The process of change and healing is challenging. Healing is hardly a singular upwards track and in fact, there are multiple ups and downs. Healing is an adventure that takes us outside of our comfort zone and our ‘norm’ to find self love and show up as our authentic selves in all areas of our lives. We step outside of the standards and experiences we thought were protecting us and in actuality, they were our survival mechanisms that are no longer functional for us through our healing process. We may feel defeated or isolated when we feel stuck. My experience has shown me that people are resilient and able to heal and grow.
I specialize in working with couples and individuals struggling with issues such as racial and generational trauma, anxiety, self-esteem, infidelity, and drug/alcohol abuse. I offer a safe, empathic space for my clients to feel they are not being labeled or stigmatized, which allows for emotional vulnerability, hope, and compassion to heal and thrive.
You deserve a space to feel seen and to feel heard. Your voice matters. I will be honored to walk alongside you in your journey of self love and authenticity. My hope is we can collaborate in order for you to find your light, to find what makes you feel alive and feel free, and show up as your authentic, genuine self in all areas of your life.

Do you feel anxious about your safety or your family's safety? Have you been treated differently by people around you because of hate rhetoric that has accused the AAPI community for being the cause of this pandemic? Your feelings are valid and you are not alone. The media coverage may have died down but hate crimes are still happening. If you're looking to process your trauma and looking for answers on why you're experiencing this, come join this group starting March 19th. (Group held via Telehealth only.)
