Great to meet you!

I work with immigrate parents who need support with homework resistance, screen-time battles, power struggles, and other behavior challenges at home — especially in Asian families navigating bicultural parenting.

I help parents manage unwanted behaviors and rebuild cooperation and connection with their children. Whether you’re tired of constant homework fights or overwhelmed by excessive video gaming and school refusal, we will work together to reduce these challenges with practical, structured tools.

My approach to therapy

I am a certified Triple P (Positive Parenting Program) practitioner — an evidence-based model from the University of Queensland designed specifically to help parents manage behavior and support positive family interactions. I offer real strategies you can use right away, not just talk about.

What you can expect from me

My approach is warm, collaborative, and skills-based. You’ll receive step-by-step guidance for difficult conversations, and behavior strategies that support emotional regulation and smoother routines at home.
