Happy Lunar New Year! Sharing a few photos and videos from celebrating Lunar New Year with my family at the mall…lion dance, lanterns, red envelopes, and festive vibes!🧧✨

I love exposing my kids to their culture and other cultures. It can be so meaningful for them and helps them build identity and a sense of belonging, as well as broaden their perspectives and increase their cognitive flexibility. For kids and adults alike, culture and connection can help us become more self-aware, increase empathy, and be part of something bigger than just ourselves.

Wishing you a new year filled with health, happiness, and meaningful connections. 🌙💛

Happy Valentine’s Day! Wishing you a day filled with love, connection, and extra kindness for yourself.☺️ Because self-love is just as important as love for others.

Even small acts of kindness toward yourself can ripple outward and strengthen every connection in your life.

Along with showing love toward others, pause today and give your heart a little extra love.❤️

Loved watching Bad Bunny’s Super Bowl halftime show last night! It was a performance full of energy, culture, and connection, demonstrating how joy, expression, and diversity support our wellbeing. 🎶❤️🌎

I have my own Bad Bunnies at home, who show us that even small bursts of joy can be beneficial for mental health! 💛

What’s one small moment of joy that you’ve had today?

I’ve recently renewed my PSYPACT credential, which allows me to continue providing telehealth therapy to clients across participating states. I’m currently supporting clients in 5 states!

I feel deeply grateful for the opportunity to support individuals and families beyond my local community, including supporting Asian American clients in states where there are few culturally-informed psychotherapists. Access to mental health care matters more than ever, and being able to offer continuity of care across state lines is a privilege I truly value.

If you’re located in one of the 43 PSYPACT states and are looking for support for yourself or your child/adolescent, I’m currently accepting inquiries for telehealth services.

🔗 Please visit my website to learn more or to schedule a free consultation.

Thank you for trusting me with your care. It’s an honor!💛

Are you tired of the morning rush?

If getting your kids out the door to school on time and yourself to work on time feels overwhelming, you’re not alone.

Mornings combine time pressure, tired brains, and big emotions, which makes cooperation harder for kids and patience harder for parents. That doesn’t mean you’re doing anything wrong.

Small, predictable shifts can make your mornings smoother without turning them into power struggles.

Here are three practical ways to help your mornings feel smoother:

1️⃣ Set up the night before: have your child lay out their clothes (including socks and shoes), pack backpacks and lunches, and put everything by the door the night before school.
2️⃣ Stick to a daily routine: bathroom → clothes → breakfast → out the door. Predictability reduces resistance.
3️⃣ Use timers, not reminders: a timer or song (for younger kids) works better than repeated prompts and helps everyone stay regulated.

Some mornings will still be messy, and that’s okay.

Save this for a hard morning. 💛

✨ Happy Black History Month! ✨

Mental health is shaped by who we are and what we carry; our culture, identity, and lived experiences matter.

In my practice, I deeply value diversity, culture, and identity. That means honoring my clients’ whole selves and creating a space where clients feel seen, respected, and safe to be themselves.

At a time when policies and rhetoric are increasingly targeting marginalized communities, creating safe spaces is essential.

Honoring Black history, resilience, and contributions today and every day. 🖤

❄️ When schools are closed for the entire week and schedules and routines disappear, it can feel really overwhelming.

So much of our daily lives runs on structure—school drop-offs and pick ups, sports practices, weekly classes/lessons, and other predictable routines. When a snowstorm disrupts this structure and everyone is suddenly home together, it’s common for stress levels to increase and patience to run thin.

If this week has felt a lot harder than usual, there’s a reason: disruption affects regulation, for both kids and adults.

Here are a few suggestions and reminders for long indoor days with your kids:

✅ Keep one or two anchors during the day (e.g. meal times).
✅ Build in movement and sensory breaks.
✅ Connection matters more than productivity.
✅ Expect more emotions from everyone than usual.
✅ “Good enough” really is enough.

This season will pass soon. Until then, slowing down and meeting the moment with flexibility is more than enough. 🤍

What’s been the hardest part of a week of snow days for you and your family?

❄️❄️ Snowy days + freezing temperatures = the perfect time to slow things down ❄️❄️

With the big snowstorm and bitter cold this week, many kids (and adults!) are feeling extra restless from being stuck indoors. One of my favorite calming tools for days like these is hot cocoa breathing. ☕️✨

Here’s how you do it:
☕️ Pretend you’re holding a warm mug of delicious hot cocoa (or perhaps make yourself a real cup!)
👃 Slowly inhale through your nose, smelling the aroma of the hot cocoa.
💨 With pursed lips, gently exhale through your mouth to cool down the hot cocoa.
🔁 Repeat these steps 3–5 times.

This deep breathing strategy is simple, cozy, and helps calm your nervous system. It’s perfect for snow days or moments of big feelings.

✨Try this together tonight and notice how your bodies respond.

Stay warm this week and don’t forget to breathe. 💛

Last evening after work, I thought I would beat the rush by going “early” to the grocery store to prepare for the major upcoming snowstorm. ⛄️

It turns out that “early” is relative when a snowstorm is imminent. To my surprise, the shelves were already empty. No more bread, no more meat, no more fruit and vegetables, no more milk…

We’re all navigating uncertainty the best we can. Sometimes being prepared enough is *enough.*

❄️ Stay safe, stay warm, and check back for updates about inclement weather!

Does watching your child struggle with anxiety leave you feeling helpless?

Childhood anxiety is more common than we may realize, and the way you respond to your child can make a meaningful difference. These five child psychologist-approved supportive strategies can help your child feel safer, more confident, and more able to cope over time.

Here are 5 ways to support your anxious child:

1️⃣ Validate your child’s emotions first. Problem solve later.
Let your child know that you hear them and their feelings make sense before jumping into solutions.

2️⃣ Offer a supportive statement.
Too much reassurance can actually strengthen anxiety. Try support combined with confidence instead: “I know this feels scary and I know you can handle it.”

3️⃣ Name your child’s feelings.
Labeling emotions helps your child feel more in control.

4️⃣ Model your own calm.
Your nervous system helps regulate your child’s (co-regulation); your calm creates safety.

5️⃣ Encourage taking risks, not avoidance.
Avoidance might help in the short term but actually increases anxiety in the long term. Gentle exposure builds your child’s confidence over time.

🤝 You’re not alone in this. Support makes a difference.

🧠❤️ If you need more support, our practice offers evidence-based treatment for childhood anxiety, including CBT and SPACE.
