You thought your life would be figured out by now. But life doesn’t look the way you expected it. No matter how hard you work, nothing you do ever feels good enough. Being stuck in your thoughts paralyzes you with making decisions. You don’t want to make mistakes. To the outside world, it seems like you always have it together. Yet in reality, you constantly feel unsure—as if you are doing life “wrong.” You feel trapped in your mind instead of truly living your life. Battling with your thoughts have left you overwhelmed, exhausted, and feeling alone. You know that change begins with you, but you’re not sure how or where to start.

Therapy is for anyone who wants to live, love, think and feel better. As an Asian American therapist, I provide depth-oriented, culturally responsive care and specialize in anxiety, depression and grief with a focus on your racial/cultural identity. My goal is to help you let go of societal and familial expectations, deepen an understanding of yourself, and cultivate the confidence to navigate life’s obstacles by (re)discovering your sense of self and purpose.
