Anxiety, trauma, and major life changes can leave you feeling unsteady—like you're constantly adjusting, but never quite finding solid ground. You may appear capable to others while silently battling self-doubt, exhaustion, or memories that surface when you least expect. With an MS from California Baptist University and training in ACT, CBT, EMDR, and mindfulness-based approaches, I help adults navigate these internal storms with clarity and intention.

I am accepting new clients, though I am semi-retired. My days in the office are Tuesdays, Wednesdays and Thursdays. With 49 years of experience, I help people rally their strengths to overcome problems in living which have diminished their success and happiness. A practical, results-oriented psychologist, I believe that when people feel safe and free from criticism they are most able to see new solutions to their difficulties and to try new behaviors. I believe a counseling relationship is most effective when it includes empathy, humor, frank and straight-forward discussion and, occasionally, no-nonsense confrontation.

I am a Licensed Professional Counselor-Supervisor (LPC-S) with over 15 years’ experience working with adults, adolescents and their families. Life comes with struggles, but these struggles don't have to become who we are. I believe we all find our own ways of coping and healing, but sometimes we need additional support to help us make healthy decisions.

Relationships, depression, and anxiety can feel overwhelming, but therapy can help improve communication, identify emotional triggers, and develop coping strategies. Techniques like cognitive-behavioral therapy (CBT) or mindfulness can reframe negative thoughts and ease distress. With time, individuals build resilience, strengthen connections, and experience greater emotional wellbeing.

Perhaps you're a new parent who grew up feeling like love had to be earned through achievement.
You've spent years being the responsible one. The high achiever, the one who holds everything together. You've followed the blueprint, met the expectations, and checked every box. But lately, success feels less like an accomplishment and more like a weight you can't put down. On the outside, everything looks fine. On the inside, you're depleted. If you're a high-achieving Asian American navigating burnout, perfectionism, anxiety, or people-pleasing, this is a space where your experience doesn't need to be explained or justified. As a second-generation Asian American therapist, I understand the unspoken rules many of us live by.

With expertise in parent management training, I work closely with families and children to understand the root causes of challenging behaviors and develop practical approaches to behavioral management.
Many families seek me out because they are worried about their child’s or teen’s behavior—whether that looks like frequent tantrums, defiance, aggression, problems with peers, or serious difficulties at school and home. As a licensed psychologist in Texas, I work closely with families in both English and Spanish to understand what is driving those behavior concerns and how they are affecting daily life, relationships, and school learning. In our work together, I take time to listen carefully, learn about your family’s routines, expectations, and cultural values, and partner with you to set goals that feel realistic.

When we experience pain in our lives whether it be a heart break, death, loss of jobs, health issues, etc., it is difficult for us to know how to face these sufferings. Fear of facing our circumstances head on is not easy. Being optimistic “in spite of” suffering is really difficult. Sometimes we need help to develop the right attitude so we can see our suffering as a task that we can bear.
