Great to meet you!

I offer EMDR and Brainspotting therapy through insurance. Are you functioning on the outside, but constantly on edge inside, overthinking, replaying conversations, or feeling emotionally stuck despite “knowing better”, or reacting more strongly than you want to—shutting down, people-pleasing, snapping, or dissociating—without fully understanding why?or carrying the weight of past experiences that still show up in your body, relationships, or sense of self?

Many people come to therapy thinking they just need to “talk it through” or “try harder,” yet distress keeps returning. This often means the nervous system is holding unprocessed experiences.

My approach to therapy

I am here to help you defeat old patterns and create lasting change with my insight-oriented approach that integrates EMDR (EMDRIA), mindfulness (MBSR), Brainspotting, and cognitive reframing.

What you can expect from me

I have extensive experience working with the Asian and BIPOC population and provide culturally responsive care. With a background in corporate, I also support clients navigating career stress, transitions, burnout and immigration related issues. I offer sessions in English and Mandarin Chinese (中文).
