Welcome! I am passionate about treating teens and adults struggling with depression, anxiety, and PTSD. My goal is to support you in developing tools to understand your emotions, tolerate difficult emotions, have more fulfilling relationships, and create your life worth living. I have extensive background in using DBT, CBT, and mindfulness approaches. I also believe that providing a safe, non-judgmental relationship is key to the process of healing. As a first-generation Asian-American, I understand the importance of exploring the impact of intergenerational trauma, culture, and family dynamics on mental health. Both the explicit and implicit messages from our families and society can inadvertently invalidate our emotions and experiences, and cause immense emotional pain, confusion, and worthlessness. If you are looking for a compassionate, supportive therapist who believes in each person's ability to grow, please reach out. I offer a free 15 minute phone consultation to see if I would be a good fit for your needs and to answer any questions you may have. It would be a privilege to walk along side you on your journey of healing and growth.
