Individual therapy for anxiety, burnout, and perfectionism for helping professionals
Hi! I’m Chay, and I am here to help you find your confidence again.
When I first meet my clients, they feel stuck. They remember what it was like to feel productive, effective, and able to take on the world. But, without realizing it, the busy life on the surface had been masking feelings of overwhelm, frustration, and resentment. As helping professionals, we aren’t used to putting ourselves first. We feel selfish, guilty, and ashamed when it feels like we have to choose between ourselves and the needs of others.
As a helping professional myself, I know firsthand how intense the conflict can feel, and I empathize every day with navigating the complex emotions. And as a therapist of helpers, I have seen time and time again how a safe space and the right tools can empower each person to direct their gifts of supporting others towards themselves in a balanced and healthy way, finding their way back to the life they love.
Working with a therapist who sees you, understands what you’ve gone through, and provides high-quality care is essential to you reaching your goals. I am honored to be that person for you, and I will walk alongside you every step of the way.

LAND ACKNOWLEDGEMENT
I am practicing from my home office, located on stolen Land that are sacred to the Muwekma Ohlone Tribe. I thank the Indigenous Peoples for stewarding these Lands for generations. I acknowledge that I occupy and participate in exploitation of Land that are not native to me. I advocate for Land Back and Indigenous Sovereignty. (Give the Land back).
Decolonization is essential to the mental health movement. I acknowledge that I am a work in progress and I am dedicated to continuously growing within and shedding the layers of colonization that have brought me here and no longer serve my clients or me.
May we as a community consider our roles in the liberation, and restoration of Land, language, and culture for Indigenous Peoples on Turtle Island and globally.

I am dedicated to uplifting and I am proud to be part of a supportive community of AANHPI (Asian-American, Native Hawaiian, & Pacific Islander) and Filipino/a/x mental health providers.

Instagram Highlights
If you’ve been overwhelmed or felt discomfort in the past few weeks via the Internet: you are absolutely not alone. So many of us use the Internet to span the vast distances between ourselves and everyone else. But we were never taught how it was designed, how it works, and how to use it in healthy ways. If you are like me, you learned the rapidly accelerating modern landscape of the Internet the old-fashioned way: trial and error. Today, more than ever before, it has become clear how important it is to use the Internet mindfully and intentionally, which requires education on how it affects our emotions.
