​​​​Why I Do This Work​

 

I've been where you are.

​

I've done my own healing in individual therapy — working through anxiety, depression, and trauma. Then later in couples therapy with my husband, doing the same kind of attunement work and relationship repairing I now help others do. That journey shaped what I believe: our pain, our mistakes, and our past don't have to hold us down. There is always a path forward, even when we cannot yet see it.​

​

My Approach

​

EFT starts from a simple belief: underneath the anxiety, the argument we keep having, the ache we can't quite name, there is a core human need to feel safe, wanted, and not alone. My work isn't to reason that need away. It's to build the kind of emotional attunement, grace, and hope that makes healing possible.

 

There is always a way through the wilderness.

​

For individuals, that often looks like addressing old wounds that are still shaping how you cope and connect today. For couples, it means interrupting the cycle you keep getting stuck in and rebuilding real safety with each other.

​

I also bring particular attention to the cultural and generational layers that often shape anxiety, family stress, and relationship patterns — especially for Asian American, multicultural, and first-generation clients balancing family expectations, generational differences, and their own sense of identity. That understanding shapes how I train our whole team, not just how I work individually.

Clinical Background​​

 

I received my Master of Science in Counseling Psychology, with concentrations in both Professional Clinical Counseling (PCC) and Marriage and Family Therapy (MFT), from California Baptist University. During graduate school, I worked as an Advocate for Sexual Assault Survivors and as an ABA Behavioral Interventionist. I completed my practicum treating adults with chronic mental illness before moving into private practice, where I trained under a Certified EFT Therapist & Supervisor.

​

I'm now a Licensed Marriage & Family Therapist and the Clinical Supervisor at Behold Counseling, specializing in Emotionally Focused Therapy for both individuals and couples. I personally train and oversee the therapeutic approach every associate uses — so no matter who you work with at Behold Counseling, you're getting attachment-informed, EFT-grounded care I stand behind.

If anything here resonates with you, I'd love to hear your story.

​

"Remember not the former things, nor consider the things of old. Behold, I am doing a new thing; now it springs forth, do you not perceive it? I will make a way in the wilderness and rivers in the desert."

​

Even in the wilderness seasons — the anxiety, the grief, the relationship that feels stuck — I believe a new thing is possible, and that it's often found through relationship rather than in isolation. That is the heart of Behold Counseling.
