Personal bio:
You may be navigating a disconnect in your relationship, adjusting to a major life transition, or trying to reconnect with yourself and the world around you. Maybe you’re balancing the pressures of a high-stress environment with relationships at home, or you’re working to reintegrate into a familiar or new life context. At the core, you want to feel understood, rebuild trust, and find a sense of stability and connection within yourself and your relationships.
Therapy with me is a collaborative and person-centered process. Using an integrative systemic framework, I draw on evidence-based models to develop interventions that best fit you. I tailor therapy to your needs and meet you where you are, making the process meaningful and personal.
I was born and raised in Bangkok, Thailand. Before pursuing a career in mental health, I was a competitive figure skater representing Thailand at elite international competitions. As a retired professional athlete, I know firsthand the pressure of balancing several lives at once, along with the challenge of finding yourself amid the chaos.
Outside the therapy room, you’ll find me skating at the rink (especially outdoors in the winter), cooking, gaming, watching anime, or doing puzzles. I enjoy tending to my living spaces and creating content as a way to express my creativity. I also love spending quiet time with my various small animal pets.
As a bilingual therapist, I offer therapy in both English and Thai. I see our therapeutic relationship as central to healing, and I am happy to schedule an initial consultation to see if we are a good match.
Starting therapy can feel overwhelming, but you don’t have to do it alone. I am here when you are ready to take that step.
During our initial sessions, you can expect … to get to know each other and begin understanding your therapy goals! We will review the logistics of therapy, address any questions you may have, and discuss your goals to begin building your therapy roadmap together.
