Hi! I’m so glad you are here. My name is Thuy and I believe that as humans, we are deserving of kindness, compassion, and empathy. It is the foundation of the work that I do and I look forward to the possibility of working alongside you. Whether you are simply needing space for yourself, looking to heal your relationships, set boundaries, confront maladaptive and distressing patterns, or address and stabilize trauma, I will always hold space for you to feel seen, heard, and supported.

ACCEPTING NEW CLIENTS (Telehealth - available) Discussing personal challenges can often be difficult. The fact is that "life can be difficult", and there are times we all requre help "aligning our compass". Finding a therapist can be an important step in one's search for a "life worth living". For 10 years I have worked to develop compassion and empathy in assisting individuals and the families that have solicited my support in meeting the challenges and stressful situations that seems to be an unavoidable part of life.

You are doing life--going to work, to school--but it's not easy! And it's exhausting presenting as if all's OK all the time: to put on the smile, to muster the energy. But that little voice still whispers negativity in the back of your head: All. The. Damn. Time. You don't know how to take appreciation, much less see it in yourself. You don't know how to say no. And you just want some peace and the sense that you exist outside the needs of others.

I see life as a journey. Sometimes we get in a rut and have difficulty getting out, or sometimes we think we are on the right road and things turn out differently than expected, leaving us devastated and not knowing how or what to change. At times, we are unaware of our repeated patterns or how early life experiences have affected us. We usually do the best we can with what skills we have. Sometimes, we have to change our unhelpful coping skills and develop strategies and skills that will help us be happier and more functional people. Life is a journey, let's take it one step at a time.

Are you ever scared to tell someone how you feel? When someone asks, “How are you?” your response is, “I’m good, how are you?” It can be daunting to be vulnerable and genuinely express our emotions. Whatever you are experiencing, I am honored that you are here and have chosen to begin your counseling journey. My goal is to help you feel valued, understood, and appreciated just as you are. Together, we can make sense of your current situation and explore where you want to go. I believe that you can find purpose and connection and become better equipped to navigate the complexities of life.

Every client is an "ideal" client. My job is to be present with you in a way that, together, we facilitate your discovering the life that fits you where you are at the times of our meetings. Our work will involve your discovering how you block creating that life and what results and experiences you create with those blocks and then experimenting with new ways of your living. I continue to work with people with "minor" every day issues and "major" mental health issues.

Currently taking new patients! I know you're making a hard decision! I'm so glad you're choosing to take care of yourself! Maybe you're struggling with knowing who you are beyond a parent, partner, sibling, student, etc..? Some phases in life are just so challenging. I want to help you navigate through these phases with hope; without telling you how to live your life. When we struggle with our mental wellness, the systems around us also struggle, maybe that's your family, kids, pets, relationships, work, friends/social life, etc. In my sessions, YOU can lead the way and I will challenge and encourage you to see beyond the surface.

You can light up a meeting room and light up a joint like nobody’s business, but the one thing you can't seem to do is shed light on why your relationships all end the same way: with her leaving you for a “better” guy. You thought you were her glass of Bordeaux, but to her, you were just Jim Beam. You tell yourself that as a grown ass adult, you should be able to shake this off because unlike a lot of people, you have “the good life”: a job that fulfills you and makes you money, and an endless number of people you can turn to when you want to grab a few beers or fly to Key West for a quick weekend getaway.
