I am so glad you found me here! I know how hard it is to find the right fit and therapy can be intimidating, but you are making a brave step towards a new beginning with AM Therapy.
I am a first generation Asian American woman in my early 40s, married with three children, and enjoying my spare time playing tennis. As a Licensed Clinical Social Worker #92513 with the California Board of Behavioral Sciences, I have been practicing psychotherapy since 2019 with training in Evidenced Based Practices (EBP) and Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT).
I specialize in supporting women through life transitions. Specifically moms who are feeling overwhelmed, returning back to work or experiencing postpartum depression and anxiety. I help you restore energy, develop coping mechanisms, establish a routine, obtain more social support, and feel empowered in motherhood.
If you are a post graduate or professional questioning your career path, not feeling good enough due to high expectations or struggling with imposter syndrome, I can help you discover your true self and purpose, focusing on your strengths to obtain more clarity and work life balance.
My clients are also individuals with relationship, family or marital issues, trauma or grief. I normalize your feelings and thoughts, process fears about the past or future, and empower you to live in the present moment. I will help you gain self confidence, reframe your negative ruminating thoughts to more positive ones, and cultivate calmness internally with mindfulness and relaxation techniques.
I hold a Master of Social Work degree from New York University with an Evidence Based Project award certification for the New York State Office of Mental Health Deans of Social Work Consortium. My Bachelor of Arts in Psychology is from University of California, San Diego.
Prior to AM Therapy, I have over a decade of invaluable work experience at the Veterans Affairs Healthcare System in West Los Angeles and Long Beach as an Administrative Program Coordinator/ Senior Clinical Social Worker, Certified Mentor and Team Lead for Social Work Services Department.
Schedule a free 15 minute phone consultation with me to answer any questions and see if I am the right fit for you. I look forward to meeting you soon and helping you heal.
