I walked the path of infertility, a high-risk pregnancy, and time in the NICU with my baby - all while trying to hold onto who I was professionally. Like many Bay Area moms over 36, I know firsthand what it means to become a mother later in life, especially while caring for aging parents.

 

​From the outside, my days had a careful rhythm - caring for my newborn, managing client sessions, checking in on my parents. Inside, I was swimming in postpartum anxiety, thinking 'doing it all' meant doing it perfectly. As an Asian-American therapist, I thought I should have all the answers. But here's what I learned: those moments when I felt pulled between my baby's needs and my parents' care weren't failures. They were invitations to soften, to question the 'shoulds,' and to trust that good enough truly is enough. 

 

Now, I support moms like you who are juggling feedings while coordinating medical appointments for parents across time zones, processing birth experiences, and navigating family expectations across generations. Our work together isn't about finding an impossible balance - it's about finding your way through this complex season of life, one breath at a time. 

 

In our sessions, you'll find a space where all parts of your experience are welcomed - your professional identity, your new role as a mother, and your continuing role as a daughter. Together, we'll move away from the exhausting pursuit of doing everything "right" for everyone, toward something more sustainable: a way of being present for both your baby and your parents while staying connected to yourself.​

 

I know it feels impossible right now. That's why I'm here.
