I am a first generation, Asian American, queer, neurodivergent therapist who specializes in helping clients heal from intergenerational trauma, PTSD, difficult family/relational dynamics, anxiety and depression. My goal is to create a safe and supportive environment where you can explore your emotions, process past and current experiences that keep you feeling stuck and develop coping mechanisms. I hope you walk away from sessions feeling more empowered to make meaningful changes in your life. Whether you're facing past traumas, navigating complex family or relationship dynamics, or struggling with anxiety and depression, I am dedicated to working with you to overcome obstacles and achieve your goals. Our work will address what is at the root of your concerns for sustainable, long-term change. My practice is focused primarily on treating adults who identify as female and being a welcoming space for members of the LGBTQIA+ community. I do not currently treat cisgender heterosexual males, children or adolescents. Please contact me to schedule an initial session and we can discuss scheduling!
What can clients expect to take away from sessions with you?
In our first session together, we will complete a formalized intake and create a treatment plan that supports your goals and therapeutic growth.
Explain to clients what areas you feel are your biggest strengths.
Seeking help can be scary and hard, especially if it is not something you were encouraged to do growing up. As a former and current client in therapy, I understand the transformative power of therapy and finding the right fit. I look forward to connecting with you!

VirtualMy treatment methods
EMDR
In my practice, I utilize EMDR to help clients process and heal from trauma and distressing memories. Together, we will create a thorough assessment to identify the traumatic experiences you would like to address. Then, we will begin the eight phases of EMDR to get you on your healing journey.
Cognitive Behavioral (CBT)
In my practice, I use CBT to help clients address and manage anxiety, depression and phobias. CBT is a structured approach on the connection between thoughts, emotions and behaviors. We will identify negative thought patterns and cognitive distortions that contribute to emotional distress utilizing evidence-based techniques.
Dialectical Behavior (DBT)
In my practice, I use DBT with clients who experience intense emotions, interpersonal difficulties, or self-destructive behaviors. We will incorporate DBT's core components of distress tolerance, emotional regulation, interpersonal effectiveness and mindfulness.
