I work predominantly with first & second generation Asian-American millennials seeking help with perfectionism, people pleasing, career burnout, and challenging family dynamics. One of the most important things to know when you are struggling is that you are not alone. As a biracial (Chinese-Irish) therapist, I'm familiar with the nuances of overcoming current stressors while understanding the influence of cultural identity issues and intergenerational trauma.

My background is in Health Psychology and I bring a Mind-Body perspective to my work. With any change comes growing pains, which is why I specialize in working with professionals navigating important life transitions including career decisions, romantic relationships, friendships, and adjustment to parenthood. Often individuals present questions on how they can feel more fulfilled or satisfied in life. Or how to grow in confidence, or become more grounded in oneself. Many look to find better ways to find meaning and fulfillment in our Modern, Technology-Focused culture.

Currently accepting new clients. If you're looking for a space intended for yourself to unpack emotions, make sense of troubling situations, and show up for yourself, then I'll co-create one with you. I know that initiating therapy can be a scary or difficult thing, and I appreciate your commitment to finding the best provider for yourself. Just know that I offer you absolute acceptance of your identities, flaws, goals, and growth.

We collaborate to identify areas of “stuck-ness” to create actionable steps towards change, and process the emotions that come up along the way. We are not often taught how to tolerate discomfort, but I want to help you reshape those feelings into pathways towards growth, self-esteem and fulfillment. Using evidenced based techniques from Cognitive Behavioral Therapy and Family Systems Therapy, I hope to create a safe and goal-oriented environment with a strong emphasis on the client’s wellbeing and context.

My work is deeply grounded in the principles of Interpersonal Neurobiology (IPNB), wherein personal development and functioning is viewed as the relationship between body, mind and relationships.
As humans, we are frequently challenged with the need to adjust-- to unforeseen changes and transitions, to loss, to injury and illness, or to the pressures of everyday life. And sometimes adjustment is needed in relation to an event or process of our own choosing (divorce, elective surgery, spiritual quest). For individuals who wish to deepen their understanding of themselves and their circumstances, or for those struggling with specific challenges, my commitment is to come alongside and help you cope, gain insight, problem-solve, heal, and adjust such that life can be lived as fully and genuinely as possible.

Life has a way to take us to somewhere unexpected and requires us to make some changes to find a new balance. It could be something exciting, such as starting college, starting a family, getting promoted at work, etc. It could also be something sad, like ending a relationship, loss of a loved one, or being apart from family. In any case, adjusting to a change in life is stressful and can cause anxiety and/or depression. At a time like this, I can provide you with effective coping skills to make transitions easier.

I believe that although pain, difficulties, and problems in life may seem hopeless and never-ending at times, they are in fact only temporary. I believe that you should never walk through struggles on your own. My passion and expertise is to walk with you through the struggles, and together, find healthy solutions, understanding, relief, and healing for the problems and patterns that have disrupted your well-being and joy.
