Need a space to care for yourself and tend to your own needs? I welcome you. Healing through therapy, although sometimes stigmatized, is an experience that most of us need in the current world. Our lives have been disrupted by unexpected and devastating events, which intensifies our stress, anxiety and loneliness. There is no better time to connect. Partnering with me, you can create a space where you feel comfortable connecting with your tender parts, discovering your strength, and most importantly, being your genuine self with no apology. That’s my experience as a client of therapy, and also what I want to offer you.

You may be here feeling your emotional pain has been too much for you to hold inside alone any more. You may have tried very hard to feel better but nothing has worked to heal from the pain. You struggle to feel happy and confident no matter how hard you work, and you wish you were like someone else who looks happier and more successful. You notice your constant criticism, guilt, and shame towards yourself, and find it difficult to be compassionate towards yourself. If this resonates with you, I would love to help you get unstuck and heal from this endless pain and feel confident and content with who you truly are.

I work with young adults and professionals in their path to self-discovery and healing. I specialize in treating trauma and relationship issues.

You have appeared ok, but deep inside stressed for quite a while. You have thought about therapy, but either mental health is too much a topic to face, or you find it too hard to find a therapist who can really understand your culture and speak your language. So you decided to suffer silently. You searched Dr. Google many times too, and worried that your situation could get much worse if you don't find the right therapist to help you. Wait no more. Our psychotherapists are here to help.

I work broadly with young adults who often have bicultural backgrounds and are experiencing personal issues with themselves, family or relationships. It is a difficult balancing act between you, those close to you and differing cultural norms. Finding autonomy when the expectations of others sometimes burdens us, can lead to feeling anxious, alone or depressed. You can lose yourself to these feelings at times, which is why 1-on-1 therapy is a healthy approach to process these emotions.Family and friends may suggest or want vastly different things than you. In therapy, I will listen while giving you the tools you need for your goals.

Do you find yourself constantly living in the past and wish you can get unstuck from your past? Do you feel overwhelmed and anxious?

I have extensive experience with CBT, DBT and EMDR. I can offer variety of therapeutic approach and find what works best for you.

As a queer first-generation Asian American, I am passionate about the ways in which I can advocate for mental health in all communities. Culture, environment, the multiple identities you hold, and the societal systems in place can all be significant contributors to the stressors you face. In exploring these factors collaboratively with you, I hope to empower you to recognize your strengths and to draw upon them.

Stepping into therapy and engaging in your own personal growth is empowering. We all manage an immense number of stressors in our daily lives, and therapy is a space where you can take time to pause, reflect, and grow. I work with individuals of diverse backgrounds—including adolescents and young adults—who are experiencing anxiety, depression, trauma, cultural adjustment, interpersonal stress, and more. I understand that every client’s needs are different and use various modalities such as Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT), Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT), and Psychodynamic approaches.

My approach in therapy is to create a safe environment so that you can feel comfortable sharing your stories and experiences. Life can be stressful, with many ups and downs and at times tends to be unpredictable and overwhelming. Together, we will find positivity in your life and develop coping strategies to better manage your stressors.

Do you have difficulty connecting with the people most important to you? Do you find yourself feeling stuck, unable to communicate your needs, wondering what the future will bring? For many, loneliness, lack of support, or instability in a relationship can be a source of stress, anxiety and depression. Therapy is a place where you can shed light on who you are as a person, recognize what holds you back and understand what can be done to help you move forward. It is an opportunity to learn how to be present in your important relationships and make choices from a place of confidence and clarity.

It is my strong belief that the systems we navigate directly impact our mental health and well-being, and that through recognition and critical consciousness of these influences, we can radically free ourselves. My therapeutic approach borrows from Freirean thought, acknowledging that individuals are masters of their own experiences and that collaboratively we will liberate each other. I believe growing up multiracial (Chinese; White) and queer positioned me well to see how uniquely multifaceted each person is. In my therapy, we will nurture a nonjudgmental and explorative space centering your growth.
