Please Email to reach me. Taking new clients in Jan 2025. I specialize in helping those living with marginalized identities (BIPOC, LGBTQIA, immigrants) and ready to make lasting changes. Perfection, anxiety, grief/loss, complex trauma, and chronic medical conditions keep you in constant overwhelm. Stress can show up as sleep disruption, GI issues, or performance issues (work, sports/athletes, or shows/artists). I also work with caregivers and healthcare providers (doctors, therapists) feeling burnt out. Many come to therapy to deal with unhealthy patterns and leave the session with deepened awareness, clarity, and hopefulness.

We begin by exploring what are struggling with and noticing where you feel in your body. I invite you to fully engage and stay curious. My approach is holistic and specialize in Brainspotting to help you feel lighter. Brainspotting is a brain-based therapy and a trauma-processing modality that is relational, somatic, and mindfulness-oriented.

As an Asian clinician, creating a safe space to process life experiences for those who have felt like an outcast is my mission. I will guide you to explore your inner landscapes to identify patterns, to remove obstacles, and to cultivate a personal practice that feels empowering to you. You are one step closer to feeling lighter by reaching out. Let's begin.
