What can clients expect to take away from sessions with you?
At your first appointment, we will go over policies and consents to ensure that we have details, such as confidentiality, privacy, and attendance expectations, cemented. Following that logistical intro, we will discuss the reasons you have decided to reach out for therapy/counseling and your goals. I can also answer your questions and explain what you should expect from therapy. Together, we will begin to identify your goals, develop a plan, and discuss how we will know you have met these goals. Please be sure to complete all your electronic intake paperwork prior to your first session. This allows for us to dive right in and maximize our sessions.
Explain to clients what areas you feel are your biggest strengths.
My ideal client is curious and committed to their healing journey. Often, my clients are POC and have a history of childhood trauma or intergenerational trauma. Asian American clients often seek me out because of my ability to relate and understand their cultural and familial experiences. I've been told that my approach, personality, and demeanor is approachable. Clients feel relieved to know that I just "get it" and they don't have to explain themselves over and over again. Other clients appreciate that I can incorporate faith and spirituality into the session.

VirtualMy treatment methods
Trauma Informed Care
I am a trauma informed clinician, meaning that I am trained and specialized in treating trauma of various sorts, including but limited to intergenerational trauma, complex trauma, and childhood trauma. Often times, clients are not aware about the impact of trauma in their lives and how much relief can be achieved if trauma informed care is incorporated into treatment.
EMDR
I am recently trained in EMDR and am pleased to be able to offer this specialized therapy to treat EMDR from a bottom-up approach. This means we don't always need to know the specifics or have the exact memory of the trauma in order to decrease distress. It is often considered a "magical" sort of therapy because we allow the brain to do the healing work, often without many words being exchanged!
