With warm curiosity and humor, I use a mix of psychodynamic and behavioral techniques to approach distress and unease. Through collaboratively examining memories and current conflict, we can better understand ourselves and the communities we come from. Allowing the self to come through can lead to increased confidence, self-compassion, gratitude and emotional security.

The timeline of psychodynamic therapy is open-ended, rather than given a hard number of sessions.

Common areas I focus on include PTSD, racial and intergenerational trauma, familial conflict, career issues, identity, grief, and Asian American experiences.

Symptoms can look like burn out, depression, anxiety, and feeling like we’re not functioning like “normal.”

I believe in anti-oppressive practice and my clinical lens is ever curious about the generations before us.
