Individual Therapy
Who I Work With
My clients tend to be Asian and Asian Americans professionals, creatives, activists who despite being "highly functioning" have an internal world that is haunted by the past and present. They often feel unsatisfied, burdened, insecure, resentful, angry and, at times, overcome with emotions. And, they are committed to healing, exploration, and growth.

What is it like to work with me?
In our sessions, I pay close attention to what you are share and how you share. It's not just who you are but what has happened to you, in what context, and what meaning you derive from it. I ask questions. I facilitate a process of intellectual, emotional, somatic (body) inquiry into yourself to help promote healing and growth.
My style is warm, curious, engaged, and collaborative. You will feel both supported by me and, at times, a little challenged by me.
I find that regular meetings with clients is most useful. I see clients weekly or every other week at a set time for a 50 minute appointment.
