Therapists in 94704
I offer couple counseling, family therapy, individual therapy, and grief counseling. Some clients reach out because their depression won’t lift or their anxiety holds them back. Others want help to gather their otherwise scattered attention so that they may focus on what matters most. Many clients want to heal from traumatic conditions while others yearn for relief from unrelenting grief. I support people facing a daunting diagnosis, a chronic pain condition, or a major life transition. And I help those who are realizing a shift in their family dynamics, their romantic relationships, or their spiritual views.

We all try to cope with our wounds & stresses in the best way we can. Complex life experiences teach us complex ways to cope by perhaps— suppressing our feelings, staying hidden to avoid unwanted attention or punishment, acting out to explain the inexplicable, performing exceptionally & anxiously well to stand out or gain approval, or taking care of others at the expense of ourselves to compensate for our family legacies & cultural dynamics. Whatever the nature and range of your experiences, you may be struggling with your past and how it impacts your present, your work, your relationship with yourself, loved ones, & the world.

Clients come to me due to anxiety, grief and trauma related concerns while facing stressors and life transitions. Life is difficult when you have mental health struggles due to problems related to health, family, marriage, dating, and/or work. It affects self confidence. You may be also be navigating the impact of immigration, cultural background, and inter-generational challenges that are confusing your identity development and your worldview. As an Asian therapist, I not only have familiarity but I am culturally affirming for APIDA individuals.

I work with individuals who want to overcome persistent behaviors, thoughts and emotions that inhibit their ability to live a life they love so that they have meaningful relationships, deeply fulfilling work and self-confidence. My approach is based on the belief that in order to benefit from therapy the therapeutic relationship must be grounded in direct communication, collaboration and compassion. You need someone to be real who will both challenge and care for you. My patients often reflect they are relieved to finally work with someone who engages in conversation and shares responsibility for the progress of each session.
