who i work with

I work with people who want to understand themselves more deeply, build meaningful relationships, and move beyond patterns that no longer serve them.

You might be navigating family or relationship challenges, figuring out who you are outside of other people's expectations, or learning how to honor your own needs while staying connected to the people you care about. Maybe you're ready for something to change, but you're still figuring out what that change looks like.

I'm open to inquiries of people from all backgrounds. I am especially committed to working with BIPOC, Queer, and especially Asian and Pacific Islander clients. Our cultural backgrounds, family experiences, identities, and communities can shape how we see ourselves and relate to others. I want to make space for those experiences in our work together, without assuming that any two people share the same story.

I also welcome the many ways identities intersect, including being BIPOC, queer and/or neurodivergent. You don't need to leave parts of yourself at the door to make sense of your experiences.

areas of practice

My main areas of focus include: relationships, self growth, attachment, and childhood wounds. Here are some of the things that we could work together on in therapy:

• Understand, shift, deepen, and strengthen personal relationships (familial, friendships, work, romantic)

• Unpack and work through childhood experiences

• Foster emotional intimacy and connection with your partner

• Engage in self exploration. Explore, develop, strengthen your relationship & connection to yourself

• Increase your self understanding

• Create and strengthen boundaries to preserve relationships and care for yourself

• Increase your emotional availability and vulnerability

• Navigate difficult and/or complex relationships

• Practice and embrace self compassion, love, and acceptance

• Engage in identity work

• Work through attachment issues/concerns

• Navigate through life transitions

• Find ways to manage stress, and practice self care

  You may be wanting help with:

• Navigating closeness, obligation, boundaries, or conflict within family relationships

• Understanding how culture, identity, and belonging have shaped your sense of self

• Feeling responsible for other people while struggling to identify your  own needs

• Wanting deeper relationships but finding vulnerability or emotional expression difficult

• Trying to understand yourself beyond the roles and expectations you’ve carried for years

  This list is not exhaustive. I would love to hear from you, and invite you to contact me for an introductory call to see if we align in your vision for therapy.
