My personal goal is for my clients not to need therapy. I specialize in working with people who are journeying toward a meaningful life, connected to their values. To move forward past the day to day struggles, get unstuck, and live in alignment with your authentic self. I am a 1.5 generation Chinese-Filipina immigrant who grew up in the SF Bay Area and I have been a therapist for 15 years. My journey to becoming a therapist started after college, working with children who were unable to live safely in their communities and placed in residential treatment, as well as working with children in schools and temporary housing. My experience ignited curiosity and passion for social work, studying how we become who we are. My practice is rooted in social justice, which informs my perspectives and techniques. My therapeutic style is active, collaborative, and solution focused with a touch of humor. I am a certified EMDR practitioner and certified Perinatal Mental Health Professional. I have a breadth of experience working with folks from diverse backgrounds, situations, and diagnoses.
