You’ve spent a long time navigating cultural, familial, and societal expectations, trying to be the version of yourself that makes sense to everyone else. Beneath that, there’s often a quieter story: parts of you that feel unseen, misunderstood, or muted. You may appear put together on the outside while quietly struggling with anxiety, people-pleasing, or emotional disconnection.
I work with BIPOC and LGBTQ+ individuals and couples navigating identity, cultural pressure, and relationship patterns. As an Asian therapist, I understand moving between worlds and wanting a space where you don’t have to explain your culture, queerness, or the weight of larger systems.
You don’t need everything figured out to begin. If you’re looking for a space where these parts of you can be explored with care and without judgment, I invite you to reach out for a consultation.

I work with individuals and couples dealing with anxiety, trauma, ADHD, burnout, and relational stress. Early sessions focus on making sense of what you've been carrying so you can feel understood, less overwhelmed, and more grounded.

I use Narrative Therapy, ACT, CBT, DBT, and EMDR. In early sessions, we explore what brought you in and how patterns developed. Treatment focuses on building practical tools to manage emotions and gently addressing deeper issues that keep you stuck.
