Licensed Marriage & Family Therapist in Irvine, CA

About My Clients

I work with individuals navigating anxiety, relationship stress, life transitions, grief, and periods of feeling overwhelmed or stuck. Many of my clients are high-functioning but feel anxious, disconnected, or emotionally exhausted beneath the surface. They’re looking for a supportive space to better understand themselves, improve their relationships, and move forward with more clarity, confidence, and balance.

My Background and Approach

My background as a therapist is grounded in specialized training in Emotionally Focused Therapy (EFT), grief education, and experience conducting immigration psychological evaluations. These areas of focus have shaped both how I understand emotional distress and how I support individuals through meaningful and often complex life experiences. I believe that healing begins in a safe, supportive, and collaborative space where clients feel seen, respected, and understood. I am trained in Emotionally Focused Therapy, an evidence-based approach that focuses on emotional connection, attachment, and patterns within relationships. EFT guides my work with individuals who are experiencing anxiety, relationship distress, and emotional disconnection. Rather than focusing only on symptoms, I help clients explore underlying emotional experiences and attachment needs that influence how they relate to themselves and others. This approach allows for deeper insight and secure connections.
