Are you experiencing low mood, anxiety, or struggles with self-esteem? You may notice excessive sadness, chronic worry, or avoidant behaviors that make it hard to reach out for support—especially if you’ve been taught to minimize your own needs. These experiences can deeply impact your mental health, but you are not alone, and you are worthy of care.

I believe that AAPI individuals, LGBTQIA+ communities, and those from diverse cultural or spiritual identities, deserve a safe, affirming therapy space where they feel truly seen and heard. Your mental health and well-being matter—fully and without exception.

Trauma can live in the body and mind long after an experience has passed, often without our awareness or consent. You may find yourself questioning early childhood experiences, noticing repeated emotional patterns, or experiencing increased stress and relationship ruptures in your current life.

Trauma is both personal and systemic, shaped by family history, culture, religion, and the social systems that we have integrated into our lives. In therapy, we can process these experiences together at a pace that feels safe, helping you reclaim agency and reconnect with your authentic self. What you were born into does not define you—you have the capacity to heal, realign, and choose a direction that supports your well-being.

Feel like you’re too self-aware? You know all the “problems” but have no idea where to start or begin in trying to “fix it”?

You’re not a problem to be fixed. Your experiences are apart of you (whether we like it or not). Your awareness is all up in trauma-brain — let’s work towards moving this experience inward to allow you the opportunity to process in a safe space together.

Are you in a relationship but feeling stuck in the same unchanging patterns? Or do you find yourself avoiding relationships altogether due to childhood relationship role models or cultural-family dynamics?

In therapy, we can explore your family systems and relational history to better understand the emotional defenses and roadblocks shaping your current relationships. Together, we’ll gently challenge these patterns and support you in building healthier, more fulfilling connections.

Grief. Anger. Rage. Overwhelming sadness. Confusion.

All of these emotions encapsulate what can be called a hypervigilant state of being. Therapy can help you emotionally process these experiences safely. You can learn to help your body, and your brain, move through this overwhelm instead of simply ‘‘getting over’’ it. Having and creating space to intentionally process is important. Let’s do it together.
