Are You Taking Care of Your Heart?
Culturally-Responsive Care
Growing up in an immigrant Asian American household, I developed a nuanced understanding of cultural values, intergenerational trauma, identity formation, and stigma. As an LGBTQ+ clinician, I am deeply committed to serving and supporting my community.
I take on a collaborative, strength-based approach to therapy, where clients discover their identities, values, worldviews, or even behavioral patterns that are not serving them.
Regardless of your background, you deserve to be heard and healed.
Dating/Relationship
I specialize in working with individuals experiencing emotional distress or other hardships in dating, as well as couples who wish to foster healthier, stronger relationships.
Self-esteem, attachment styles, preexisting trauma/wound, insecurity, communication patterns, and social norms surrounding dating all impact relationships in different ways.
My work aims to guide people to love the way that is true to themselves.
No one can love you as deeply as you can love yourself. Love you before anyone else.
Healing from the Loss of Love
My main specialty is the Loss of Love — whether that be a partner, family member, friend, or yourself.
This can include heartbreaks, infidelity, disconnects from family or friends, gaps in expressing love, or just feeling a little hard to love yourself.
Healing is not easy or quick, but you don’t have to go through that journey alone.
My Approach
My main modalities include Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), Psychodynamic Therapy, and Emotionally Focused Therapy (EFT). My clinical style incorporates a strong therapeutic bond, light humor, and challenging questions that foster personal growth.
I work with clients on tackling anxiety, depression, trauma work, life transitions, and when you don’t feel like yourself anymore.
I also specialize in Couples Therapy, where communication/behavioral patterns in relationships are challenged, promoting growth both as individuals and as a couple.
Your heart is as vast as the ocean. You can fit in it.
