Life can feel overwhelming, especially when anxiety, past experiences, or self-doubt get in the way of living the life you want. You might be struggling with intrusive thoughts, emotional challenges, or patterns that feel hard to break. Whether you’re navigating grief, heartbreak, or a major life transition, having support makes a difference. My goal is to help you build the tools and insights needed to create meaningful, lasting change. As a queer, neurodivergent Asian American mental health counselor, I specialize in supporting BIPOC teens, young adults, and families with compassion and cultural awareness.
I support individuals navigating challenges like depression, anxiety, OCD, relationship issues, low self-esteem, and identity development. I pull from evidence-based approaches such as CBT, BA, ERP and am IFS informed. I culturally tailor treatment to each person’s needs. My approach is compassionate, humorous, and promotes personal growth and well-being.
If you believe my approach aligns with your needs, I invite you to reach out and schedule a consultation to explore whether we’re a good fit. For the best response, please email me with the following details: your insurance provider, the main issue or goals for therapy, and your preferred day and time for weekly sessions.
