I am currently licensed to provide telehealth therapy to clients residing in California, Washington, and Oregon. As a second-generation Asian American immigrant, I have experiential understanding of the complex intersections of culture, family expectations, and identity that many individuals—especially from Asian and other immigrant cultural backgrounds—navigate daily. I specialize in helping adult clients and parents (ages 18–85) untangle painful family dynamics, work through cultural and intergenerational conflicts, and heal from relational wounds and past trauma. I offer a compassionate, collaborative space where we can explore and challenge unhelpful thought patterns, break cycles of emotional pain, and move toward healthier ways of relating—with yourself and others. I also work with clients experiencing anxiety, depression, low self-esteem, academic or career stress, spiritual conflict, grief, and behavioral struggles such as substance use, compulsive behaviors, and lifestyle challenges rooted in unresolved trauma. My approach integrates evidence-based practices with cultural sensitivity and a strong belief in your ability to grow, heal, and reconnect with your sense of purpose. If you're feeling stuck in painful patterns or difficult relationships, I invite you to reach out and begin your journey toward greater clarity, connection, and emotional freedom.
The first session is about getting to know each other and identifying some treatment goals you would like to work on in therapy sessions. I will also go over important information, such as informed consent and what it might look like to work with me. My hope for you is that at the end of each session you have with me, you will have more positive emotions, such as hope, clarity, and confidence to navigate the challenges you face in your life.
My work with clients is deeply intuitive and I rely on a variety of tools and therapeutic approaches. Most significantly, I practice deep listening and like to allow God's wisdom and the Spirit to enlighten the work I do with my clients. I am finite in knowledge, understanding, and resources, but I am grateful that i am able to tap into the infinite Presence to meet the needs of those who come to me.
Clients who benefit from services with me are open to trying new things, being challenged to learn a new way of thinking or approaching a problem, and are open to honest self-reflection and feedback from me.
I use an integrative approach of a variety of evidence-based therapeutic modalities to inform my practice. A few of these include cognitive behavioral therapy (CBT), dialetic behavior therapy (DBT), mindfulness based therapies, acceptance commitment therapy (ACT), and logos therapy. Although similar issues and problems arise from many clients, I am client-centered and work to develop a treatment plan based on the unique differences each client presents with in each session.
