About

Therapy works when it is honest and specific. Vague reassurance helps no one; naming the exact thing wearing you down changes everything. I built my whole practice on that belief. I spent several years in administration before returning to clinical work, and the return confirmed where I belong: across from one person, doing the real thing. My clients tend to be capable adults stretched thin across too many roles at once. Most arrive depleted and unable to point to a single cause, because the causes are everywhere. We get specific, we get organized, and we get you back to a size of life that actually fits. As an Asian American therapist, I pay close attention to the scripts about achievement and duty that so many of us inherit. I also see how much invisible labor my clients carry before they ever reach my calendar. Expect clarity, honesty, and steady progress you can point to. If that sounds right, get in touch.
