As human beings, we all experience periods of pain that test our resources and ability to cope. Whether you are experiencing anxiety, loss/grief, self-doubt or going through a time of turbulent change, I am here to support your growth and healing. In therapy, I aim to help you gain insight into your emotional experience, reconnect with your core needs and values, and cultivate new coping skills to tackle life's stressors. My approach is warm, gentle but actionable, and collaborative. I recognize that we all have different healing journeys and strive to tailor treatment to suit your individual goals and needs.
I specialize in anxiety, grief, trauma, perinatal mental health, stress management, burnout, and relationships. As a bicultural therapist, I also have expertise in Asian American issues, immigrant mental health, imposter syndrome, and family conflict. My practice is culturally sensitive and trauma informed, integrating evidence-based modalities.
It takes courage to be vulnerable and seek professional support when you are feeling lost or uncertain about what's next. My goal as a therapist is to cultivate a safe space for you to explore your inner experiences with honesty, compassion, and curiosity. I would be honored to work with you and help guide you on your journey toward health and healing.
