As a queer first-generation Asian American, I am passionate about the ways in which I can advocate for mental health in all communities. Culture, environment, the multiple identities you hold, and the societal systems in place can all be significant contributors to the stressors you face. In exploring these factors collaboratively with you, I hope to empower you to recognize your strengths and to draw upon them.
I work with culturally inclusive, anti-oppressive, LGBTQIA+ affirmative, and strengths-based lenses. With expertise in various areas, including health, disabilities, racial identities, gender and sexual identities, anxiety, trauma, and relationships, I bring a wealth of experience to our sessions.
Let's embark on a transformative journey together! I'll be your guide, supporting your self-reflection and personal growth, while honoring your unique voice. We'll explore the roots of your struggles, set empowering goals, and develop practical tools for your daily life. I am committed to building a trusting relationship and safe space with you.
