Supporting Your Journey 

Healing is not linear. It’s a journey with ups and downs, and that’s okay.

WHY I BECAME A THERAPIST...

I had a deep desire to help others, support personal growth, and contribute to mental and emotional well-being. I’ve always felt a strong sense of empathy and connection with others, and I wanted to use these qualities to support individuals in navigating their challenges. I also wanted to make a meaningful impact on people’s lives by providing support, guidance, and a safe space for personal development. 

CLIENTS I LOOK FORWARD TO WORKING WITH?

I enjoy working with individuals and couples that are motivated to do the work and dig deep to explore their inner workings. I enjoy helping you learn about yourself and validate your experiences. Through this process of deep exploration, it helps you also learn to understand your choices and actions you make. For couples, our work helps deepen understanding and repair past hurts. 

 

 I also enjoy helping the BIPOC community process minority stress, trauma experiences related to immigration, discrimination, and prejudice. I specifically enjoy working with first and second generation Asian-identified adult individuals and intercultural couples. I also am trained to work affirmatively with the LGBT+ community and support clients exploring their sexuality and gender identities. 

​

Top Challenges I Work Best With:

- Asian Identified Minority Stress & Issues  

- Women's Issues 

- PTSD/Trauma Recovery 

- Multicultural Couples

What does starting therapy look like?
If you are interested in working with me, please call us at 949-329-5233 or fill in the contact form below and a representative from our office will get back to you to see if I would be a good fit for your needs. 
If it is deemed we are a good fit, you will receive your intake documents through your email to be completed electronically in the client portal of our electronic health record. There will be about 6-8 pages to sign in order to begin services, including informed consent forms, intake questionnaires, demographic questionnaires, and credit card form, etc. The exact forms will depend on the treatment service and the need for counseling. 
What can I expect in a first session?
During the first session, I will cover the practice policies and go over your intake questionnaires to ensure we have a good grasp for establishing treatment goals. The first session will be used to gather more information about yourself (or your relationship with your partner), your relationship with the problem at hand, and establishing clearly defined goals for treatment, as well as establish therapeutic rapport to ensure a comfortable space for your continued growth in treatment.

Theories I use to help you reach your goals...

I utilizes a humanistic, client-centered approach. Through a culturally responsive lens, I will support you in breaking down cultural, generational, and societal norms to empower you to be your most authentic self. 

 

Wondering whether you should start now or later? 

I know it can be hard to make the decision to start something, especially if it is surrounded with social and cultural stigma. But helping yourself become a better version of yourself, should not be something you feel you need to hide. Take the steps today to change your patterns and start a new chapter in your life, where you are in control.
