As a relationally oriented clinical psychologist with over a decade of experience in therapy and assessments, I strive to deliver high-quality care using an evidence-based and culturally sensitive framework. I offer a warm, compassionate, and supportive environment. As an Asian American woman and first-generation immigrant, I know how important it is to honor the intersectionalities of our identities. In my clinical work, I help individuals explore and strengthen their sense of self so that they become their own agent of change in finding solutions to their problems and enhancing meaning in their lives.
Professionally, I have worked with individuals from diverse backgrounds and identities across a range of clinical presentations, including adolescents, adults, and families dealing with anxiety, depression, trauma, ADHD, OCD, acculturation and immigration issues, academic and career stress, Asian + American mental health, and women’s mental health issues. I also provide affirming mental health care to the BIPOC and LGBTQIA+ communities. Inspired by my own personal experiences, I am passionate about empowering women and new parents in finding their inner source of resilience and self-compassion as they embark in different seasons of life.
My therapeutic approach integrates a strengths-based model using empirically supported treatment, including acceptance and commitment therapy, cognitive and dialectical behavioral therapies, multiculturalism, and solution-focused therapy. The foundation of these approaches is to teach individuals skills to enhance their ability to notice and make room for thoughts and feelings, especially those difficult ones, and choose to take effective action towards important life goals and align with personal values.
It would be an honor to have the opportunity to build a healing, non-judgmental, and nurturing space with you and to support you in fostering a more joyful, attuned, and intentional way to live life. The motto I often reference is to live happy, healthy, and well in whatever ways that are meaningful to you!
