Whether you're a veteran or a newcomer, starting therapy can be one of the most taxing and anxiety provoking things we can imagine. Many of us live day by day worried about what may happen or what has happened, and eventually it starts to consume how we think and behave. We start to lie to ourselves and others about what is happening, and we start to feel trapped and hopeless. Everyday seems to be a battle and we crave a release.

I am dedicated to working with clients whose personality and life experience were shaped by more than one culture: You might be an international student or in your 20's or 30's navigating anxiety. You might have been raised by 1st generation Asian parents or one and half or 2nd generation immigrants. You might be struggling in a relationship where you and your partner come from different cultural backgrounds not feeling understood. You are in the relationship but you both feel alone in the relationship. I love to help. I work with clients individually and as couples.

Although I obtained a significant amount of knowledge as a therapeutic provider and underwent professional training, I ultimately view clients as the true experts on themselves. I, as the therapist, am their creative partner in becoming the “best” version of themselves. Not only do I believe clients are the experts on themselves, but I also believe that clients are the heroes of their own stories. During the course of the journey, the hero often has to integrate parts of themselves and the world that surrounds them to become an agent of better change.

The phrase "That's what Mom's do" has become the unwanted mantra that forces you to go, go, go. Good sleep, what's that, it's hard enough to find the energy to keep going. Day after day, there’s a long to-do list that keeps you on the hamster wheel. Emotions have been all over the place, but you've been pushing through them every week. However, the pressure is building, and being overwhelmed and feeling alone makes it increasingly more difficult to keep up with everyday life and relationships when feeling this way. All you want to do is hide away and hope it doesn't all come crashing down.

Are you thinking about starting or getting back into therapy but not sure where to begin? Welcome! I am a licensed therapist specialized in working with Asians and Asian Americans struggling with relationship problems, cultural conflicts, identity issues, past traumas, and self-esteem struggles. Having grown up in two different cultures, I understand these challenges can feel even more overwhelming for individuals belonging to the second or 1.5 generation immigrants. The pressure to succeed as a child of immigrants, coupled with generational traumas and adherence to cultural norms, often intensifies these difficulties.
