You deserve a life that feels lighter, with less overthinking, less second guessing, and more room to actually enjoy it.
Culturally responsive therapy for Asian American teens, adults and families navigating anxiety, people-pleasing, family pressure, and trauma. In person in Sunnyvale and online across California.
“She is a skilled provider who is committed to helping her clients find success and create meaningful change in their lives.”
- Rachel Robertson, LCSW
The problem isn’t that you care too much. It’s that anxiety, people-pleasing, and old patterns keep pulling you away from trusting your own voice.
You’ve replayed every situation, asked what everyone else thinks, told yourself to let it go, and somehow your brain is still finding one more thing to overthink.

You show up as you are. We’ll work together toward healing, growth, more confidence, and a life you feel genuinely excited to live.
When You’re High Functioning But Still Feel Overwhelmed
○ You work hard, show up, accomplish the thing, and feel relieved for about five minutes before your brain finds the next thing to worry about.
○ You love your family and you’re trying to make your relationships work, but lately there’s been more distance, irritation, and frustration, and you’re not sure how to feel close again.
○ Someone says something a little bit off, and now you’re replaying the conversation wondering if you upset them or did something wrong.
○ You say yes because you think you can probably squeeze that somewhere in your calendar, and you want to be helpful, but then feel so exhausted and irritated later.
○ You’re trying to enjoy time with your family, but your mind is either three steps ahead worrying about what could happen or stuck replaying what already did.
○ Your teen seems overwhelmed, shuts down when you try to talk, or carries pressure they don’t quite know how to explain.
Because you don’t need to “just relax.” You need tools that actually help when your mind won’t let go.
You’ve tried the breathing exercises, morning routines, social media “reset” tips, talking it out with family, and distracting yourself.
But all of that can help for a minute without changing the pattern that keeps pulling you back into stress, overthinking, and self doubt.
We go deeper than quick fixes, using EMDR, somatic and attachment focused work, and practical tools to help you understand what keeps the pattern going and practice responding differently.
There’s no one way to do therapy here. We’ll go at your pace, stay connected to what feels right for you, and adjust as we learn what actually helps.
A calmer mind. More trust in yourself. Freedom to enjoy your life today.

FAQs
-
You’ll have space to talk, but I don’t want us talking in circles. We’ll look at what’s keeping you stuck, try practical tools and new perspectives, and keep checking that the work is actually helping you move forward.
-
Nope. Family, culture, responsibility, and connection can all matter deeply. We’ll figure out what feels healthy and authentic for you, without assuming caring less about other people is the answer.
-
You don’t have to wait until everything falls apart. If anxiety, stress, people pleasing, or old emotional baggage is taking up more space in your life than you want it to, that is enough to start a conversation.

I'm not in-network with insurances anymore. My value is focusing on delivering high-impact and exceptional care for my clients. So I choose to invest in helping you make progress and real change, and work toward a place where you feel confident navigating life beyond therapy.
When needed, I provide sliding scale fees. I also partner with Thrizer for benefits verification and to submit superbills for you, so you can utilize your out-of-network benefits, and potentially reduce your out-of-pocket costs, depending on your specific insurance plans.
Openings available in person in Sunnyvale and virtually across California.
