Clients I Work With

Highly skilled Asian American therapist providing specialized treatment to help adults who are driven and successful yet struggle with chronic stress, imposter syndrome, burn out, and complicated family relationships cope with our stressful world and more effectively resolve relationship conflicts in a way that aligns with your values. Get unstuck, feel more calm, live life with confidence.

Approach

I utilize a trauma-informed and culturally responsive approach as we work together on healing from the exhaustion from being constantly on alert and taking care of everything and everyone. You can learn how to break generational patterns of overwhelm, grief, shame, and guilt to create a happier and meaningful life that aligns with your personal values instead of a life based on what others think you should have, where you can more effectively communicate what you want and confidently say no to the things that you don’t want. Many of my clients say that after specialized trauma-informed therapy where we use Brainspotting and Internal Family Systems, they have clarity and are more confident in taking action to improve their life. Brainspotting is a body-brain based therapy and Internal Family Systems is also known as parts work.

Beliefs & Lived Experience

Therapy with me is a safe and supportive environment that is welcoming, reassuring, and affirming, balanced with science and wisdom. I can help you move from feeling stuck or overwhelmed, over thinking, ruminating, people-pleasing, and imposter syndrome towards feeling restored, recognizing your strengths, discovering skills to improve your life, and becoming more resilient to life’s challenges. I am trained in therapies that go beyond traditional talk therapy so that we can address unresolved emotional pain and physical stress in ways that are healing and at a pace that feels safe and comfortable for you. My personal experiences have shaped my work as a therapist. This includes growing up as the eldest daughter of Taiwanese immigrants, living in France as a new mom, advocating for social justice, and parenting my teens.
