I know seeking therapy is scary, but I want to make this a welcoming and comfortable experience for you. Life has many ups and downs and we all need guidance sometimes. I am trauma informed and have over twenty years of working experience outside of counseling. I know the privilege I have as a cis gendered, heterosexual, light skinned Asian American woman, but I also know the flip side of being a minority in a majority white city. We can discuss and unpack your trauma together in a supportive environment. Whether it be depression, anxiety, stress or trauma, I can help you overcome it.

It can be challenging to feel like you're not progressing when you feel the weight of trauma, anxiety and depression. Sometimes we need a space to process thoughts, emotions and life experiences, and sometimes we need practical coping skills to make it through the day; oftentimes, we need a combination of both. My hope is to continue providing individuals with the space they need to feel heard, and the tools they need to feel self-aware and self-empowered.

It can be easy to fall into the habit of not prioritizing ourselves. Therapy can be a great way to provide space for us to get honest with ourselves and to explore our thoughts and emotions more intentionally. My clients are those who are open and motivated to explore insights and to become closer aligned with their authentic self and values. As a proud child of immigrants who values diversity, I hope for my practice to be a safe space for all with the inclusion of every ethnicity, race, religion, disability, sex, gender, sexual orientation, gender identity/expression.

I firmly believe that the family is the foundation for all positive culture and society. If the married couple remains strong, the family will most likely be healthy, thus avoiding many troubles caused by separation or divorce. I long to help families become strong and healthy so that the children may feel secure and confident at home. I desire to work with children, teens, individuals, and couples on a variety of issues, including depression, anxiety, trauma/PTSD, Multicultural/Identity issues, infertility, marital concerns, adjustment to life transitions, parenting skills, as well as spiritual concerns.

I specialize in working with Asian and Asian Americans with a psychodynamic framework which is an evidence based approach to lasting change.
You are “highly functioning”. You have succeeded in most of the ways that were expected of you. Most people look to you for direction, leadership, and support. And, you have a different internal life. You feel resentful of all the obligations put on you. You struggle with intimacy. You feel alone despite having a large social network. You worry a lot. You have a hard time knowing what you need. You feel disconnected from yourself. You feel tired. You want more.

As a 2nd gen Asian-American born to immigrant parents, my cultural identity has been one of depth and confusion. Holding values from my parent’s home countries, mixed with my American values; it has widened my understanding of mental health from a cultural lens. I'd like to provide a space for those exploring their identities and culture and how it has played a part in your upbringing and development. I understand family values are important, but sometimes can conflict with our own individual goals and experiences. In the space, I hope you can feel comfortable to casually show up as you are.

I am passionate to work with those who have a strong desire to seek freedom from the negative impacts in the cycle of abuse and trauma. Many of my clients describe themselves as those who live with complex trauma, meaning they have experienced a number of compounding traumas throughout their lives. My goal is to create safety for my clients as they process their story while being met with compassion and strength to move forward into healing. Due to my previous career in crisis response I also find honor in supporting those who have experienced secondary trauma by way of first responder, service provider, or helper.

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.
