The Therapist

Finding a therapist who feels like the right fit matters. I come to this work not only with professional training, but also with the lived experience of navigating change, identity, loss, and life’s many transitions.

I am the child of immigrants, a wife, a mother, and someone who has experienced the profound loss of a parent to cancer. Therapy is not my first career, and my path here has been shaped by both personal and professional transitions. These experiences do not make our stories the same—but they have deepened my appreciation for how vulnerable it can feel to ask for support.

My goal is to offer a space where you can feel seen, heard, and respected as you explore what matters most to you. I cannot promise that change will always be easy, but I can promise to meet you with honesty, compassion, curiosity, and a steady presence.

Outside of my work, I enjoy discovering new coffee shops, savoring a good milk tea/matcha, creating cozy and organized spaces, refining my hot pot recipe, singing karaoke, and getting lost in music.

I believe healing can include both the difficult work and the small moments of joy. Wherever you are in your journey, you do not have to navigate it alone

The Approach

My Approach to Therapy

I believe therapy is a collaborative process rooted in trust, curiosity, and respect. You are the expert on your own life, experiences, and values. My role is not to tell you who you should be or what choices you should make, but to walk alongside you as you make sense of your story and move toward the life and relationships you want.

Listening With Care

Our work begins with listening. I strive to understand your world with openness and without judgment—making room for the pain, uncertainty, questions, and hopes you may be carrying. Feeling genuinely heard can be a powerful first step toward healing, clarity, and connection.

Creating Space for Your Story

I approach therapy with empathy, warmth, and respectful curiosity. Together, we create a space where you can show up as you are and share at a pace that feels manageable.

As our relationship develops, I pay attention to your self-awareness, emotional capacity, and the ways your nervous system responds to stress, safety, and connection. This helps us approach challenging experiences thoughtfully, without rushing or overwhelming you.

Integrating Insight and Healing

Drawing from attachment-based approaches and an understanding of the brain and nervous system, I help clients explore how life experiences have shaped their relationships, sense of self, and patterns of coping.

Together, we may look at the influence of family relationships, community, culture, identity, and past experiences—both the painful and the empowering. By understanding these influences with compassion, you can begin to recognize patterns that no longer serve you and create new possibilities for yourself.

My hope is that therapy becomes a place where you can reimagine what safety, connection, and self-understanding feel like—within yourself, in your relationships, and in the world around you.

The People I Serve

Support for Life’s Many Seasons

I provide therapy for adults, couples, and families navigating the many complexities of life, relationships, identity, and change. My work is rooted in cultural humility, inclusivity, and respect for each person’s unique story, values, and background.

Whether you are feeling overwhelmed by daily pressures, adjusting to a major transition, grieving a loss, or hoping to feel more connected to yourself or the people you love, therapy can offer a supportive space to pause, reflect, and move forward with greater clarity.

I especially enjoy working with:

• Students and professionals who are managing stress, burnout, identity exploration, and the demands of school, work, or family life.

• Couples in every stage of their relationship—from dating and premarital counseling to long-term partnerships seeking deeper connection, healthier communication, or support through difficult seasons.

• New mothers and parents as they navigate changing roles, shifting identities, family dynamics, and the emotional adjustments that can accompany parenthood.

• Individuals in transition, including career changes, relocation, relationship changes, parenthood, or other meaningful life milestones.

• People experiencing grief and loss, whether related to the death of a loved one, the end of a relationship, a change in health, a dream that has shifted, or another meaningful loss.

• Clients exploring identity and belonging, including the impact of culture, family-of-origin experiences, intergenerational patterns, and personal values.

An Affirming, Inclusive Space

I am LGBTQIA+-affirming, sex-positive, and committed to creating a warm, nonjudgmental, and inclusive space for people of all identities, relationship structures, cultural backgrounds, and lived experiences.

If you are moving through a period of change, loss, uncertainty, or growth, you do not have to carry it alone. I would be honored to walk alongside you with compassion, curiosity, and care.
