I aim to create a space that allows for clients to feel seen, heard, and learn tangible tools that can help them confidently navigate the challenges of life. As an Asian American, I understand how difficult it can be to seek help and open up when facing stigma against mental health and strive to cultivate a comfortable space to explore, learn, and heal. I recognize the immigrant bicultural experience and the impact of institutional injustices that may shape individuals’ lives.

People start therapy for different reasons. Sometimes people come in to see me during a period of transition - starting or ending school or work, moving to a new city, beginning or leaving a relationship. You might feel something isn't quite working in your life, like you're frustrated, uncertain, or slightly out of step. Maybe you feel yourself hitting the same walls in friendships or relationships repeatedly. Maybe you feel lost. I'll work with you to help you find what's getting in the way of getting what you really want from your life and to find a way forward that feels right to you.

Psychotherapy is about change, learning how to cope with unwanted changes in life, and initiating positive changes for growth. Finding a therapist who can help you to adjust to these changes, and find new meaning in your life can make all the difference. My practice is also informed by the principles of social justice. Mental healthcare systems are also in a process of change toward social justice and I am part of that change.

Being a Black person in a corporate leadership position can be extremely tough, to say the least. You more than likely received that position due to your uncanny ability of taking care of everybody & everything, and getting sh!t done! Not only are you good at this on the job, but you are typically good at doing this in your personal life. You’re the “responsible” one - the one that everyone in your circles can rely on. However, you may be searching for a therapist because you’ve finally reached a point where you are feeling overwhelmed by the endless responsibilities, and it’s affecting your livelihood.

A life that is in tune is also in sync! When my clients embark on the journey of self-discovery and self-awareness, they begin to tune in to their needs and sync those needs with their daily lives and their relationships. I specialize in working with clients (individuals, couples, and families), who have interpersonal and coping skills difficulties in their personal and professional lives, intimate relationships, issues with self-esteem due to weight management and body image, self worth and lack of empowerment. Everyone deserves to have balance in their life.

Strong therapeutic alliances lead to the best possible outcomes. My focus is to create a solid client/counselor relationship within a safe space so we may collaborate on whatever brings you to counseling. I hear a lot of societal messages that stress “finding happiness” or “choosing happiness”. While I agree these states are desirable, my focus as a therapist is to help you arrive at the point where finding and choosing happiness is an option that becomes available to you.

I believe that mental health is the ability to respond to setbacks and disappointments - that is, life events - with flexibility and resilience. Unfortunately, childhood misattunements with caregivers, traumas, and neglect shape responses that become fixed patterns throughout life. With therapeutic intervention, positive attachment relationships can be forged, and old memories can lead to new insights, which can inspire more adaptive reactions.

Though I specialize in working with couples and young adults, I thoroughly enjoy working with those of all demographics and backgrounds. Struggles within relationships, loss of control with substances, anxiety, depression, or a mixture of them all can leave us feeling alone and isolated, no matter the stage of life, and having an experienced therapist to offer guidance and support can make all the difference in our lives. Throughout my time as a clinician, I have supported clients in tackling mental roadblocks, implementing skills for their relationships, as well as listened with care to their stories.

Do you ever wonder why life seems so hard? OK, part of it may be obvious-- even TV commercials were pointing out how we live in "troubled times." But before our world became surreal, maybe you already had personal concerns. Maybe even before the double pandemic, divisive politics, and more, you've been exhausted. Maybe you've felt like a fraud. Maybe you've experienced loneliness or even despair. But you're not alone. What if you gave yourself space for connection, self-care, and exploration? Therapy is a space where you could be visible with a voice... a space for collaborating, healing, and transformation.

Is online therapy a good option?
Therapy conducted online can be just as effective as in-person therapy, as long as there is a strong alliance between the client and the therapist. To find a therapist who provides telehealth services to clients in your area, click “Online Therapy” on the directory homepage and search by your city or town or your zip code.
What’s the difference between a psychologist, a therapist, and a counselor?
Therapists, psychologists, and counselors are all licensed mental health professionals. In the US, psychologists have earned a doctoral degree. The terms “therapist” and “counselor” are used somewhat interchangeably, but generally therapists offer longer-term, mental health care, while counselors offer shorter-term care that may focus on one domain, such as marriage, career, or academic challenges.
What type of therapist is right for me?
Clients should consider factors such as insurance coverage and their primary reason(s) for seeking therapy to determine the type of professional best suited to their needs. Someone struggling with mental health challenges such as depression or anxiety, for example, may wish to seek out a clinical psychologist or therapist, while someone navigating career obstacles or marital upheaval may benefit from seeing a counselor who can offer short-term, targeted support.
Is everyone in the Psychology Today Therapy Directory a licensed therapist?
The Psychology Today directory lists providers who offer legitimate mental health services to the public, including psychologists, psychiatrists, social workers, and counselors. Many have been licensed by the country or state where they practice; providers whose license or primary credential has been verified by Psychology Today are signified by a “Verified” symbol. Some clinicians or organizations provide services for which their state or country does not offer licenses, such as pastoral counseling. They may be selectively included without the “Verified” seal.
What type of therapy is right for me?
The type of therapy best suited to a particular individual depends on several factors, including their primary reason for seeking therapy, their preferred timeline (some therapy types last for a set number of sessions, while others are open-ended), and their personality and preferences—some may prefer a more structured approach. For many individuals, multiple types of therapy could provide a good fit.
Is online therapy cheaper than in-person therapy?
Many therapists charge the same amount for online therapy as they do for in-person therapy—though clients may still find this cost-effective if it cuts down on their transportation costs. Health insurance plans often offer equivalent coverage for online and in-person therapy; indeed, in many places, they are legally required to do so. Text-based or on-demand therapy apps may be cheaper than traditional one-on-one psychotherapy; however, the practice may be less effective and is not likely to be covered by insurance.
