Exhaustion isn't a sign you’re failing.
It’s a sign you need a different approach
You’re a high-achieving, goal-oriented woman who seems to have it all together—but you still wake up tired, even after a full night’s sleep.
I get it. That used to be me.
and it’s not because your body's depleted,
but because your spirit is.

Hi There, I'm Merlyn
That’s not because you’re beyond repair. It’s because you’ve outgrown the parts of you that helped you survive but no longer help you thrive.
You can “do all the right things”, going to therapy, church every Sunday, reading self-help books, checking all the boxes, and still feel stuck.
I’ve always been curious about the stories we carry—the ones we tell the world and the quieter ones we tell ourselves.
The Merlyn Method™ isn’t just talk therapy. It’s about reaching deeper, bringing the unspoken into light, understanding your inner world, and shifting the habits and thoughts that keep you stuck.
so your choices come from clarity, not conditioning
🌿We quiet the noise of old narratives,
that doesn’t feel like a temporary fix
🌿 Finding peace
with new strategies
🌿Meeting old patterns
Here’s the soul-level work we’ll do together:
give you more than therapy. With reflective assignments and personalized tasks each week, you’ll dig deep and make meaningful shifts on your own time. You’ll grow, not just in sessions, but in the space between them.

My goal? To help
—
“Why doesn’t any of this feel the way I thought it would?”
I specialize in working with women like you who are high-achieving, deeply capable, and secretly wondering,
It should feel like clarity, connection, energy—when the noise around you finally quiets and you can finally hear the voice inside.
Because therapy shouldn’t be another box to check.
When I’m not deep in conversation with my clients, you’ll find me savoring artisanal teas,
curating my collection of beautiful stationery, getting lost in a good thriller, or exploring new corners of the world with my husband, Jin.

Testimonial
"I don’t just feel better—I’m different. My relationships are healthier, and I finally feel like I know myself."
"I’ve been to other therapists before, but nothing compares to the depth of work I’ve done here. Understanding how my childhood experiences shaped my current relationships was the aha moment I didn’t know I needed. I don’t just feel better—I’m different. My relationships are healthier, and I finally feel like I know myself."

A well-worn journal
because some thoughts deserve more than a fleeting note on my phone.
On My Desk
(and In My Heart)
A perfectly brewed cup of artisanal tea
my version of a grounding ritual in a mug.
A stack of books with dog-eared pages
where I collect both wisdom and the occasional tea stain.
My favorite pens
the ones that feel just right when I’m writing (yes, it matters).
A playlist full of moody, reflective songs
because music is therapy, too.
A candle
With a scent that feels like calm and clarity.
No matter where you start, you don’t have to do this alone.
