About My Clients
Most repeated traumas are relational traumas and therefore, it is so hard to heal without relationships. Unresolved trauma can often look like anxiety, depression, anger, relationship issues, substance use, and physical pain. These issues can be extremely distressing and isolating. I believe that change is possible for anyone and the good news is that it starts with just one question: "Could there be something better?".
My Background and Approach
I provide trauma-informed and culturally responsive talk therapy. I specialize in working with adults who struggle with unresolved trauma, sexual abuse, anxiety, and depression. As a second generation Asian American, native New Yorker, and New Jersey transplant, I have a special interest in working with people of color, immigrants, and children of immigrants. Having worked with trauma survivors for most of my career, I have witnessed countless stories of how systems (societal, institutional, familial) have hurt my clients. I have also had the honor to witness the incredible resilience that each person carries with them. My work is grounded in relational, trauma informed and motivational counseling theories, integrated with interventions including Mindfulness techniques, Attachment Based Therapy and Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT). My treatment method will always be tailored to you.
My Personal Beliefs and Interests
Working on ourselves is challenging and uncomfortable. Therapy is an investment in yourself, which can feel foreign. It can also be the beginning of building healing relationships. As your therapist, I will meet you with respect, compassion, and without judgment. I hope to empower you to continue showing up for yourself and seek better.
