When I left my job in engineering to pursue a passion in therapy, I was rocked with the amount of stress that I experienced. I grew up being told that success was measured by meeting the expectations of those around me. Naturally, making a decision for myself at this scale felt very out of place. I had no idea what to expect and was terrified. But when I look back at this experience, I realize I also unknowingly entered a journey of self-discovery. I began to learn about myself and the life I wanted to create.

As an Asian American, I am continuously learning about how my experiences have shaped my identity. I’ve learned the value of unlearning shame and embracing who I am. Coupled with finding healing in my own therapy, I’ve grown to see the value in promoting mental health and its impact on both the individual and the surrounding relationships. I believe each person has the ability to achieve their dreams and goals, and my goal is to provide a space where you are safe to be your authentic self and fully accepted.

There is a deep-seated need for control and security in all of us. We want to feel prepared for what’s ahead and know we have the ability to handle whatever life throws our way. However, life can be unpredictable, and challenging situations can arise unexpectedly. It is natural to experience emotions such as anger, sadness, or shame when faced with difficulties. The pressure to solve problems can quickly become overwhelming. It’s important to remember you aren’t alone in your journey, and with the right support, you can overcome any obstacle that comes your way.

Therapy is a collaborative process! We’ll work together to process your emotions and thoughts, experience healing, and develop ways to face life’s challenges. I want you to feel heard and validated, and our relationship will be built on empathy, support, and acceptance. Together, we will find a deeper understanding of your needs and experiences, so that you can make meaningful steps towards achieving your goals. I’m excited to work with you and walk alongside you!
