I hold a Master’s degree in Social Work from the University of Illinois. I specialize in trauma-informed care, eye movement desensitization reprocessing (EMDR), cognitive behavioral therapy, and solution-focused therapy, helping clients process stressors, strengthen somatic grounding, explore the mind-body connection, and connect with supportive networks.
I specialize in supporting adults, especially people of color and clients of Asian descent, facing anxiety, PTSD, family issues, and emotional dysregulation. I empower clients to process trauma, build self-awareness, improve social skills, and set goals for personal growth and emotional stability.
In a first session, you can expect a warm and welcoming environment focused on understanding your unique story. I begin with a thorough assessment, asking thoughtful questions about your background, current concerns, and any previous experiences with therapy. I listen attentively to help you feel heard and respected. I encourage you to share your goals and what you hope to achieve through therapy, whether it’s managing stress, improving relationships, or personal growth. I also explain my therapeutic approach and answer any questions about the process, ensuring you feel comfortable and informed. By the end of the session, you will have a clearer understanding of the therapeutic journey ahead and how I can support you in reaching your goals. My empathetic and collaborative style helps lay the foundation for a trusting and effective therapeutic relationship from the very beginning.
