About My Clients
Many of us subscribe to oppressive narratives which we have come to believe as truth about our identities and person hood. As a result, we are left feeling stuck, lost, or leading inauthentic lives. Whether you experience challenges related to anxiety, depression, inter-generational trauma, self-identity issues, or interpersonal relationships, I am here to help you through this journey. I specialize in working with Asian women and clients who struggle with ADHD.
My Background and Approach
As someone who had a diverse upbringing and was exposed to various socio-cultural contexts, I realize that there is a need for individuals to safely explore and navigate the problems they experience in an accepting and non-blaming space. My lived experience has allowed me to become a culturally competent therapist who recognizes the mental health challenges unique to the Asian American experience. Through collaborative conversations and questions, I approach sessions with a focus on nurturing feelings and creating new relational habits that align with your goals, strengths, and values. Together, we will unravel problem stories and identify what gets in the way of your preferred life and relationships. I encourage clients to actively shape their lives with choices that align with their values and aspirations. My work as an Associate Marriage and Family Therapist is grounded in narrative therapy and influenced by the processes of internal family systems and emotionally focused therapy.
My Personal Beliefs and Interests
I believe therapy should be a dignifying experience in which we work together collaboratively every step of the way. Each person enters therapy with a unique set of values, lived experiences, emotions, challenges, and more; as such, there is no one-size-fits-all solution for any given challenge, and each person's healing journey will vary greatly. My job as a therapist is to take into account the complex dimensions and cultural identities of each client, and integrate these as parts of the healing process rather than points of struggle. It is my hope that therapy can empower you to recognize your own power and agency: you have the power to rewrite your narrative and create new meaning that aligns with your values, desires, and identity.
