Board Certified Psychologist & Certified Financial Therapist™
Integrated therapy and consultations for professionals navigating identity, life transitions, and their relationship with money
Welcome.
Let’s look beneath the surface.
Success rarely feels the way we imagined it would. For many of my clients: thoughtful leaders, high-achievers, and global professionals, there is a quiet friction between the life they’ve built and the person they’ve become.
You may find yourself asking:
Who am I outside of these expectations?
Why does my success feel so heavy?
How do I build a life, and a relationship with money, that actually fits me?
I provide a specialized space to deconstruct these patterns and build a life that is aligned with your values.
Identity Shifts
From the outside, your life looks stable, perhaps even exceptional. But internally, you may feel restless, as if you’ve outgrown the very identity that once defined you.
Whether you are navigating a financial change, diplomatic transition, or the burnout of a high-impact career, I help you bridge the gap between the old life and the new. We don’t just look at what’s "wrong"; we look at what is ready to evolve.
Boundaries as Bridges
In high-stakes environments, boundaries are often misunderstood as walls. I see them as strategic tools for alignment. Whether it is with family, in leadership, or around your wealth, I help you move from survival-based "people-pleasing" to values-based agency. We look at the cultural and intergenerational narratives that make "No" feel risky, and we build the embodied capacity to say:
This is where I begin.
This is what I value.
This is sustainable.
A Synthesis of Expertise
My work is a deliberate integration of clinical rigor and systemic insight. I provide a non-pathologizing, neurodiversity-affirming perspective grounded in:
Somatic & Polyvagal Approaches: Regulating the nervous system through high-stakes transitions.
Trauma-Informed Care: Addressing intergenerational grief and racial identity with cultural humility.
Specialized Expertise for Healers: Supporting doctors, therapists, and "helpers" navigating moral injury and compassion fatigue.
Financial Narrative Work: Integrating the psychology of wealth with the reality of your identity.
The Perspective I Bring
I am a 1.5-generation Vietnamese-American, a first-generation college graduate, and a traveler of 50+ countries. My lived experience with cultural pressure, invisibility, and migration allows me to see the systems you are navigating with a unique clarity.
My goal isn't to tell you who to be. It is to help you strip away the inherited "shoulds" so you can reconnect with your own truth.
