She/her/hers
Whether you are grappling with emotional pain stemming from a traumatic experience, navigating the complexities of challenging relationships, coping with a terminal illness, or mourning the loss of a loved one, I am here to provide you with compassionate support as we explore your strengths and embark on your healing journey.
At the core of my practice is the unwavering belief in nurturing humble and deeply empathetic relationships with my clients. My goal is to empower you to realize your full potential and find solace in the face of adversity.
I employ an integrative and holistic approach that draws from various therapeutic modalities, including Acceptance and Commitment Therapy, Existential Therapy, Narrative Therapy, Motivational Interviewing, and Structural Family Therapy. These approaches allow me to tailor my guidance to your unique needs, respecting your individuality and experiences.
Throughout my career, my primary focus has been on addressing domestic violence and sexual trauma. Following the completion of my clinical education, I served as a mobile crisis clinician with the Boston Emergency Services Team, working closely alongside esteemed psychiatrists in the mental health field. This invaluable experience equipped me with a robust skill set encompassing psychiatric evaluations, crisis intervention, and the management of treatment referrals for patients with diverse psychiatric diagnoses.
Growing up as an immigrant within a household that blended East and Southeast Asian cultural influences, I have a deep-rooted interest in working with Asians and Asian Americans who face cultural and generational conflicts within their families. My clinical approach is imbued with cultural sensitivity, empathy, and a complete absence of judgment. By embodying humility, respect, and openness, I strive to cultivate a secure and trusting environment where you can feel heard, understood, and supported in your healing journey.
