To heal is to touch with love that which was previously touched by fear. We all have times when we need extra support to work through life's challenges. Whether it be mental health concerns, trauma, relationship dynamics, identity exploration, life transitions, family relations, work stressors, or any other difficult circumstance; you don't have to walk this journey alone. Together we will work to empower you to put your needs first and take steps to reach your goals. Everyone has a story and is worthy of space to tell it, and together we will honor, heal, and learn from your experiences.

As human beings, we may desire freedom, fulfillment, or meaning in our lives. But sometimes, the mind can trap us in its false narratives. I work with multicultural expats, global nomads, & children of immigrants struggling to find their place and sense of belonging in the world, artists/creatives of color grappling with creators’ block and self-doubt, and South Asian teens & adults in the diaspora interested in exploring how perfectionism, unrealistic societal/familial expectations, and cultural heritage (including religion, spirituality, sexuality, caste, class, race) impact their emotional well-being and who they are as people.

Mental health often dictates a person’s overall well-being. Our perception of ourselves, our families, community and world allow us to experience the gift of life in its entirety or we can find ourselves struggling and limiting what life has to offer. Being a psychologist allows me to help people understand themselves and to create the best version of themselves; which often leads to good experiences and a fulfilling lifestyle. I appreciate the opportunity to connect with people and explore who they are and what they want out of life.

Hi! I'm Vanessa, a Licensed Marriage and Family Therapist (LMFT). I'm a first-generation immigrant based in San Diego, CA. Originally from Southeast Asia, I've worked and lived in Singapore, Taiwan, and Buffalo, NY. I love cooking, board game nights, heated blankets, and playing fetch with my dog! I typically work with teenagers, couples, and young adults. I have been practicing since 2015 and my areas of focus are relationships - familial, romantic, platonic. I believe our core relationships are foundational to the self and inform the ways in which we make the life decisions we do and choose the people we choose.

Parenting is rewarding, but it's also one of the hardest jobs. Navigating the responsibilities of managing a household with children can cause parents to feel overwhelmed and stressed. For working parents, things get even more complex. Overseeing department operations can create anxiety for executive level professionals. Trying to juggle one's familial and professional roles can produce extreme burn out. I help executive level parents who are at risk of falling into the self-sacrificing pattern of overextending recover from emotional bankruptcy, enhance the connection with their children and improve their overall quality of life.

Hello, my name is Sabrina Brown, Licensed Clinical Social Worker. I believe that the first step in any change is being able to recognize the issue.

The intersections of our different identities and different selves can pull us in seemingly opposite directions and cause conflict within ourselves and in the way we relate to others. This might look like anxiety, depression, perfectionism, overly high expectations of self or others, negative perception of yourself, people-pleasing behaviors, resentment, anger, irritability, hopelessness, frustration, or a sense of not belonging.
