Bio

Through my own 15+ years being on and off in therapy, I have taken the traits I liked the most about my therapists and hope to provide you with them.

I typically work with Asian Americans, people of color, and the LGBTQIA+ who struggle with people-pleasing, anxiety, depression, internalized and/or externalized anger, and managing their feelings. They often have experienced childhood trauma and intergenerational trauma and felt like they grew up too fast and were often labeled the “black sheep,” the “troublemaker,” “caretaker,” or “therapist” by their friends. Along with those challenges, my typical client often wants a more authentic relationship with themselves and others but doesn’t know how to achieve them.

I teach people how to prioritize and honor all parts of themselves, not just the “desirable” ones. We will work through parts people generally dismiss and ignore such as anger, resentment, shame, and disgust, and learn how to embrace them gracefully. I’ll teach you the skills to feel more at peace.

Life is busy. Your time is valuable, and therapy can be expensive. And if you can, you’d like to see the results as soon as possible.

With me, we will set clear goals and work on specific activities during and between appointments using well-researched tools. I will provide coping skills, tools, resources, and questions to consider during and between sessions. This approach has helped many, especially those who haven’t found lasting success in counseling before.
