As a first-generation immigrant from Southeast Asia, my journey has taken me through Singapore, Taiwan, and Buffalo, NY — experiences that shape how I see culture, identity, and belonging. Outside of the therapy room, you can usually find me cooking, playing softball, snuggling under a heated blanket, or playing fetch with my dog!

Suffering is a natural part of being human. When it arises, it's easy to push through or push down what we feel. But you don't have to. Suffering has an antidote called compassion, which means "to suffer together." This is the foundation of my work. Everyone deserves care and compassion in their suffering and a safe space to be with it all.

She listens without judgement and I feel completely comfortable to be vulnerable with her. I feel safe with her in exposing my inner thoughts and emotions and she is just wonderful. She always has the right thing to say but with purpose not just to bandaid a situation. I truly feel like she is an adequate healer for the soul.
