I am not a "normal" person, which means my therapy style is not "normal". There's laughing, joking, getting to the root of the problem, more laughing, crying, baby yoda gets involved, homework assigned that you won't do four times in a row, then you'll do the homework, healing will take place and you'll say "I feel amazing" and I'll say "Right?" So Contact me because therapy and healing doesn't need to be awkward, scary or ultra serious.

I work with high-achieving professionals and leaders that want to change their personal and/or professional contexts. I primarily use Internal Family Systems (IFS) to help people increase their insight and awareness in order to clarify change and move forward. Additionally, I help people co-construct, envision and achieve personal and professional goals. Using Systems Theory, I provide an analysis of relational contexts as it supports goals and desired change.

Just because they say to make lemonade when life hands you lemons doesn't mean you have to go through it alone. I believe that safe relationships promote healing, so it is my goal to provide you a safe and nonjudgmental space. I have 6 years of experience in community mental health, during which I worked with people who had severe and persistent mental illness. If you feel like your problems are too much for one person to handle, I'd like to help.

I am a second-generation Lao American born and raised in Arkansas. I grew up in a humble environment where my father often reminded me of the hard work required to create a different life. As a descendant of refugees, I understand the many challenges that come with creating upward mobility and have overcome my fair share of obstacles.

Given the chaos that seems to surround us 24/7, I can understand why so many of us are struggling with fear, regret, anger, and resentment. I also believe that even if we feel like we’re stuck repeating the same painful patterns or behaviors, it’s possible to change, it’s possible to resolve past hurt, it’s possible to enjoy life again.

Asian Therapists
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.
