Introduction

I am dedicated to fostering inclusivity and providing an affirming space for all Asian Americans. Having navigated many of the challenges you may face, such as mental health stigma, cultural identity, and intergenerational trauma, I want you to know, I get you. Its hard sometimes, but I’m hear to listen and help. My approach centers on cultural humility, actively listening and respecting your lived experiences while recognizing how cultural factors have made it difficult for Asian Americans to seek out therapy. Together, we can navigate race, identity, and personal growth, working toward healing, resilience, and change. Our thoughts, feelings, and actions are interconnected, when one changes the others follow. In my 5 years working as a therapist I have utilized Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) to help my clients reframe their thoughts, reduce stress, anxiety, and burnout, and develop healthy coping skills to tackle life's challenges. I understand the challenges you face, and I’m here to provide a safe, supportive space for you to explore your thoughts and experiences. You deserve a therapist who truly listens, understands, respects your identity, and values your journey. If you’re ready to begin your path toward healing and growth, I invite you to reach out. I got you.
