Change is only another word for growth, another synonym for learning.

Licensed Clinical Social Worker in San Francisco, CA

About My Clients

I work with individuals and families ready to take control of their lives and create meaningful change. I support children, adolescents, and adults facing challenges such as anxiety, depression, stress, self-esteem struggles, relationship issues, and life transitions—whether navigating changing roles, career shifts, relocations, or daily challenges.

My Background and Approach

Life isn’t always easy, and there’s no guidebook for navigating its challenges. Some days are great, others are just okay, and some leave you wondering, What is going on? The hardest part can be making sense of these moments, regaining control, and not feeling alone. I’m here to support you through those difficult times—whether you’re overwhelmed by emotions or feeling stuck in patterns that no longer serve you. Together, we can explore new perspectives, develop tools to manage stress, and break free from limiting beliefs that hold you back from true happiness and fulfillment. Maybe you’re struggling with expectations—your own or those imposed by others—and searching for your authentic voice. Or perhaps life transitions aren’t unfolding the way you anticipated, leaving you feeling uncertain. Whatever you're facing, I tailor my approach to your unique needs, goals, and aspirations, empowering you to take charge of your journey.

My Personal Beliefs and Interests

I believe life is a continuous journey of growth and learning. Along the way, we all need support—someone to listen, reflect, and help make sense of life’s challenges. As a first-generation daughter of Vietnamese and Chinese immigrant parents, I witnessed the mental health struggles they faced but never addressed due to cultural stigma and fear of being seen as weak. Their experience is not unique, and it’s one of the reasons I became a therapist. I welcome clients from all backgrounds and respect each person’s unique experiences, identities, and beliefs. My goal is to provide a supportive, nonjudgmental space where you feel heard, understood, and empowered on your journey.

I offer online counseling in the following states:
