LPCC, 8 years of experience
Hello! I'm a Licensed Professional Clinical Counselor (LPCC) based in California. I received my Master's Degree in Clinical Mental Health Counseling from Johns Hopkins University. I specialize in working with children, adolescents and adults with Autism Spectrum Disorder, ADHD, depression and anxiety. My experience includes providing therapy, trainings, facilitating support groups and case management services in various community mental health and public-school settings. I have served as a mental health consultant at Richmond Area Multi-services in San Francisco and a Child and Adolescent Therapist at Children's Health Council. I maintain a client-centered approach and integrate a combination of cognitive behavioral therapy, brief solution-focused therapy, parent-child interaction therapy, trauma-informed care and mindfulness-based interventions to address specific challenges.
In our first session together, we'll start with brief introductions, then dive into the specific challenges you're facing. This will help me create a tailored plan for us to work through in follow-up sessions.
I specialize in working with young children, adolescents, perinatal/postpartum mothers, Asian Americans, and people of color (BIPOC).
My clients are eager to improve, but don't yet have the tools needed to accomplish their goals. They often feel stuck, overwhelmed, and anxious about their future.
In CBT, we will tune into your internal dialogue in order to identify and challenge negative thoughts. Once you become more aware of the relationship between thoughts, emotions and behaviors, we will learn to adopt healthier thinking patterns and habits.
I'm certified in PCIT which is a combination of play therapy and behavioral therapy for young children who age from 2-7 and their caregivers. I work with caregivers to strengthen your relationship with your child and equip you new skills and techniques which help manage your children's emotional or behavioral problems.
I offer an empathic approach that empowers and motivates you in the therapeutic process. I'm committed to provide support, guidance, and structure so that you can discover personalized solutions which work the best for yourself.
