I am trained and certified in several therapeutic modalities, including Dialectical Behavioral Therapy (DBT), Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing (EMDR), Prolonged Exposure Therapy, and Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT).
Hi, I'm glad you're here! I understand how overwhelming it can be to find the right therapist—not just someone who can address your specific concerns, but someone who feels like the right fit. I am not cookie cutter, and I tailor treatment to your unique needs, helping us explore the best path forward together. You are not a problem to be 'fixed'; instead, I’m here to help you identify what truly matters to you, work toward your goals, and uncover any roadblocks that may be in your way. My clients often are coming to me with deep rooted negative beliefs about themselves, basically that inner critic” that is making a lot of noise!

Traumatic experiences can change the way that we relate to ourselves as well as the rest of the world. We can be left feeling depressed, on edge, or not like ourselves. As a Licensed Master Social Worker, specializing in trauma, PTSD, and anxiety, my passion is helping teens and adults who have experienced trauma feel safe within themselves again.

Have you ever wanted to begin counseling, but didn’t feel like your problems were big enough? Or, have you ever ghosted a therapist because you didn’t feel helped? Me too. So, we go it alone - doing everything to change ourselves and our relationships. We continuously find ourselves stuck between what we want to do and what we “should” do. This dilemma often shows up as anxiety, depression, and relationship problems. That’s why it’s my mission to provide approachable counseling that works.

Sometimes, we just need a safe space where we can speak from the heart. My passion is to create that compassionate space with you. While I am all about meeting you wherever you are in life, I am also trained in helping people shift their relationship with anxiety, OCD, depression, and body-focused repetitive behaviors. Over time, my clients begin to feel more empowered to live in a way that aligns with their values rather than their fears. As a second-generation Asian American, I also bring a culturally informed perspective to therapy.

Feeling Overwhelmed, Anxious, or Stuck? You're Not Alone.
Before therapy, you might feel like everything is spinning out of control. Panic, distress, and anxiety have taken over, making it hard to focus or feel grounded. Sleep is a struggle, relationships feel strained, and motivation is nowhere to be found. You find yourself constantly battling negative thoughts, feeling down on yourself for not keeping up with daily life. Maybe you’re going through a major life change, and the weight of it all feels unbearable. You’re not sure where to turn, and every day feels like another battle.
