I am passionate about serving the Asian community. You deserve a safe, understanding space to be yourself. Maybe seeking help outside the family feels culturally taboo or past bullying has left you feeling like you don’t belong.

These struggles can affect friendships and intimacy—but you don’t have to face them alone.

I am EMDRIA-certified and use EMDR along with somatic strategies and parts work to help process trauma.
When someone experiences trauma- it can affect multiple aspects of that person’s life. It may interfere in relationships, make it difficult to cope with daily life, cloud decision-making, and prompt a person to seek relief in ways that create more problems. Helping people change the way they view themselves and their future- especially people who don’t think it is possible for anything to change—is a special quest for me.

I take an integrative, holistic approach to therapy, incorporating modalities such as EMDR, IFS, somatic therapies, and CBT, as well as elements of mindfulness, self-compassion, and attachment theory.
As a trauma-informed, strengths-based therapist, I don’t believe in pathologizing or labeling clients.

Together, you and I can uncover what lies at the root of your issues and explore new strategies for creating positive change.

EMDR Therapists
Who is EMDR for?
EMDR was initially developed as a treatment for individuals with Post-traumatic stress disorder (PTSD), for whom memories of a deeply distressing experience can be inadvertently triggered by random everyday events. The procedure has since been applied in the treatment of many other conditions. For example, it is used by some therapists to treat anxiety disorders including panic and phobias, depression, dissociative disorders, eating disorders, obsessive-compulsive disorders, and some personality disorders. It is suitable for adolescents and adults.
Why do people need EMDR?
People need EMDR as a way to manage distressing memories that in some way hamper the ability to function in the present. The procedure is believed to target the way memories are stored in the brain. Evidence indicates that past disturbing experiences cause ongoing distress because they were not adequately processed, and when such memories are triggered in the present, they are accompanied by all the emotions, thoughts, and physical sensations as the initial experience.
What problems does EMDR treat?
First and foremost, EMDR is intended as a treatment for PTSD, to defuse distressing memories that intrude on and impair everyday functioning. It is also often used to help those who are subject to panic attacks, phobias, and other forms of anxiety. In addition, EMDR has been used to treat individuals with depression, eating disorders, and personality disorders.
What happens in EMDR therapy?
First the therapist takes an individual’s history, and then the therapist and client decide which distressing experience(s) will be the target(s) of the exercise, delivered via a side-to-side visual stimulus requiring lateral eye movements. The client will be asked to activate thoughts, feelings, and any body sensations related to the troubling experience. The eye movements are said to reduce the emotional charge of the memory, so that the experience can then be safely discussed with the therapist and digested, minimizing its ability to trigger anxiety.
