I've always been struck by the quiet strength people carry - the resilience it takes to keep going when the world hasn’t made it easy. In my work as a therapist, I’ve come to understand resilience not just as survival, but as a deep longing to feel seen, safe, and whole. Whether you’re navigating the fallout of a breakup, feeling numb to things you used to love, or questioning your place in the world, therapy can be a space to come home to yourself.
As a second-gen Asian American, my work is deeply shaped by the stories I carry - of my father surviving a refugee camp after fleeing Vietnam, and my mother rebuilding her life after leaving China. I hold deep respect for what people do to survive and understand how heavy those strategies can feel over time.
I mainly work with BIPOC, immigrants, refugees, and survivors to navigate trauma, anxiety, depression, and major life transitions. I’m especially attuned to the invisible burdens our communities carry: unspoken grief, chronic vigilance, cultural disconnection, and the pressure to be okay even when you’re unraveling inside.
My style is warm, intuitive, and relational. I blend psychodynamic and somatic approaches with practical tools to help you make sense of the past, reconnect to your body, and build a more grounded present. Therapy with me might look like following a thread that makes no sense, until it suddenly does. Or sitting in silence that holds more than words ever could. We’ll find a rhythm that feels true to you.
