From a young age we are bombarded with messages that we won’t be lovable or successful unless we look a certain way, and social media only reinforces these false beliefs. Whether you’ve struggled for years with self-acceptance or disordered eating, I can help you develop a more joyful, loving relationship with food, movement, and with yourself.

Using evidence-based CBT, ACT, and psychodynamic approaches, I’ll help you unlearn your distorted thoughts about food and exercise, redefine what health means, and redirect your energy toward what you truly value in life.

Trauma comes in many shapes and forms, including child abuse or neglect, physical, sexual, or emotional abuse, racial and intergenerational trauma, or the unexpected loss of someone you love. Often we don’t realize the impact of our trauma until well into adulthood.

I help trauma survivors gain insight into how their trauma shaped their sense of themselves, others, and the world. In our work together, my hope is to build self-compassion for your wounds, shift behaviors and relationship patterns that no longer serve you, and to rewrite your narrative so that your trauma does not define you.

Racial minorities face both subtle and blatant racism, inequity in the work place, and identity questions like, “Do I belong? Am I Asian/Black/Latinx enough?” We navigate systemic barriers to success, acceptance, and connection. As an Asian American woman, I too have navigated these complexities. I draw from both my professional and personal experience to provide people of color a validating, empowering space, and to practice advocating for yourself and building community in the existing flawed system.

The idea of therapy may be stigmatized in your community, or you may have had negative experiences with therapy and medical care in the past. I aim to provide culturally-affirming care, reparative experiences with therapy, and am attuned to how intersecting identities of ethnicity, gender, sexual orientation, socioeconomic status, and religion shape your sense of self and the world.

Young adulthood can be an exciting time, but it can also bring uncertainty as we go through multiple transitions and experience many of life’s firsts. I help people navigate moves to a new state (or country!), early careers, work/life balance, long-term relationships, and bouts of depression or anxiety.

Whether it’s heartbreak, a life change, or exploring who you are, I give my clients a space to process their complex emotions, to learn coping strategies to ease transitions, to practice self-care, and to shed light on their core values, so they can live a more purposeful life.
