Having grown up in the Bay Area, I’ve always appreciated how San Francisco has been on the cutting edge of personal growth opportunities. It’s why I chose to go to graduate school at the California Institute of Integral Studies (CIIS) in San Francisco. The graduate program focuses on depth psychotherapy but also has a holistic approach which includes the mind and body.

I have a license as a Marriage and Family Therapist and my therapeutic style is holistic therapy, meaning that I incorporate different therapeutic modalities, depending on what you are needing. This may include psychodynamic therapy, Gestalt Therapy, Internal Family Systems, mindfulness, Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), Dialectical Behavioral Therapy (DBT), or Solutions Focused Therapy. I have a Masters degree in Counseling Psychology from CIIS and a bachelor's degree from the University of California at Berkeley. As a second-generation Asian American therapist, I have experience helping clients address the complexities of having immigrant parents, being bicultural, and navigating collectivist family dynamics.

I’ve worked in a variety of counseling centers and non-profit settings, including Well Clinic, La Ventana Eating Disorder Treatment Programs, Integral Counseling Center at Church St., San Francisco Marriage and Couples Center and Head Start.
