About My Clients
I work with adults who often feel overwhelmed, anxious, or like they don’t quite fit in. Many are navigating low self-esteem, loneliness, relationship challenges, work or college stress, career uncertainty, and life transitions. I also support neurodivergence, disability, identity exploration, as well as how traumatic experiences continue to show up in daily life. I especially welcome Highly Sensitive Persons (HSPs), BIPOC, and children of immigrants.
My Background and Approach
My approach to therapy is relational, collaborative, and centered on your experience. I use a person-centered, trauma-informed lens, which means we move at a pace that feels safe and respectful of where you are. I draw from a range of approaches, including attachment-based, narrative, CBT, and ACT, and adapt how we work together based on what feels most helpful for you in the moment. This might look like exploring patterns in your thoughts, emotions, and relationships, understanding how past experiences show up in the present, and finding ways to respond to yourself with more understanding, especially when you feel overwhelmed, stuck, or unsure of yourself. At times, we may also focus on practical coping strategies and tools to help you feel more grounded in daily life. Our work often balances reflection with support that is both insight-oriented and practical, depending on your needs.
My Personal Beliefs and Interests
I am a second-generation Southeast Asian American woman and also identify as neurodivergent and a Highly Sensitive Person. These parts of my identity have shaped how I understand belonging, identity, and what it can feel like to move through spaces where you feel different or unseen. My lived experiences inform my work as a therapist and my commitment to creating a space where people feel respected, understood, and not alone in what they are carrying. I value approaching therapy with curiosity, care, and respect, and believe deeply in the importance of being met in these ways during times of struggle. Becoming a therapist grew out of both personal experience and a desire to offer others the kind of presence and understanding that can make difficult experiences feel more manageable and less isolating.
