About My Clients

Healing looks different for everyone and the right support makes all the difference. I work with clients navigating anxiety, perfectionism, multicultural concerns, racial identity, infertility, grief, and childhood wounds.

My Background and Approach

As a therapist of color raised by immigrant parents, that background shapes how I show up for you: with cultural understanding, genuine empathy, and non-judgment. In addition to therapy, I offer wellness workshops and retreats. My practice partners with a Healthcare Leader providing coaching for early-career nurses and young AAPI men. My approach integrates cognitive behavioral strategies with deeper emotional exploration. We will take a look at patterns in thoughts and behaviors while also exploring underlying feelings and past experiences. I practice through a multicultural lens that is mindful of systemic influences. The goal is to find the most meaningful path forward in your life.
