About My Clients
Reaching out can bring up many opposing emotions. My biggest strength is being able to relate to each of my clients on many levels. Partly through my extensive training and mostly through similar, lived experiences. We specialize in PTSD, depression, anxiety, ADHD, grief and loss, addcitions, OCD, LGBTQIA2+, to name a few. We work with school-aged children, adolescents, adults, seniors, couples, and families. We provide CBT, DBT, and other therapies.
My Background and Approach
I completed graduate school at Pepperdine University in 2011 and have been practicing as a psychotherapist since 2010. I became a Licensed Marriage and Family Therapist in 2014. In response to the critical need of mental services during the 2019 COVID Pandemic, I opened up Thriving Lotus Family Therapy Group, INC to serve more people within the community of Santa Clarita and state of California. Prior to my work as a Marriage & Family Therapist, I provided positive parenting and behavioral therapy to children with special needs. Post-graduate, I completed an externship in Functional Family Therapy and am experienced in assisting families to decrease incidences in acting out adolescents. I come from a second-generation, Southeast Asian culture and have a deep understanding of the struggles of adolescents and their families adjusting to western cultural values. I am a survivor of trauma, which has given me great insight of my clients experiencing PTSD, anxiety, and depression.
My Personal Beliefs and Interests
The group is Asian owned. We are BIPOC therapists, anti-racist, and LGBTQ+ affirming. This shared identity helps us strive to provide a safe space for all people of color and identities seeking treatment. We are knowledgeable and compassionate in discussing race issues in therapy; how it effects mental health, racial trauma, and the healing of racial trauma. We are offering both in office and telehealth appointments as our response to the COVID-19 pandemic. Please, contact us for more details.
