Just like how we go to the doctor for regular check-ups, our minds—something we use every day—deserve the same care. Therapy isn’t just for when things go wrong; it’s about maintaining and strengthening your mental health so you can live a more fulfilling life. Therapy should be real, honest, and, at times, a little uncomfortable—but that's how we learn and grow. I take a direct approach to therapy, but always with compassion to help you get where you want to be, one step at a time. While honest, I have a warm sense of humor. And if you're a fellow nerd, I love weaving elements of gaming and storytelling into therapy.

If our greatest strengths can also be our greatest weaknesses, what are yours? The parts of us that kept us safe can eventually hold us back. I see this in my clients’ relationships, family dynamics, careers, and struggles with substance use. When it feels like we're repeating the same battles with anxiety and depression, or arguments and uncertainty, it’s a sign something deeper needs our attention. As meaning-making creatures of habit, we live patterns shaped by beliefs that may no longer serve us. My clients come to therapy ready for clarity, change, and life well lived.

Hey, I'm Jess! I work with people healing from trauma, OCD, and anxiety. Trauma impacts us in complex ways, often shaping how we see ourselves, others, and the world around us. It can leave us feeling stuck, even long after the original event. OCD and anxiety can also leave us feeling this way, making it difficult to engage with life the way we want to. But ultimately, these conditions do not define who you are, and I’m here to help you navigate the path to healing.

Sometimes our trauma and lived experiences can make us hide authentic parts of ourselves. Trauma can arise from various experiences in our lives, including the quieter, less obvious ones.

One of my primary goals is to help my clients learn to embrace & welcome all parts of themselves, even the parts that are hurt & traumatized. Authenticity and advocacy are core beliefs I stand for and trauma work is something I am passionate about.

You're self-aware, thoughtful, and the one others rely on, yet still feel overwhelmed by people-pleasing, rumination, self-doubt, or the weight of cultural and family expectations.

You replay conversations, question your choices, and wonder if you said too much, I work with adults navigating anxiety, complex trauma, attachment wounds, or a painful relationship with food and their body.

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.
