You’ve spent years holding everything together for your kids, your career, and your family. You’ve taken care of everyone else while quietly setting your own needs aside. Now the distance between you and your partner is harder to ignore. The tension lingers, conversations stall, and the same arguments keep circling back. You want to feel close again but aren’t sure where to start.

I work with couples in the middle of life’s transitions, whether you’re juggling parenting and partnership or adjusting to a quieter home. When life moves fast, connection can slip away without anyone meaning for it to. Together, we slow things down so you can really hear each other, rebuild trust, and find new ways to communicate that help bring the warmth and honesty back into your relationship.

A strong part of my practice focuses on supporting teens and young adults who are trying to find their footing in a world that often feels uncertain. Many feel caught between pressure, expectation, and a kind of quiet loneliness that’s hard to name. Therapy offers a trusting space to explore identity, emotions, relationships, and life transitions while processing and healing from trauma and building the resilience to move forward with greater confidence.

I’m a co-author of Asian American Chronicles: Tales of Mental Health and Hope, a book that looks at how cultural values can sometimes create confusion or stress that affects our mental well-being. I enjoy working with people of all or no faith backgrounds and find deep fulfillment in helping those new to therapy make sense of their thoughts and feelings and feel more known, accepted, and at ease.

My approach is warm, collaborative, and often lightened with humor because laughter has its place in healing too. I enjoy art, food, personal finance, and sports, and often bring these interests into sessions to help clients connect with and deepen their understanding of their mental health. When you’re ready to make meaningful changes, I’m here to help you get started.

Outside of therapy, I enjoy relaxing on a cruise ship, exercising, and evaluating new inventory at Costco by smoking meats for a backyard BBQ.
