Accepting Clients

I am an Asian-American therapist (fluent in Cantonese) that uses culture and identity to approach my work with individuals and couples.

Licensed Marriage & Family Therapist in Pasadena, CA

About My Clients

Life can feel overwhelming at times. Anxiety, trauma, relationship and family difficulties, might be some of the issues you are tackling in life. You might need some help and someone that can really listen. Maybe you want some solutions to ease mental distress or to work on relationship issues with your partner, family, friend or child. I will work with you to heal, cope, and achieve harmony.

My Background and Approach

My approach is warm, non-judgmental, and goal-oriented. When clients first start therapy, I will learn and understand client's history, establish a comfortable connection where they feel safe and heard. I tailor my therapeutic approach based on the individual needs and personalities. I think of my approach as collaborative where we work together so you can eventually find your place in yourself, your relationships, your family, and/or this world. Many Asian Americans reach out to me for therapy services, but I've worked with the people of varying socioeconomic status, the LGBTQ community and other members of the Black Indigenous and People of Color (BIPOC).

My Personal Beliefs and Interests

I believe that you have the power to figure out your wants, needs, and desires. I believe that sometimes we do not grow up learning the tools to understand ourselves, or grew up in an environment that did not teach us how to love ourselves. That's how we end up lacking in self-esteem, self-worth, and maybe some insight into our psyches. I think that in a nurturing environment and with some extra tools, people are able to build their self-esteem, self-worth, and therefore discover themselves. My job is to walk by your side, support, and guide you to the best version of you.
