<\/span><\/div><\/div><\/div>

Our relationships impact the way we treat ourselves. <\/b>Moments in our upbringing or adult life that felt affirming or caused hurt reinforce behaviors and teach us how to be in future relationships. <\/p>\n<\/div>

Transforming the patterns that no longer serve us in our relationships takes great courage, but the joy is in the process of intentionality.<\/b><\/p>\n<\/div>

Together, we can work towards greater acceptance of a self-image that is not tainted by the preferences of others, and build connections with more authenticity.<\/p>\n

My practice is grounded in humanistic approaches that use mindfulness to reduce stress and incorporate solution-focused frameworks to help clients reach their goals. As a systemic practitioner, I utilize a biopsychosocial model of mental health shifting patterned behaviors learned in relationships to help alleviate problems.<\/p>\n<\/div>

I draw from my training and lived expertise that spans an intersectionality of faiths and cultures with an emphasis on the challenges couples and families face. <\/b><\/p>\n<\/div>

As an immigrant, I am passionate about working with BIPOC, LGBT+, and Asian-American populations. Together, let us build a safe therapeutic relationship and empower you to step towards your potential today.<\/p>\n

Outside of therapy, I love testing out different Asian recipes in my kitchen. I also enjoy baking (currently on cookies), connecting with nature, playing video games, and hosting boardgame nights with friends. I am a proud \u201cguncle\u201d to a dachshund, a Pomshi, and a Kunekune, all of whom I adore dearly.<\/p>\n<\/div><\/div><\/div>
