Grief counselors and therapists in Pleasanton, CA

I have been a counselor for more than 30 years. I remain passionate about making a difference in the lives of others and believe that genuine caring is an essential element to an effective counseling relationship. Over the years I have worked with clients with significant trauma and loss. I consider it a privilege to stand with another individual as he or she resolves great pain. I specialize in treating clients with trauma, relationship issues, and borderline personality disorder.

I’m a Taiwanese American therapist who works with second-generation immigrants, people of color, women of color, and queer folks navigating the pain of disconnection—from self, from family, and from the world around them. Whether you're carrying intergenerational trauma, struggling with self-worth, or moving through the quiet grief of not having had space to simply be—you’re not alone.

Many of the people I work with are holding complex identities and untold stories: navigating cultural differences, the pressure to meet others’ expectations, or the silent weight of being “strong” for everyone else. You may find yourself questioning who you are, what you need, or how to trust your own voice.

As a daughter of immigrants, I understand how difficult it can be to navigate your sense of identity and self across differences in values systems and beliefs. My work is shaped by Buddhist values of compassion, loving-kindness and patience of the full human experience.

I am a bilingual (English/Spanish) licensed mental health professional and clinical supervisor with more than 18 years of experience supporting individuals across the lifespan. I provide telehealth services to clients in Arizona, California, Connecticut, Florida, Georgia, Texas, and Virginia.

My experience includes working with children, adolescents, adults, and older adults. I believe that each person brings unique strengths, abilities, and experiences to their journey, and I strive to create a supportive, compassionate, and collaborative space where you can feel heard and understood.

My goal is to work alongside you to navigate challenges, build on your strengths, and develop practical tools to support your mental health and overall well-being. I look forward to supporting you on your journey toward greater health and wellness.
