You're living the life you're working hard for and maybe in a relationship that fits the bill, but you feel deep down that something's off, like you're living someone else's story. Your inner world doesn't seem to match the outside—inside, you feel overwhelmed, down, and not enough, and in this world, maybe different and othered. You crave to be listened to non-judgmentally, be fully seen and accepted, and ultimately have a loving and healthy relationship with yourself and those around you. Together, let's make space for all the parts of you: pains, fears, quirks, desires, and all. You deserve to be thriving, not just surviving.
I welcome folks of all identities and am drawn to working with adults and teens who are BIPOC and first/second gen AAPI. Some qualities that deeply inform my work: being a Chinese American immigrant from Hong Kong, a daughter whose father was absent and eventually disappeared, and neurodivergent, introverted, and empathic. I speak conversational Cantonese.
It's natural to feel vulnerable to take this leap and I'm glad you're here. Whether this is a new or continuing journey, I welcome you to come as you are. With me, you'll feel held and challenged, and learn to embody safety and feel empowered to move towards healing, wellness, authenticity, and joy.
