I support people experiencing anxiety, intergenerational family stress, emotional burnout, and women navigating pregnancy anxiety and the transition into parenthood. My work is rooted in understanding the unique pressures and experiences that come with being part of an immigrant community. I strive to offer trauma informed and culturally responsive care that acknowledges the layers of your identity by creating a safe space for healing, reflection, and personal growth.

I primarily work with people in Oakland, San Francisco and throughout the Bay Area, as well as clients virtually across California. I also offer walk and talk therapy in the East Bay. Many of the people I work with are adult children of immigrants, women, and mothers. They often feel caught between family expectations and creating their own path and navigating cultural identity challenges. Some are also experiencing stress with dating, relationships, pregnancy, early parenthood, or other life transitions, and want a supportive space to feel truly understood and heard. We work collaboratively in clarifying your goals, values and joy. I bring art therapy into our work together to deepen the work and that can reveal insights that you may not notice when just talking.

I support people with:

• Managing anxiety, stress, and life transitions
• Navigating cultural identity and family pressures
• Working through perinatal anxiety or birth-related trauma
• Learning to communicate effectively and set healthy boundaries
• Exploring relationship and intimacy issues, including cross cultural dating
• Understanding grief through changes and loss
• Finding self-compassion and making space for your needs and feelings
• Building confidence, releasing fear and feeling empowered
