Frequently Asked Questions

  • A consultation call is a free 30-minute phone call where we discuss your goals for therapy and what you are looking for in a therapist. We can also assess if we are a good fit! You are welcome to bring any questions you have into this conversation. We can also discuss logistics, such as if you would like to meet in-person, virtually, or hybrid, payment, scheduling, etc.

  • I use Ivy Pay, a HIPAA-compliant application that securely captures payment information. Once we have set this up together, I can simply press “charge” after each session and we should be good!

  • Our first 6-12 sessions should be weekly in order for us to get to know each other and establish rapport. After that, we can assess whether sessions can be spaced out or not; this will be dependent on how you are doing in therapy.

  • Growing up, I witnessed the mental health struggles of my Asian-American friends while also experiencing my own share of turbulent times. As I progressed throughout my education and clinical training, I observed the lack of culturally competent care and the scarcity of AAPI mental health providers. I seek not only to provide representation for my ethnicity within these professions, but also strive to provide a safe space for exploring cultural factors and experiences.

  • Since childhood, I’ve been fascinated by psychology and sought to understand the motivations behind people’s thoughts, emotions, and behaviors. This curiosity, combined with personal experiences, a natural role as the support person within my friend groups, and a desire to be of service to others, led me to pursue and attain a B.S. Neurobiology at University of Texas at Austin, an M.D. at UT Southwestern, and later, an M.A. in Professional Counseling at Texas State University. I’m committed to continually learning - not only to better support my clients, but also to nurture my own sense of curiosity and growth. I believe that therapy is one of the most empowering and life-changing experiences a person can have, and I’m honored to walk alongside you on that journey.
