I specialize in working with young adults, women, working professionals, and Asian Americans.
My career has been dedicated to helping individuals create meaning in their lives. As a Vietnamese American, born and raised in Southern California by two immigrant parents, I connect with various cultural and generational factors that impact many Asian American individuals. As a mother and a wife, I understand the complex challenges and overwhelming feelings that accompany balancing different life roles and various transitions/changes. And as a working professional, I enjoy helping other professionals establish a work-life balance and work towards their career goals.

Vulnerability researcher and storyteller Brené Brown stated once that authenticity is the daily practice of letting go of who we think we are supposed to be, and instead, embracing who we are. Do you feel insecure, lost, or helpless? Do you ever feel immense pressure to be someone that you are not? Do you feel depressed or anxious about life’s journey or had a loss? Do you find yourself dwelling on the past or the future, preventing you from truly living a joyous life? Have you experienced trauma or loss and are struggling to move forward? I will help you understand yourself better so you can live a peaceful and happier life.

Do you feel like you look well put together on the outside but you're struggling with anxiety, overthinking, and fear on the inside? Do you get stuck in your own thoughts, spiraling about upsetting people or doing the wrong thing? I help anxious career women struggling with people-pleasing and perfectionism learn to set healthy boundaries with less guilt, shame, and fear. As a career woman who generally has her shit together, you don't feel you have enough trauma to justify your anxiety. You've tried meditation and deep breathing-didn't work. You don't want to burden others but you need someone to talk to who knows how to help.

Why is it important for a therapist to be culturally sensitive?
A culturally sensitive therapist would be respectful and considerate of different groups, with regard to race, sexual orientation, gender, and other factors that are important to an individual. These considerations can help a client feel understood as well as validated. While some people think highlighting race could promote stereotypes and bias, more understanding and knowledge about cultural differences is a positive for a healthy therapeutic alliance.
How can I recognize an effective Asian therapist?
You can discern a lot by asking how familiar the potential therapist is with different cultures, as well as asking how they might address issues related to identity, values, and beliefs. Also inquire about their education, as well as any particular training they may have completed, such as cultural sensitivity or diversity and inclusion programs.
What if the therapist does not have my exact background?
The therapist may not share a client’s exact background, but the therapist may have plenty of hands-on experience as well as the sensitivity needed for therapeutic progress. Their sensitivity to different populations will help the client feel accepted and comfortable in sharing their concerns and difficulties.
How might I inquire about a therapist's experience with Asian clients?
A therapist with an Asian background may have experience within their community, as well as broader cultural sensitivity. Ask the potential therapist whether they've worked with individuals who share your background. If they have not worked with similar clients, they may well know someone who has such experience.
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.
