My Approach to Helping

Are you experiencing a significant amount of anxiety and at times stuck in a negative loop? Are you unsatisfied with your sex life or feeling stagnant in your relationship? Perhaps it has been difficult to date, form new relationships, or thrive in your current one. I help clients celebrate their unique strengths and reconnect with their bodies in a safe and supportive way. I also provide tools to decrease anxiety, overthinking, and self-blame.

Three words clients would use to describe my sessions are insightful, direct, and empowering. I work best with individuals who are curious about themselves, motivated to do homework, and excited to be their most authentic selves. Our sessions are semi-structured and I see you as the expert of yourself. I pull from evidence-based practices (a.k.a researched interventions) and will provide you with tools you can implement into your daily life. With the help of therapy, you'll be able to form positive relationships with yourself and others and heal deep wounds that have held you back. I understand that trauma is a sensitive and difficult topic to talk about, which is why I make it a priority to ensure you are as comfortable as possible by going at your own pace.

As a Thai woman growing up in an Asian community, I understand the negative impacts of limited conversations around sex, intimacy, and mental health. Through my experience and personal therapy, I realized I had to play a key component in starting these important conversations, which is why I pursued a career as a sex therapist. Sex is part of the human experience and I find intimacy to be a special moment shared among humans. I enjoy tackling challenges and finding individualized solutions for each client and couple. I believe pets are our best friends, so if you have a companion who wants to join our sessions, they are more than welcome. I know finding the right therapist can be a hurdle, which is why I offer a free 15-minute consultation call. I would love to hear your story and how I can help. Please send me a message to get us started.

More Info About My Practice

I find passion in treating trauma, desire discrepancy, relationship intimacy, and dating. By using a trauma-informed approach, I aspire to serve as a mediator in your relationship, bridging communication free of shame and embarrassment. It's important to understand how past trauma is disrupting your sexual relationship with yourself and others and identify ways to restore control. I help couples strike a balance between needs and wants by finding a compromise that works for both people, without sacrificing personal growth. I also offer support to singles who are looking to find their match in the dating world.

Upon earning a Master’s Degree in Counseling at Cal State Los Angeles, I have treated individuals and couples with sexual trauma, desire discrepancy, and self-esteem. My previous work with autism spectrum disorder (ASD), substance use disorders, and sex offenders, has influenced my decision to pursue sex therapy as my primary specialty. Growing up in a Thai household, I experienced first-hand the detriment of avoiding such important conversations, particularly around depression, anxiety, and dating.
