My Background and Approach

My priority is to create a space that feels safe and comfortable for you to bring your full self to the counseling room. This means holding space for your wins, losses, joy, and pain. I take a collaborative approach and enjoy utilizing a relational and emotionally focused approach. I may also utilize behavioral approaches when helpful. Healing and hope are possible, and we can find it together.

Why I Became a Therapist

My desire to become a therapist began when I walked through my own spiritual and cultural deconstruction, which led to first hand experience of my own depression and anxiety. Part of my healing has been creating space to advocate for my intersectional identities as a second generation Taiwanese American woman and mother, and process the grief that comes from institutional religious and emotional trauma. Now, I believe uncertainty can feel clear, our stories are nuanced, and healing is collective.
