As a first generation Asian American, I embrace, encourage, and invite people of all walks of life to seek support without fear or shame. Whether you are seeking brief, solutions-focused therapy or a long-term therapeutic alliance, I offer a blend of approaches to weigh the emotional with the rational, with respect to the holistic and practical. I offer over a decade of experience working in the mental health field as a child & family specialist, art therapist, and (since 2020) professional counselor, counseling individuals struggling with a range of challenges, such as chronic medical conditions; panic disorder; and grief.
As a registered Art Therapist (ATR), I may weave expressive activities in and out of sessions knowing art can help with processing, focus, and insight. Art in therapy creates a supportive space for deeper exploration, promoting expression and catharsis. Many clients enjoy its healing potential and are surprised what truths emerge in the process.
No matter what challenges you're facing, I offer a steady, compassionate space where you can slow down, understand what’s unfolding, and reconnect with your own inner clarity. Please communicate with me by visiting the Compassion Coherence site.
