About Me

Many of us carry emotions that feel too big, too heavy, or too confusing to navigate alone. You or your child may be trying your best, yet still feeling overwhelmed, anxious, or unsure how to express what’s happening inside. You might be feeling lost—uncertain about who you are, where you’re going, or how to reconnect with yourself. My hope is to offer you a space where you can slow down, breathe, and feel genuinely seen.

With roots in both East Asia and the US, I understand what it means to move between cultures, identities, and expectations. This lived experience shapes the way I show up as a therapist—with cultural humility, softness, and deep respect for the many layers that make each person who they are. I welcome clients who are exploring identity, belonging, life transitions, and the tender work of understanding themselves more fully.

As a drama therapist, I bring a gentle blend of creativity, play, and mindful presence into the work. With children, I use role plays, stories, movement, and play to help them process emotions in ways that feel natural and safe. With adults, I offer a warm, steady environment to explore emotions, relationships, inner conflicts, and the parts of yourself you’re still getting to know. I believe healing happens through connection.

Therapy is a brave step. If you’re looking for a space that feels warm, safe, and grounded in curiosity, I’m here. Whether it’s for you or your child, I’d love to support you on this healing journey.
