## This work is often a fit if

- You're a high achiever dealing with perfectionism, people-pleasing, burnout, or high-functioning anxiety.
- You want couples therapy that goes beneath the same fight — including cultural and family patterns between you.
- You want a psychologist who understands Asian American or immigrant family expectations without making that the whole story.
- You want depth-oriented therapy in Los Alamitos, or virtual sessions with a California-licensed psychologist.

## Individual therapy

For adults ready to grow in self-awareness.

You might be the person who holds it together for everyone else. The one people come to. The one who manages, copes, and keeps going even when you're running on empty inside. I work with people who are ready to stop performing okay and start actually being okay.

We'll look at what's underneath the surface: repeating patterns, family history, identity questions, faith that used to make sense but doesn't anymore, and relationships that keep hurting in the same way. For many Asian American and high-achieving clients, that also means unpacking cultural expectations without abandoning the people you love.

I use a psychodynamic approach, which means I care about where things came from, not just how to manage them. We'll work on practical skills too — mindfulness, naming what you actually feel — but the deeper work is about understanding yourself well enough to make choices based on who you really are.

## Couples therapy

For couples wanting deeper connection.

Relationships can get to a place where you're having the same argument on repeat, or worse, not arguing at all because you've both stopped trying. I help couples find their way back to each other.

We'll look at how your individual histories show up in the space between you — family patterns, cultural expectations, and what you learned about love and safety as a kid — including dynamics that can feel especially charged in Asian American and immigrant families.

The goal isn't to assign blame. It's to understand what's actually happening so you can make real changes together. Premarital work using the Prepare-Enrich assessment is also available.
