About My Clients

I specialize in working with young adults, Asian Americans, and LGBTQIA+ individuals navigating depression, anxiety, stress, trauma, identity exploration, and life transitions.

My Background and Approach

I offer holistic, non-judgmental, and eclectic counseling tailored to your needs. My style is conversational and collaborative, helping you feel safe, truly seen, and heard. I integrate practical tools with curiosity and care, and I bring humor and a relaxed, down-to-earth tone to create a comfortable, supportive space for growth and healing. I utilize Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, Acceptance and Commitment Therapy, Trauma-Informed Therapy, and Humanistic Therapy. I also pull from other treatment methods depending on your treatment goals.

My Personal Beliefs and Interests

I became a therapist to be the kind of person my younger self needed—someone who offers a safe space to feel deeply, embrace vulnerability, regulate overwhelming emotions, and nurture both self‐compassion and compassion for others. My hope is to be that person for my clients.
