relational therapy for individuals and couples
Compassionate therapy that heals from the inside, out.
Life doesn’t look or feel the way you wish it did.
Your life looks great from the outside. You have the credentials, the job, the house, the family, but something still feels like it’s missing, but you’re tired and maybe a little hopeless that you’ll never be happy.

Do you ever feel stuck between two worlds? As a child of immigrants, you may have grown up navigating the expectations of your family while trying to fit into a culture that often felt foreign. No matter how hard you tried, it may have seemed like it was never enough. Your parents might have mapped out your life for you—what to study, what career to pursue, even who to marry. The weight of these expectations can leave you feeling exhausted, guilty, and like you’re somehow failing, even when you’re doing everything “right.”
To cope, you might pour yourself into work, volunteer at your child’s school, or stay busy at church. While these distractions keep you going, they don’t fill the emptiness inside. Relaxation feels impossible, and the idea of doing something just for you—like picking up a hobby—only brings more guilt. If any of this resonates, you’re not alone, and therapy can be a safe space to unpack these feelings and find a way forward.

What began as a promising romance has devolved into a relationship you don’t even recognize. You and your partner might disagree on core family values, how to raise the kids, and issues of bias or privilege that one of you struggles to acknowledge. Attempts talk about these hard topics always seem to end up in frustrating arguments that maybe worse than the last, because when compromise feels like a threat—you’re in survival mode.
Let me help each of you to learn what’s important to you, how to express it, and get the love you want from each other.

Growing up in an abusive family or being with a toxic partner can really mess with your mental health and self-esteem. It’s important to understand how those past experiences might still be affecting you and your relationships today. Taking the time to recognize unhealthy patterns and abusive behaviors isn’t just about breaking free from the past—it’s also about preparing yourself to create healthier, more fulfilling relationships in the future. Healing starts with awareness, and you don’t have to do it alone.
I can help you rediscover your true self and break free from the fog of uncertainty, insecurity, and guilt caused by antagonistic people.

One of the biggest challenges in marriage, especially after kids, is keeping the spark alive in the bedroom. It’s like a catch-22: one person needs emotional connection to feel in the mood, and the other needs physical intimacy to feel emotionally connected. Sound familiar? Let’s talk it through, figure out what you both need, and start bringing that chemistry back to life!
I’m ginna.
I believe you deserve relief from pain and hope for healing.
Sometimes, you just want someone who gets it. As an Asian American woman, I bring my own lived experience to the therapy room, helping me connect with clients on a deeper level. I understand how exhausting it can be to explain the nuances of the Asian diaspora or the feeling of being “othered.” With me, you don’t have to over-explain—you can just be. My goal is to create a space where you feel seen, understood, and supported, so therapy becomes not only safer but also truly transformative.

Have you ever felt like different parts of you are pulling in opposite directions? Maybe one part of you wants to take a big step forward, but another part holds you back with fear or self-doubt. Internal Family Systems (IFS) therapy helps you make sense of these inner conflicts by seeing them as different "parts" of you, each with its own feelings, needs, and purpose.
IFS teaches you how to approach these parts with curiosity and compassion instead of judgment. These parts aren’t the problem—they’re trying to protect you, often because of difficult experiences in your past. Through IFS, you’ll learn how to heal these parts, let go of old emotional burdens, and reconnect with your calm and confident core self.
This process doesn’t just help you feel better in the moment—it creates real, lasting change. By working with your inner world, IFS can help you feel more in control, more at peace, and more connected to yourself and the people around you.

EMDR (Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing) is an amazing approach to healing trauma that helps you process painful memories in a safe and manageable way. It works by gently guiding your brain to reprocess stuck memories so they no longer feel overwhelming or trigger intense emotions. Many people find EMDR brings relief, clarity, and a sense of peace they didn’t think was possible. It’s a powerful tool for letting go of the past and stepping into the life you want to live.

Deep Brain Reorientation (DBR) is a therapeutic approach designed to help individuals recover from trauma by targeting the brain's response to stress and negative emotions.
When a person experiences trauma, their brain can become stuck in a state of heightened alertness. This means that even after the threat is gone, they may still feel anxious, fearful, or overwhelmed. DBR aims to reset this response.
The process involves using specific techniques to help the brain reprocess memories and feelings associated with the trauma. This includes guiding individuals to focus on their thoughts and bodily sensations in a safe and controlled manner. By doing this, patients can gradually release the intense emotions tied to the traumatic experiences.
