Licensed Professional Counselor, MS, LPC

I am passionate about helping people who are struggling with difficult personal situations. Assisting clients to regain their confidence, supporting them through trying circumstances or helping to heal their relationships is what gives me great satisfaction. I understand cross-cultural and acculturation situations faced by immigrants and consequently, I am sensitive to the subtleties of clients’ religious, social and cultural background and needs. I work with individuals, couples and families to bring about change that will help them cope with the condition that is hampering their ability to function at an optimal level.

You're not falling apart, you're exhausted from pretending you're not. Maybe you keep shrinking yourself to keep the peace — in a friendship, at home, in love. Maybe you've spent years measuring yourself against a beauty standard that was never built for you, wondering if you're finally enough. You're ambitious, self-aware, and tired of patterns you can't seem to break — in love, in family, in how you show up for people who don't show up for you. If you're a woman navigating self-worth, body image, or relationships that take more than they give, you're exactly who I work with.

Do you feel like you’re carrying two worlds? At home you may be the translator, the peacekeeper, or the one who “made it.” At school or work you push to succeed, but inside you feel anxious, heavy, or disconnected. Many of my clients describe guilt when setting boundaries, pressure to keep the family happy, or feeling never good enough. Therapy can help you find relief from worry, better sleep, and confidence to speak up without shame. Whether you’re navigating anxiety, trauma, depression, or a shift in cultural or spiritual identity, therapy can help you reclaim your voice and reconnect with your strengths.

Complex Trauma • Emotional Load • Quiet Survival You've gotten really good at making it all look effortless. Efficient because you've had to be — keeping it all together didn't leave room for anything else. You worked all day, carried the mental load of a dozen moving pieces, and walked through the door to a second shift that nobody clocked you in for. The home, the family, the logistics and invisible labor, and the part you don't talk about — the history you're quietly determined not to pass down. This is therapy for the woman underneath all of that. The one who is tired of carrying it alone

FAQ - Asian Counseling
What can an Asian therapist help with?
An Asian therapist can help with the same concerns as any other therapist, including anxiety, depression, trauma, relationship challenges, stress, grief, and major life transitions. How an Asian therapist can make the experience feel different, however, is the possibility of shared cultural understanding. If you identify with a background such as Chinese, Korean, Indian, Vietnamese, Filipino, or Japanese, working with a therapist who shares or understands aspects of your culture may help you feel more comfortable opening up on such topics.

What role can language play in therapy?
Language can play an important role in therapy because people often express emotions, family dynamics, and personal experiences differently depending on the language they are speaking. For some individuals, working with a therapist who speaks their native language, whether it be Mandarin, Korean, Vietnamese, Japanese, or another language, may help sessions feel more natural and emotionally connected. Even if you are fluent in English, certain thoughts or feelings may still feel easier to communicate in your native language.

How can an Asian therapist support couples counseling or family therapy?
Cultural background can play an important role in couples counseling and family therapy, particularly when family expectations, communication styles, generational differences, or cultural traditions are influencing the relationship. An Asian therapist may help partners and family members navigate these topics with more cultural understanding and less need to explain the context behind them. For multicultural or multilingual families, a Asian therapist who is bilingual may also help ensure that each person feels heard and understood during sessions.

How might I inquire about a therapist’s experience with Asian clients?
If cultural background is important to you in therapy, it can be helpful to ask prospective therapists whether they have experience working with clients who share your cultural background or speak your preferred language. In initial conversations with potential therapists, you might also ask whether they have worked with clients experiencing concerns related to identity, intergenerational conflict, family expectations, or cultural stigma around mental health.

Who is included in Psychology Today’s directory of Asian therapists?
The directory of Asian therapists includes professionals who have shared their ethnicity in their profiles. Psychology Today uses this information to assist clients in finding a therapist who can provide a cultural match. However, not all therapists choose to disclose their ethnicity in their profiles, and they may not appear in search results for this reason; also, when the number of therapists identified as Asian is limited, the directory will also show therapists with comprehensive experience working with clients from relevant backgrounds.
