Hey there! Thank you for being here. I work with high-performing Asian Americans and LGBTQ+ folx who struggle with anxiety. I understand that struggling with anxiety is incredibly exhausting. Even though your career may be thriving on the outside, underneath those accomplishments, you might be feeling an overwhelming pressure to constantly do more, work more, and be more. The burden of expectations, responsibilities, and chronic stress can be a lot to handle. Overthinking is keeping you up at night, and you might be noticing a bubbling resentment towards loved ones.

I believe the goal of therapy is to create insight and self-awareness. If we are better able to understand who we are and why we engage in the behaviors we do, we are able to make changes in our lives. My job is to offer a supportive environment, in which you feel safe to explore who you are.

I believe in helping clients gain the insight and skills to be able to reach the goals we set at the onset of therapy, and to end confidently and able to handle life's stressors in a healthier way.

Interpersonal relationships are powerful contributors to our overall health. Our intimate partner relationships, family relationships, work or peer relationships tend to affect us in meaningful ways. When our relational lives are strong and connected we feel satisfied, empowered, hopeful, and more confident. When our relational lives are hurting, we feel anxious, sad, pained, frustrated, and left not knowing what to do to improve it. I work with my clients to address the heart of their stressors working toward tangible results with lasting effects. I work collaboratively & passionately to create a safe, responsive, and supportive environment to address your needs.

Working in the field of psychology for over 25 years, I’ve gained both professional and life experience. My specialties include both couple and individual therapy. I was born and raised in Palm Springs. In the past 20+ years, I’ve also become established in San Diego from Los Angeles where I completed my schooling, training and early career. I began as a social worker with in-home foster care, expanding to mental health therapy for children and family systems. Treating individuals struggling with trauma, anxiety, and depression has developed into deeper work with couples improving communication and security in their relationships.

Do you find yourself in a pattern of unsatisfying relationships and you are unsure why? I would like to help you figure out the reason and offer tailored support to find a meaningful relationship or help you transform your current relationship. In my experience one person changing can make a significant impact to the overall relationship. I also enjoy working with couples who are interested in improving their relationship together.
