About

Sometimes jumping into the unknown may feel unpleasant, not knowing what the outcome may bring. However, one of the best things about therapy is that you don’t have to do it alone. I can reassure you that you already possess the strength and resilience from navigating difficult life experiences, surviving, and having the will to seek help to get you to the next step in your journey. My experience: I am a licensed marriage and family therapist with over 10 years of counseling experience working in community based mental health clinics and public K-12 schools in the Bay Area. I provided individual, group, family, and parent/caregiver counseling, and crisis counseling with children as young as 6 years old, adolescents, teens, adults, and families. I also educated school staff on mental health, trauma, self-care, suicide prevention, and strategies to support and engage youth virtually during this pandemic. I celebrate and empower all identities and abilities in all bodies. I have experience supporting Black, Latinx, Asian, and LGBTQ youth and their families. I am passionate about reducing mental health stigma in Asian American Pacific Islander (AAPI) communities, supporting those hurt by racial trauma and empowering marginalized youth to believe they can achieve their vision of success. I have supported clients coping with depression, anxiety, family issues, grief/loss, parenting issues, relationship issues, ADHD, learning disabilities, gender and sexual identity issues, physical abuse, sexual abuse, self-harm, suicide ideation, separation, multigenerational trauma, substance abuse, poverty, domestic violence, and gang violence. I have experience working with clients with Mood Disorders, ADHD, Behavior Disorders, PTSD, and Anxiety Disorders. Services: I provide child and adolescent individual therapy, adult individual therapy, couples and family therapy.
