Therapy Style
My approach to counseling focuses on personal wellness and resiliency, with an emphasis on helping clients identify and gain skills for coping more effectively with life's challenges. My clinical interests include anxiety, grief and loss, academic distress, relationship issues, depression, diversity, multiculturalism, and social justice. While I primarily use Acceptance and Commitment Therapy and Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, the diversity of my training allowed me to cater my interventions to meet the unique needs of my clients. Looking forward to meeting you!

Why did you become a mental health professional?
To bridge the gap in access; to help people identify their strengths and face challenges; to remind them that they are not alone in their struggles.
What are your interests outside of work?
I like hiking, going on walks, and spending time with my family.
Favorite organization/non-profit?
Asian Pacific Family Center because it focuses on the Asian community. They have done a lot of important work within that community when I was volunteering there during graduate school.
How do you recharge?
I like to rest and unplug after work. I also go on walks, cook, and spend time with my son.
