Therapist

Virtual & in-person • San Luis Obispo, CA


As a therapist, I am passionate about walking alongside folks as they reveal their truths and vulnerabilities to themselves. I believe, and have witnessed that people are capable of long standing change with knowledge, support, and connection, and that therapy is a great place for that. You can learn new ways to manage life stressors, feel safe, gain confidence, and live a more joyful and purposeful life. I use cognitive behavioral, solution-focused, and strength-based techniques, while never ignoring the human element and connection where the real change happens.

I have been a Marriage and Family Therapist for 20 years. I am trained and experienced in several modalities including EMDR, mindfulness, Family Systems, Imago, the principles of Interpersonal Neurobiology and early attachment. It has been a profound privilege being on this journey with others. Participating in a process where others dive deep into their vulnerable truth, has given my life great meaning. I've been called to provide a space for others to be seen, heard, and known in the midst of their feelings of shame, guilt, fear, inadequacy, unworthiness, and vulnerability and through their experience of being more truly known be reminded of their profound value and worthiness

Do you ever feel like you’re constantly questioning whether you’re “good enough,” even after working so hard to get where you are? Maybe you overthink every decision, and say yes when you want to say no. If you’re navigating imposter syndrome, people-pleasing patterns, or the pressure of balancing cultural expectations with your own identity, I hear you. As a second-generation AAPI woman, I understand the unique pressures that come with navigating cultural identities, family expectations, and the feeling of being “in between” worlds.
