Welcome!
I am a therapist committed to providing culturally sensitive care, thoughtfully customizing each session to address your unique needs and goals. My specialties include trauma recovery, grief, depression, anxiety, and stress management, with a focus on fostering resilience and growth. With significant experience supporting individuals from diverse Asian cultures, I deeply value your cultural heritage and spiritual beliefs as integral to your journey toward emotional well-being.
More that fifteen years of teaching English and drama at a Los Angeles public high school taught me many things - primarily, it taught me how often people's barriers to achievement are not due to any lack of skill or ability, but rather from emotional barriers stemming from stress, adversity and trauma. So, I went back to graduate school to pursue a new career as a therapist so that I could help in a different way. My training and experience has focused on treating anxiety disorders, PTSD (including Complex-PTSD) and also couples - helping them to navigate challenges and triggers so that they can reset and reconnect.
I focus my clinical work with adults (BIPOC, college students, young professionals, creatives, first/second-gen adults) who have been facing and overcoming emotional wounds, self-worth struggles, race related stress, cultural identity conflicts, anxiety, and depression. In our work together, we can understand patterns and be curious of emotional reactions and responses. Being able to look inward can be a courageous next step into finding wholeness and into creating change.
I'm currently accepting in person clients only for Monday's.

Headway makes it easy to find support for your mental health — from finding the right provider, to understanding costs, to scheduling with ease.
Finding the right therapist in Los Alamitos starts with getting clear on the type of care you need. Therapists, counselors, and psychiatrists each offer different kinds of support. If you're looking for talk therapy for concerns like anxiety, depression, stress, or relationship challenges, a licensed therapist (such as an LMFT, LCSW, or psychologist) is a strong starting point. If you may need medication management, consider a psychiatrist or psychiatric nurse practitioner.
Los Alamitos sits at the border of Orange County and Long Beach, giving you access to a large pool of licensed providers across both regions. When evaluating a therapist, look for someone with experience in the specific area you want to address. Reading a provider's bio can give you a sense of their approach and style before you commit to a session.
Therapy in Southern California can be expensive without insurance. Using your in-network benefits is one of the most reliable ways to reduce what you pay per session. On Headway, you can enter your insurance details to see estimated session costs upfront. Nationally, Headway partners with over 100 insurance plans, and many patients pay as low as $0 per visit. Costs vary based on your location and specific coverage, so confirming your benefits before booking is a good first step.
