Specializing in Asian American mental health

I understand the unique experiences that many Asian and Asian Americans navigate—including cultural expectations, immigration stressors, identity, belonging, and intergenerational trauma, and the struggles that arise when navigating those experiences such as perfectionistic tendencies, internalization and minimization when managing difficult emotions, difficulties expressing needs and negotiating boundaries, and intense feelings of shame and guilt when not meeting external expectations.

My approach to therapy is relational and collaborative. I pull from Psychodynamic Theory, Emotion Focused Theory (EFT), and Acceptance Commitment Therapy (ACT). These theories support lasting transformation in addition to symptom management. With 15 years of knowledge and experience, I have helped countless clients improve their sense of self and interpersonal effectiveness, set and achieve new personal goals, and reinvigorate hope for the future.
