Hi, welcome;

I’m so glad you’re here.

I am an Asian American Associate Marriage & Family Therapist with training in somatic and body-based therapy, parts work, and EMDR.

I support clients in finding greater steadiness within themselves, deepening their relationships with themselves and others, and gently tending to the experiences that continue to shape how they move through the world. Together, we make space to understand what has been carried, what has been learned for survival, and what may be ready to soften or shift.

My hope is to offer a space where you feel seen in the fullness of your identity, relationships, culture, and lived experience. A space where you can move at your own pace, listen more closely to yourself, and begin to cultivate a deeper sense of connection, self-trust, and alignment with who you are.

Trauma-informed and LGBTQIA+ affirming.
Special welcome to BIPOC, Asian and Asian Americans, and children of immigrants.

    Specializations:

    • Anxiety

    • Depression

      • Anxiety and overthinking

      • Perfectionism and fear of making mistakes

      • Feeling responsible for everyone else’s emotions

      • Relationship patterns that feel difficult to break

      • Low self-worth or a persistent sense of “not being enough”

      • Hypervigilance or always feeling on guard

      • Grief, loss, and difficult life transitions

      • Recurring nightmares or distressing memories

      • Feeling disconnected from yourself or your emotions

  • Relationship centered therapy focused on building trust and connection.
