I support pre-teens and teens through the complex transitions of adolescence—a time often filled with both possibility and overwhelm. Therapy offers a space to slow down, feel heard, and make sense of what they’re going through, at their own pace and on their own terms.

As they build self-awareness, emotional resilience, and self-acceptance, therapy can become a foundation that supports them not just now, but into young adulthood and beyond.

Common concerns I help teens navigate:

• Academic pressure, performance anxiety, and perfectionism

• Depression, anxiety, and emotional overwhelm

• Bullying, social anxiety, isolation

• Family and cultural conflict, especially around intergenerational expectations

• Intergenerational trauma and cultural or historical grief

• Body image concerns, self-harm, and low self-esteem

• Big life changes—such as moving, immigration, changing schools, or experiencing loss

• Coming out, exploring gender identity, or sexual orientation

I have a special affinity for working with teens who are:

• Asian-American, BIPOC, or part of the Asian diaspora

• Navigating multiple cultural identities—including immigrants, international students, mixed-race teens, and transnational adoptees

• Neurodivergent, including those with ADHD and autism

• LGBTQ+

My approach is warm, relational, and grounded in cultural humility. I create a space where teens can bring all parts of themselves—especially those that may feel misunderstood or unseen elsewhere.
