you feeling stuck or alone in your struggles? Are you dealing with anxiety, depression, or relationship problems? Are your past traumas getting in the way of healthy, emotionally connected relationships? You do not have to go through it alone. I can provide a safe space, collaborate with you to make sense of what is happening inside of you, and guide you towards healing and growth. Communicating more effectively, understanding and connecting with self and others on a more deeper level can help you feel more empowered and free to live life to the fullest.

As an Asian-American DACAmented bilingual/bicultural therapist, my heart lies in supporting members of the AAPI community and other ethnic minorities who have experienced marginalization due to their intersection of identities (ie. spirituality, sexuality, legal status, cultural backgroud). I work with individuals who have experienced religious and relational trauma, attachment wounds, imposter syndrome, low self-esteem, dysfunctional relationships, and repressed sexuality, as a result of internalized cultural and societal messages they were exposed to that have further perpetuated an oppressive narrative around who they are.

I specialize in the treatment of trauma & working with survivors of narcissistic abuse and emotional manipulation. I believe strongly in the importance of addressing the systems of institutional racism & systemic poverty that exist in our current society. I acknowledge racial trauma & the consistent traumatization which often results due to living as an ethnic minority in the U.S.

Life is an ocean of never-ending challenge; we can get overwhelmed, anxious, isolated, and feel out of control. Without proper support we miss the opportunities for growth that adversity offers. I provide a supportive structure that allows exploration of the most important aspects of your life and helps you develop concrete practical skills to better respond to the complex challenges life presents - - whether in individual, couples, or family therapy. You will learn to better know, understand, and accept more of your experiences and interactions as you discover and shape more satisfying layers of yourself and your relationships.

I often explain that psychotherapy is like physical therapy for the brain. With a combination of a safe, nurturing environment and evidence-based methods, you can develop new “pathways” in your brain and process your thoughts and feelings to help you heal and grow. I will approach our work together with a genuine curiosity and seek to collaboratively explore the different parts of your story. Having lived in several different countries, I have great respect for and extensive experience working with people from various backgrounds.

I've been working with adult children of immigrants (AAPI & Latinx) and multicultural/interracial couples who struggle with anxiety, depression, relationship issue, adults’ ADHD, boundaries issues, and trauma in therapy, I collaborate with my clients on finding effective ways of communication, changing irrational beliefs, learning/setting healthier boundaries, and identifying/expressing emotions. I try to assist them to interpret their issues from different angles. Although it can be challenging to achieve our therapeutic goals, I trust that my clients can work through this journey because they're resilient and strong.
