While not exclusively the identities of the clients I work with, I specialize in working with Asian and Asian American clients, individuals with disabilities, autistic people, and trans and non-binary folks and I hope to work with you soon!
Understanding who you are or what you are feeling is difficult when you are not even sure what words to use to describe your experience or what questions to ask yourself. Naming that is a big step. You may put on a mask to navigate the world in order to reduce the pressures you feel from society. High expectations when you were younger may make mistakes seem unacceptable. The journey to explore who you are may seem lonely. You may notice similarities in the relationships you form now with the relationship you have with your family. The early traumas in your life may be triggering you now in ways that are frustrating and upsetting.

5 and 2nd generation Asian American adults, neurodivergent individuals, and parents/caregivers.
Clients often find me after carrying emotional, mental, relational, and cultural burdens on their own for far too long. They’re overwhelmed from juggling so much at once, resentful of being stretched thin, and exhausted from pretending they’re fine. Many are navigating cross-cultural family dynamics, trauma patterns, identity questions, neurodivergence, and relationships that feel uneven or toxic. They want a space where their story is genuinely heard and affirmed, and an ally who meets them with compassion and steady support. Above all, they want a life that feels authentic and truly their own.

My practice is largely shaped by my experiences facilitating care circles for Queer Asian/Pacific Islander survivors of gender- and power-based violence.
Healing doesn’t have to happen on your own or in isolation, but through rebuilding healthy connections rooted in safety and trust.

Currently accepting patients for Telehealth sessions and remote EMDR. I've been blessed to be able to work in this field for over the last 27 years, 18 as a psychotherapist. Over that time I've been able to work with a myriad amount of problems, ranging from anxiety, depression, substance abuse, ADHD in both adults and children, as well as work with families in distress. I personally take great enjoyment in working with people with anxiety based difficulties and trauma, having had the greatest success with this population.

I see therapy not just as a form of a treatment but also as a gift we give to ourselves. Through therapy, we explore our thoughts, emotions, behaviors, and our relationship with others, including work and society. These explorations can be done alone but is more effective with a therapist, who can see patterns, themes, options, and solutions that we often overlook ourselves. Your relationship with me is a safe space to explore, to understand, to connect, and ultimately, to heal. Together, we will use evidence based therapeutic methods to develop healthy relationships with ourselves and with others.

Are you living life on autopilot? Do you feel disconnected from your body, relationships, or sense of purpose? Are you fighting to stay afloat in a world that feels like it wasn’t made for you? You deserve an affirming space to explore your identities, relationships, and life's challenges in the context of greater systemic and social forces. I enjoy working with trauma survivors, folks with disabilities and/or chronic illnesses, immigrants/adult children of immigrants, and aspiring cycle-breakers. I believe that healing is not only a tool for inner transformation but also a catalyst for our collective liberation.

Maybe you long to be secure in who you are and embrace all parts of yourself, to move away from self-criticism and toward self-compassion.

Do you feel unheard or unappreciated, carrying heavy burdens, or find your relationships strained by overwhelming emotions? Clients seek counseling for many reasons. Some need a safe, supportive space to be heard when they lack that elsewhere. While friends and family can offer care, they may not provide the professional help or treatment needed. Others struggle to express their thoughts or feel lost and need guidance. I believe that everyone deserves a place where they feel understood and cared for, and I’m here to listen and support your growth.

Asian Therapists
Why is it important for a therapist to be culturally sensitive?
A culturally sensitive therapist would be respectful and considerate of different groups, with regard to race, sexual orientation, gender, and other factors that are important to an individual. These considerations can help a client feel understood as well as validated. While some people think highlighting race could promote stereotypes and bias, more understanding and knowledge about cultural differences is a positive for a healthy therapeutic alliance.
How can I recognize an effective Asian therapist?
You can discern a lot by asking how familiar the potential therapist is with different cultures, as well as asking how they might address issues related to identity, values, and beliefs. Also inquire about their education, as well as any particular training they may have completed, such as cultural sensitivity or diversity and inclusion programs.
What if the therapist does not have my exact background?
The therapist may not share a client’s exact background, but the therapist may have plenty of hands-on experience as well as the sensitivity needed for therapeutic progress. Their sensitivity to different populations will help the client feel accepted and comfortable in sharing their concerns and difficulties.
How might I inquire about a therapist's experience with Asian clients?
A therapist with an Asian background may have experience within their community, as well as broader cultural sensitivity. Ask the potential therapist whether they've worked with individuals who share your background. If they have not worked with similar clients, they may well know someone who has such experience.
Who is included in Psychology Today's directory of Asian therapists?
The directory of Asian therapists includes professionals who have shared their ethnicity in their profiles. Psychology Today uses this information to assist clients in finding a therapist who can provide a cultural match. However, not all therapists choose to disclose their ethnicity in their profiles, and they may not appear in search results for this reason; also, when the number of therapists identified as Asian is limited, the directory will also show therapists with comprehensive experience working with clients from relevant backgrounds.
