I specialize in supporting individuals, parents, couples, and families as they navigate life’s challenges, including trauma, depression, anxiety, parenting, and relationship issues.
As a 1.5-generation Asian American, I am deeply passionate about supporting immigrants and individuals from marginalized communities. My personal and professional experiences have shaped a deep understanding of the complexities of navigating multiple cultural identities, intergenerational trauma, and the ongoing impacts of systemic oppression.

Some of the communities who I serve are artists, parents, highly sensitive people, single people, divorced individuals, single mothers, people of color, cancer survivors, people with Immuno-disorders, those struggling with pregnancy challenges or losses, the queer community, non-binary individuals, and intersex people.
My counseling style could be described as unpretentious, person-centered and relational. I believe that when you work with a talented counselor you feel genuine connection, you feel heard, and you feel respected and cared for. I emphasize the counselor-client relationship in the work that I do, using this relationship as a means to help understand and heal other relationships in the client’s life. In working with couples, I am passionate about working with clients who desire to communicate with their partner more effectively. I am comfortable working with many types of couples including non-traditional arrangements.

I provide a safe and inviting space to help your child practice new ways of coping, and I help parents set up a clear structure to support positive connection.
Is your tween or teen daughter internalizing anxiety and big emotions? Does it seem like the steps you take to try to help often just make things worse? Do you wonder if there’s a better way to support your child’s emotional growth and manage family stress?

I am also trained in DBT, CBT, Play Therapy and see children ages 8+, as well as providing ADHD assessment, parent coaching, and meditation training.
Being curious about what makes us feel and act the way we do brings authenticity, creativity, and choices into our lives. Our self-concept and beliefs about the world are often formed in childhood and learned in our primary relationships. Unconsciously, these early experiences guide many of the decisions in our lives. I am passionate about exploring with you, the patterns that may leave you feeling confused, frustrated, or unable to move forward. Together, we will create space to cultivate conscious and caring responses to the inevitable challenging events of life.

I support people as they go through some of life's tougher times. I do not "fix" anyone. I help people remember the truth about their worth and value and guide them as they practice living from that truth whether it's for the first time or not. When we get afraid and empty, it is almost impossible to remember this by ourselves, and we need an experienced, knowledgable and loving ally to shine the light for us through the dark and confusing times.
