Happy 2026 and "New year, new you!," friend! Maybe this is THE year you finally get (back) into therapy! Well, if you're an Asian millennial and were never taught anything about your emotions, then chances are, you got little "t", complex, intergenerational trauma! If you have strained or even estranged relationships with your family members, then welcome home- I can't guarantee that you'll ever receive apology from your parents, but I can support you as you fight off the crazy guilt of growing up/away from your family. If you're anything like me, come learn from my mistakes and I'll spill the tea on how to level up as an adult.

People new to therapy gotta start somewhere and I get it... I am ALL for advocating and supporting my future cycle-breakers: (more) trauma stops with us! I work great alongside other BIPOCS who struggle with having a voice or an identity that is all their own. As a recovering people pleaser and perfectionist, I can relate and help you fastrack your healing.

I honor your willingness and courage to be a cycle-breaker. You do not have to continue feeling broken, empty, or hopeless and you don't have to do it alone— I am ready when you are! If you are in TX or CA and are looking for trauma-informed therapy or support group community, visit my website to easily book your FREE 15-minute phone consultation today!
