I draw from a range of approaches in my work - Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, Family Systems, and Psychodynamic. I believe that there is no one-size-fits all and tailor to the needs and personalities of my clients for the best collaborative work. I also use mindfulness techniques in the sessions, and pay attention to how culture and spirituality impact one’s well being and healing process.
My areas of expertise include supporting:
Teens dealing with anxiety, depression, and relationship conflict
Women in navigating anxiety, fostering greater self-esteem, and cultivating self-compassion
Asian Americans exploring identity, addressing family conflicts and intergenerational trauma, setting healthy boundaries, and nurturing meaningful relationships.
Individuals going through life transitions and processing loss.
Couples recently engaged or looking towards marriage. I use SYMBIS (Saving Your Marriage Before It Starts) as an assessment tool to support couples build a healthy foundation for their relationship. Sessions are designed to hold conversations about topics including personality and family dynamics, intimacy, conflict resolution, and money.
If any of the following resonates with you, we may be a great fit:
Struggling with a critical inner voice and perfectionism and seeking to cultivate self-compassion and self-acceptance
Dealing with complex relationship dynamics involving immigrant parents and desiring guidance in navigating those challenges

In our work together, I am here to:

Guide you in rewriting negative narratives about yourself and your world - enabling you to embrace a more positive and empowering outlook
Provide you with effective tools for healthy communication
