About My Clients

My clients are Asian American adults who often feel anxious, overwhelmed, or burdened by family and cultural expectations. Many are high achievers who appear “put together” but struggle with self-doubt or burnout. Together, we explore the roots of these patterns, process trauma, and build a more grounded, self-compassionate way of being.

My Background and Approach

I’m a licensed therapist based in Irvine, California, specializing in helping Asian American adults heal from anxiety, trauma, and the weight of cultural and family expectations. My background includes extensive training in EMDR and trauma-informed approaches, which I integrate with relational and culturally responsive therapy. I believe healing happens in connection—when you feel truly seen and understood. In our work together, I’ll help you uncover how past experiences and intergenerational patterns shape your present, while developing tools to feel calmer and more grounded. My style is warm, collaborative, and deeply respectful of your unique story. Whether you’re navigating burnout, perfectionism, or a sense of disconnection, therapy can be a space to reconnect with your authentic self and create a life that feels aligned with who you truly are.
