Each individual has so many valued strengths and my focus is using those abilities to help you be the best version of yourself. I strive to create a welcoming, warm environment where you can feel comfortable to share, process, and grow.

I am a Master’s level licensed social worker, my graduate degree obtained from the University of Pittsburgh. During my education I had the opportunity to study abroad and enhance my cultural awareness by building my respect and empathy for others while celebrating differences and similarities. Having married into an Asian-American family I value the beauty of different cultures and traditions. We are all humans with innate needs for safety, wellness, and meaningful relationships with others.

I have numerous years of experience working in the mental health field in various capacities. I also have extensive experience in working with women and helping them navigate the complexities of their new postpartum life, this includes postpartum depression and anxiety, and adjusting to motherhood. I have experience working with families with young children, focusing on child development and parental support. I have medical experience in Acute and Critical Care and have supported patients and families alike during those difficult seasons of illness. I have walked with families through the aging process and dealing with grief and loss. Grief is not linear and there are no time-constraints for it; I have the capability to guide you towards healing by providing you comfort and a space to process freely. I am a firm believer in self-determination and meeting clients where they are; providing support in whatever capacity is needed at that time. 

​

I am also Level II certified through Columbia University’s Center for Prolonged Grief for Prolonged Grief Disorder Therapy. 

I look forward to meeting you where you are, as you are.
