Anxiety Therapist for APPI, young or high-achieving professionals

About

Do you lie awake at night with unending worries, watching a to-do list pile up despite your best efforts? Are you constantly showing up for others, but struggling to show up for yourself? I work with people who feel "out of place" between who they are now and who they want to be. Most of my clients identify as the following: young or early career professionals navigating demands of work and personal life, first- and second-generation immigrants of Asian or Asian-American background, and first-time parents working to integrate their new role into their lives.

I have worked in community mental health for several years, supporting high-needs and high-risk population navigating severe mental health illnesses, life challenges, legal issues, and case management. My experience in the community has deepen my understanding of humanness and dedication to accessibility to mental health.

Areas I work with

  • Generalized anxiety
  • Stress
  • Burnout
  • Perfectionism
  • Postpartum anxiety

Approach

I offer a safe space where you can show up as your authentic self. Using a holistic, compassionate, and collaborative approach, I will help you gain insight, identify recurring maladaptive patterns, and realign your identity with your vision for life. Some of my and my clients' favorite modalities and approaches include: psychodynamic, DBT, CBT, solution-focused, person-centered, and trauma-informed.
