Bio

My name is Kat. I help independent, sensitive people find joy and live more authentically.

Life on the outside seems okay, but you feel anxious or down on the inside. You struggle with difficult emotions and are often in tune with how you and others feel, which can be wonderful AND overwhelming at times. You have been through stressful, maybe even traumatic, situations in the past. You can see that they still get in the way of you being your full self or going after what you want in life. You handle a lot for others but are realizing that you also need some help too. And you’re ready for things to change.

I’ve been there, and I believe that healing is possible.

As a second-generation Chinese-American from an immigrant family, I saw issues like intergenerational trauma, family addiction, emotional neglect, and dysfunctional relationships firsthand. And I didn’t know how to navigate that, especially as an introspective introvert and Highly Sensitive Person. Learning more about my own mental health as an adult empowered me to reclaim my authentic self and craft a life that aligned with me. I went from feeling out-of-place and anxious working in advertising to doing work that I love with brave humans (you!).

I’m excited to help you find healing, rediscover yourself, and thrive again!

As a licensed psychotherapist, I am most passionate about lifting others up and unlocking their best self. I received my Master’s degree from the University of Southern California (go Trojans!). I am trained in a variety of trauma-informed therapy approaches, including EMDR, Internal Family Systems (or “parts work”), and inner child healing. With all of my clients, I work together with them to craft a personalized approach to therapy that is unique to them. Most of all, our therapy space is warm and judgment-free.
