About

If you are here, something in you is still reaching for a better way to live, even if it does not feel that way today. I want you to know that counts for a lot. I spent years in hospital programs alongside people in their hardest seasons, and I learned that recovery rarely looks dramatic; it looks like small honest steps. Many of my clients carry an exhaustion that sleep never seems to touch. Others describe a heaviness that makes even good news land dully. As an Asian American therapist, I understand how much pressure can hide inside the word family, and how rarely anyone asks how you are really doing. My approach is validating first: your reactions make sense given what you have been carrying. From there we practice grounding, simple ways of coming back to your body and this hour when everything speeds up. I try to offer the kind of steady, unhurried presence many people never got. There is no rush here and nothing to prove. When you are ready, reach out.
