Making room for others may come so naturally that you don’t always notice when there’s little room left for you. You might say yes before checking whether you want to, keep the peace even when something hurts, or feel responsible when someone is upset. When you do recognize a need of your own, guilt can make you question whether it’s okay to honor it.

Family and cultural expectations can add another layer, leaving you caught between the values you grew up with and the life you want to build. You care about those connections, and you want space to be yourself within them.

My goal is to create a space where you feel safe enough to be curious about yourself, explore difficult emotions, and approach vulnerable parts of your experience with compassion. I hope you leave therapy feeling more connected to yourself and more confident in your ability to navigate your own path, while honoring the relationships and parts of your identity that matter to you.

My Approach

I believe therapy is a collaborative process, with you as the expert on your own experiences and me offering support, perspective, and guidance. Together, we can explore the emotions and patterns that shape your choices and get curious about competing needs, like wanting to care for others while also needing something to change.

Sometimes that means offering direction and helping you explore a pattern or emotion. Other times, it means slowing down and creating space for you to lead the conversation wherever you feel called to go. We can listen to the part of you that feels responsible for others while making room for the part that’s tired, hurt, or wanting something different.

I'm particularly interested in how family, culture, and belonging shape our sense of self and our relationships. Together, we can explore what those experiences have been like for you, what you want to hold onto, and where you might want something different.

My Background

I earned my master’s degree in Mental Health Counseling from Seminary of the Southwest and my bachelor’s degree in Sociology from UT Austin. My clinical experience includes supporting clients through anxiety, depression, complex family dynamics, relationship challenges, and life transitions.

I’m trained in Emotionally Focused Couples Therapy, which informs how I help partners understand patterns of disconnection and build greater closeness. Nearly a decade of experience as a nanny also shapes the patience, curiosity, and respect I bring to working with adolescents.

As an Asian American therapist, I understand that cultural values and mental health stigma can influence how comfortable it feels to seek support. I bring that awareness while staying curious about each person’s individual experience.

Therapeutic Approaches

Person-Centered Therapy

An approach grounded in empathy, acceptance, and the belief that people have the capacity for growth. It supports self-understanding, self-trust, and greater clarity around feelings, needs, and choices.

Internal Family Systems (IFS)

IFS views our inner world as made up of different parts, each with its own feelings, needs, and protective roles. It explores how these parts respond to trauma and painful experiences, encouraging greater self-understanding and compassion.

Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT)

CBT examines how thoughts, emotions, and behaviors influence one another and can keep distressing patterns going. Used for anxiety, depression, and substance use disorders, it offers practical tools for developing more helpful ways of thinking and responding.

Emotionally Focused Couples Therapy (EFCT)

Developed to address relationship distress, EFCT helps couples understand the emotions and attachment needs beneath recurring conflict. It focuses on changing patterns of disconnection and building a more secure emotional bond.

I love painting and climbing. Those activities are my own version of self-therapy.

In 2023, I moved to Thailand to teach English and fully immerse myself in a different culture, especially one where mental health was not so openly discussed.

That experience deepened my understanding of the stigma surrounding mental health struggles. I learned so much during my time abroad, and those experiences continue to inform my work as a therapist.
