Parenting Support
For parents who are struggling, overwhelmed, or simply want to show up better for their kids. You can't pour from an empty cup.

There are experiences that need more than a generalist
If you've ever sat in a therapist's office and felt like you had to explain your cultural background before getting to the real work — Melissa gets it. If you've ever felt like your fertility journey was too complicated, too painful, or too lonely to put into words — she's been trained specifically to sit with you in that.
Melissa is a licensed therapist with deep specializations in infertility and fertility grief, AAPI mental health and cultural identity, support for teens and parents, and EMDR trauma therapy. She works exclusively online, which means you can access real, specialized care from anywhere in California - without having to leave your home.
She's not a generalist who also sees fertility clients. This is her work. These are her people.
