About

In my work, I foster a warm, affirming, and honest environment where we can work together as our full selves. My own personal and clinical experiences give me a deep appreciation for the exploration of self, belonging, and connection - they are so important! I am passionate about working with Asian clients and clients that are hoping to gain clarity around their cultural identity. As someone who grew up in a multiethnic household, I have personal experience of what it means to live between cultures, to question where you belong, and to navigate the complexities of identity formation without a clear cultural roadmap. I practice from a compassionate, culturally responsive lens and draw from evidenced-based treatments like Dialectical Behavioral Therapy (DBT) and Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT). Using trauma informed and solution focused interventions, I help clients build emotional resilience and develop practical tools for navigating painful thoughts/feelings.
