Your Personal Path to Healing
One-on-one therapy sessions designed to help you navigate life's challenges, understand yourself better, and create meaningful change.
A Space for Reflection & Growth
Individual therapy is a collaborative, one-on-one process that supports healing, self-understanding, and personal growth. It is a space to slow down, reflect, and explore how past experiences shape the way you feel, relate, and move through the world today. You are not broken—you are becoming.
The past influences how we love, grieve, cope, and understand ourselves. Many people find themselves navigating unspoken emotions, cultural expectations, or a complicated sense of belonging. As a second-generation Asian American therapist, I understand how layered these experiences can be. Culture and family can be powerful sources of resilience, love, and sacrifice—yet they may also shape how we protect ourselves, express emotions, and connect with others.
I offer individual therapy in San Diego and online throughout California, supporting adults navigating anxiety, trauma, cultural identity, and life transitions.
Rooted in Depth & Understanding
Psychodynamic Therapy
Explore how intergenerational trauma, family dynamics, and early relationships continue to influence your mental health today.
EMDR
Process and heal from traumatic experiences, recognizing and unlearning cycles with compassion and curiosity.
Attachment-Based
Understand how early relationships shape your patterns in love, connection, and emotional expression.
Authenticity is central to the therapeutic relationship. I bring my full, grounded presence into this work and invite you to do the same. In a non-judgmental and supportive environment, we will explore your story together—at your pace, without pressure or pretense.
Understanding Identity & Culture
I offer individual therapy for adults, including culturally responsive care and dedicated support for the AAPI community. Both in-person and telehealth therapy options are available.
If you are seeking a therapist who understands the complexity of identity, culture, and emotional healing, individual therapy can be a meaningful step forward.
