About
Therapy can serve as a safe, nurturing, and nonjudgmental space to work through challenges in your everyday life. Being seen, heard, and accepted for who we are is something we need to thrive. As a 1.5 generation immigrant, I specialize in working with BIPOC folx, specifically international students, young working professionals, and Asian-Americans. As a psychotherapist and music therapist, my approach is warm, supportive, and caring. I practice from an attachment-based, psychodynamic, strength-based, and trauma-focused framework and will tailor my approach based on your needs and goals in therapy.
In music therapy, I use improvisation, lyric-analysis, composition, and sound healing to supplement the verbal processing of talk therapy. Taking the first step to reach out and share your story can be scary, but when it is met with understanding, nurturance, and care based on a trusting therapeutic relationship, it can be incredibly cathartic and healing.
Let's work to discover your creative healing power, embody parts of yourself that you may be struggling to accept, uncover other parts that you may be unfamiliar with, and together, we can cultivate compassion for every part of you to co-exist authentically to live a more fulfilling life.
