I work with diverse adult individuals of all ages. I have helped clients tame their perfectionism, get out of depressive ruts, invigorate their social lives, grieve losses, adapt to big changes, communicate effectively, and live their best lives with ADHD, ASD, and Bipolar.

Sometimes it feels hard to stay connected — to yourself, to your partner, or just to a sense of stability. Emotions can get big, relationships can feel complicated, and the past can still echo in ways that are hard to explain. Maybe anxiety shows up more than you’d like. Maybe the same arguments keep circling back, or certain patterns leave you feeling distant, overwhelmed, or unseen.
Therapy can be a space to slow down and make sense of it all — to sort through what’s happening, what matters most, and how to move forward with more clarity and authenticity in your life.

Having lived between cultures, I understand what it’s like to feel split—to belong everywhere and nowhere at once. My work explores how relationships, culture, emotions, and survival strategies shape who you are. I don’t shy away from the messy or uncomfortable. Together, we’ll uncover what feels stuck and empower what’s ready to emerge—so you can move through the world with more freedom, connection, and self-trust. I work with adolescents, adults, couples, and families facing trauma, anxiety, depression, substance use, grief, oppression, life transitions, identity and relationship challenges.

It can be scary, overwhelming, or even shameful to get help, however, this is the first crucial step in your healing process. You might be depressed, anxious, angry, or afraid, but what I’ve come to understand is every feeling is there to teach you something valuable. Feelings are gateways to your inner wisdom so you can see things clearly; they can guide you toward your true path and help you make better decisions for yourself. They are what make us human and allow us to connect to each other so we can have better relationships and therefore happier lives.

I use holistic and transformative therapies, including AEDP, IFS, DBT, and other mindfulness-based approaches, to develop awareness and balance within the mind, body and spirit.
Whether you struggle with depression or anxiety, are stuck repeating old patterns, or seek support for a specific goal, therapy can be a tool for decreasing stress, building self-compassion, and re-discovering yourself. I offer a safe, collaborative, and nonjudgmental space for you to explore your feelings, while finding the path that leads you to more joy and fulfillment in life. My Asian American identity helps me attune more easily with cross-cultural and intergenerational issues, and I work with both English and Mandarin-speaking patients. I also specialize in helping couples heal old wounds to enhance connection and intimacy.

With the chaos and overwhelm of today's world, therapy can be a dedicated space where you can breathe a sigh of relief. Where you can be yourself and take up space.

You want to live more freely, more wholly, more in touch with who you really are. You want to find your way to wholeness and freedom. You may be looking to share and explore things that have never felt safe to open up before. You may have tried and benefited from other kinds of therapy, and are interested now in treatment that is focused on real, embodied experience now, in the present, rather than endlessly re-telling the same stories. You may have realized how the past has affected you, and you would rather define yourself than being bound by it. You are ready above all to reclaim your own innate goodness, wholeness, and strength.
