As your therapist, I aim to be your guide in connecting with your inner strengths and qualities, such as compassion, curiosity, clarity, creativity, calmness, confidence, courage, and connectedness. My goal is to create a safe space for you emotionally and physically in therapy and help you in developing this safety within yourself, your partnership, or other significant relationships. As a marriage and family therapist, I have experience working with families from diverse backgrounds, couples of all ages, adult individuals, children (primarily 10+), and teenagers.
Born and raised in Southern California, I have a deep connection to the ocean and sunshine. You can also call me Vinny, as my friends do! I am a daughter of immigrant parents from Indonesia, and feel proud to represent my family in the mental health field. I enjoy spending time with my loved ones, reading, traveling, cooking, crafting, and getting a sweet treat (especially boba). I am excited to meet you and to support you on your healing journey!
