I am a Licensed Clinical Social Worker (LCSW) in the state of California and received my Master of Social Work (MSW) from the University of Southern California (USC) with a concentration in Adult and Healthy Aging and earned my Bachelor of Science in Human Services with a minor in Psychology at California State University, Fullerton (CSUF) . I have worked in the non-profit arena, as well as within the healthcare sector for many years. My experience is multifaceted through my work with children, adolescents, families, couples, and individuals dealing with anxiety, grief and loss, depression, trauma, child abuse, divorce, self-esteem issues, life adjustments, communication issues, comorbidity, anger management, domestic violence, parent-child relationships, chronic conditions and many more. My therapeutic style is eclectic with a combination of cognitive-behavioral therapy (CBT), solution-focused therapy (SFT), symptom-targeted intervention (STI), motivational interviewing (MI), and mindfulness among others, but will adjust it accordingly to each individual’s needs. I approach each contact with a strength-based attitude and a non-judgmental mindset. I hope we can work together towards your goals and improve your overall self.

Kathy has been such a great help in the past 10 months working with her. She is great at listening and providing a safe space for me to talk about my life and any challenges I face. I was specifically looking for an Asian American female therapist and was really glad to be matched with Kathy because I feel like she understands where I’m coming from.

Kathy is a phenomenal counselor! She is very attentive and understands my issues, and I am glad I got matched with her. I've had a lot of jumbled thoughts lately and she organizes them in a way where I can at least figure out what to do moving forward.

Kathy has been an amazing person to work with. She listens to my concerns and makes me feel heard and does a great job at validating my every day stressors. She also educates me and empowers me to use the skills I have to work through in whatever issue might be on my mind. Very thankful for these last few months!
