You’ve spent years molding yourself to fit others’ expectations—now you’re wondering who you really are. I help AAPI, LGBTQIA+, and high-achieving clients untangle identity, perfectionism, and people-pleasing to build authentic self-worth. Through EMDR, Narrative Therapy, and ACT, we’ll heal inner critical voices and reclaim the parts of you that were never the problem. It’s time to feel at home in your own skin.

You crave closeness, but relationships often feel confusing, overwhelming, or unsafe. I work with adults navigating insecure attachment, abandonment wounds, or toxic relationship cycles—especially within AAPI and LGBTQIA+ communities. Using EMDR, EFT, and somatic tools, we’ll explore early attachment injuries and help you build secure, grounded connections. You’re not “too much”—you’ve just never felt fully safe before.

Whether you're stuck in the same fight, feeling emotionally distant, or struggling with trust, I support couples in rebuilding connection through Emotionally Focused Therapy (EFT). I specialize in queer relationships, interracial dynamics, and identity-informed care. Together, we’ll untangle stuck patterns, repair attachment wounds, and strengthen communication. Love can feel safe again—with the right support.

I specialize in Emotionally Focused Therapy (EFT) to help couples move from disconnection to secure, loving bonds. I work with queer couples, interracial relationships, and high-conflict dynamics through an attachment-based lens. My approach is warm, structured, and trauma-informed—supporting partners in breaking painful cycles, deepening intimacy, and learning to turn toward each other with trust and empathy.

I use EMDR to help clients process relational trauma, identity-based wounding, and stuck beliefs tied to low self-worth and people-pleasing. Especially effective for AAPI, LGBTQIA+, and high-achieving clients, EMDR helps untangle the emotional residue of past experiences so you can respond to the present with clarity instead of survival mode. I’ve completed advanced EMDR training with a focus on attachment and cultural sensitivity.

At the heart of my work is a person-centered, trauma-informed approach grounded in empathy, authenticity, and unconditional positive regard. I believe you are the expert of your experience, and my role is to create a safe, affirming space where your full self is welcomed. This foundation supports deeper healing through EMDR, EFT, and Narrative Therapy. Clients often tell me they feel truly seen—maybe for the first time.
