Obsessive-compulsive disorder therapists & psychiatrists in Murrieta, CA

You may be used to holding everything together while privately feeling anxious, overwhelmed, exhausted, or stuck. Perhaps you find yourself overthinking, struggling to focus, feeling disconnected from yourself, or noticing that difficult experiences from the past continue to affect your life.

I am a Licensed Psychologist who works with adults experiencing anxiety, depression, ADHD, OCD, trauma, and PTSD. I strive to provide a warm, culturally responsive, and supportive environment where you can feel understood without judgment. My goal is to meet you where you are while helping you gain greater clarity and move toward meaningful change.

I specialize in working with adolescents, young adults, and high performers—including Division I athletes, professionals, and anyone striving to meet high expectations. In my work, I’ve learned that growth happens at the edge of comfort—where support and challenge meet. My clients often tell me they appreciate my ability to be both direct and deeply compassionate, creating a space where they feel seen, understood, and encouraged to move forward.

Born in Taiwan, raised in Southern California, and trained in San Francisco and New Mexico, I bring a blend of cultural humility, life experience, and professional training into every session. As an Asian American therapist, I value identity, culture, and lived experience as essential pieces of healing. I aim to create a space where you can show up as your real self—without judgment, without masks.

I believe therapy is most effective when you feel genuinely heard, respected, and understood. My approach is compassionate, direct, and solution-focused, with a strong foundation in trauma-informed care. I work collaboratively with clients to understand not only what they're experiencing today, but also how past experiences may be shaping their present. Whether you're navigating grief, trauma, anxiety, relationship challenges, addiction, or major life transitions, I strive to create a safe, confidential space where you can explore difficult emotions, develop practical coping skills, and move toward lasting change. My goal is to help you build resilience, gain insight, and leave each session feeling supported, empowered, and hopeful.

I am a licensed therapist who specializes in anxiety depression and behavioral addictions such as gambling, gaming, shopping, and technology use. I became an LCSW because, quite simply, I love people and have the deepest respect for all living things. I have a masters in Social work and background in Psychology, Sociology and Education. I believe that every individual has innate strengths and my goal is to help you tap into yours. Whether you are in a difficult life transition, navigating healthy relationships, or looking to understand yourself more deeply, I am here to empower you so that you can move from feeling "stuck" to feeling capable.

Outside of the therapy room, I am a proud mom and dedicated reader. As someone who identifies as a lifelong learner, I will bring curiosity and warmth to every session. In addition to my private practice, I am a crisis clinician. This background has sharpened my ability to remain grounded, and provide a safe, stable space even when a situation may feel the most chaotic.
