I am so glad you’re here.

​

I understand how daunting it can be to take steps towards healing. Perhaps you feel misunderstood by the people around you. Or perhaps you are accustomed to confronting problems alone, without the help of others. Whatever you might be facing, I am here to assure you that you are not alone.

​

My approach to therapy is, first and foremost, rooted in warmth and compassion.

​

I am passionate about working with individuals through issues related to past traumas (whether “big” or “small”). I understand the hurt, confusion, anger, and disbelief that overwhelms you when you experience something acutely painful. Traumatic experiences can leave you lingering in a dark spiral that seems never-ending. In our time together, I will help guide you towards different perspectives that can shine light through the darkness you have been feeling stuck in. We will work as a team to explore and alter the disempowering stories that no longer serve you.

 

As a child of immigrants, I understand that starting therapy can be difficult and confusing. Having to reconcile the contrasting values, opinions, and expectations that come with living with multiple cultures can be painful. It can be tough to know where to start, especially when you have been told to be “strong” or to push through any hardships on your own. My own experience in therapy led to the realization that identifying and expressing emotions with others is not something innate, especially when it is not emphasized or modeled at home. As an Asian-American therapist, I strive to provide a compassionate space for those who may be struggling to identify their emotions and make sense of their therapeutic journey.. In working together, I will provide a space where you can slow down, get in touch with your feelings, and pinpoint the goals you would like to achieve.
