If you’ve been thinking about therapy for a while, this is your sign to begin! As an Asian American and full-time working mom, I understand what it means to shoulder the burden - cultural expectations, family obligations, and the pressure to get it all right while trying not to lose yourself in the process. As a school counselor for 11+ years, I've support teens through academic pressures, social struggles, and self-doubt. Now, as a therapist, I bring that same understanding and expertise to clients facing anxiety, low self-esteem, trauma, relationship challenges, and communication difficulties.

Struggling with boundaries, people-pleasing, or emotional overwhelm? Maybe you put others first, avoid conflict, or fall into self-sabotage even though you're highly self-aware.

My approach is active, collaborative, and focused on real change. I work with clients to break out of self-sabotaging patterns, set and maintain healthy boundaries, and strengthen emotional regulation using DBT and trauma-based therapies.

My aim is to help people meet their treatment goals by providing a warm, welcoming, safe place for individuals of all backgrounds and identities. As a firm believer in each person being the “expert” of their own lives, my overall approach to therapy is that of collaboration within the therapeutic relationship. I facilitate exploration of presenting problems, and may teach some useful skills to try out, while you remain the one who knows best what will work well in your own life. I use a combination of cognitive behavioral therapy, somatic therapy, interpersonal process therapy, and aspects of mindfulness.

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.

Secular and Non-Religious Therapists
What is a secular and non religious approach in therapy?
Secular or non-religious therapy is a theoretical orientation used by many therapists and describes a therapeutic approach that does not rely on any specific religious or faith-based beliefs in the therapeutic process. Secular counselors will often approach therapy with an emphasis on evidence-based practices, such as Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) or Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) to help clients, instead of relying on religious practices, such as prayer or belief in God.
Is secular therapy primarily for non-religious people?
Both religious and non-religious individuals can benefit from secular therapy. People exploring their religious or spiritual beliefs may find it especially useful to work with a secular therapist who is unbiased toward any specific religion. While religious individuals might value the connection and familiarity of seeing a counselor who shares their beliefs, secular counseling can offer them the chance to develop coping skills independent of their religious practice, which can be beneficial in various aspects of their lives.
Can a secular approach to therapy help with religious trauma?
One major reason clients may seek a secular therapist is to process previous religious experiences, including religious trauma. Secular therapists can help clients manage symptoms of the trauma through practices such as Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing (EMDR) therapy or Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT). They can also encourage clients through talk therapy or psychodynamic approaches to explore the roots of their religious trauma. Since secular therapists do not have any predetermined religious beliefs, they can be particularly helpful for clients looking to explore their own religious beliefs following a history of religious trauma.
What does non religious marriage and premarital counseling involve?
Marriage and premarital counseling typically involves a couple meeting with a therapist to discuss topics such as planning for marriage, navigating a new marriage, addressing relationship challenges, and developing better communication and conflict resolution skills. Non-religious therapists assist couples in achieving these goals without adhering to specific religious beliefs or frameworks, often emphasizing inclusivity and non-judgment, especially for "nontraditional" couples. However, seeking couples therapy from a non-religious counselor does not mean religious topics are off-limits. In fact, non-religious couples from different religious backgrounds may benefit from a secular therapist who remains neutral toward the beliefs of each partner.
