Have you just ended or started a relationship, career path and feel unsure of the decision? Have you just had a baby and feel completely lost? Are you struggling to help your child with life's challenges? All of us have experienced one, if not all of these life transitions. These different life changes may be normal, necessary transitions, but at times can be very overwhelming and challenging to manage.

I aim to build an empathic and understanding relationship with women and families struggling with postpartum depression, separation or divorce, and parenting. I am bilingual in English and Vietnamese.
While I am here to gently guide you toward insight and growth, I believe in a collaborative and supportive approach in my therapeutic relationship. I am committed to providing a safe environment to uncover underlying barriers preventing you from achieving a more meaningful and fulfilling life.
With over 15 years of experience, my goal in therapy is to help you feel safe and comfortable using an open-minded, warm, supportive and empowering style as we work together in your journey of healing.
