Waitlist for new clients
Understanding who you are or what you are feeling is difficult when you are not even sure what words to use to describe your experience or what questions to ask yourself. Naming that is a big step. You may put on a mask to navigate the world in order to reduce the pressures you feel from society. High expectations when you were younger may make mistakes seem unacceptable. The journey to explore who you are may seem lonely. You may notice similarities in the relationships you form now with the relationship you have with your family. The early traumas in your life may be triggering you now in ways that are frustrating and upsetting.
I help clients explore values, acquire coping strategies, and learn mindfulness techniques to assist them discover a more fulfilling and rewarding life. Clients should be given a space where they are affirmed no matter what identities they hold or how they show up that day and I ensure clients always feel warmth and understanding to heal and process.
Our practice specializes in working with People of Color and LGBTQ+ clients. While not exclusively the identities of the clients I work with, I specialize in working with Asian and Asian American clients, individuals with disabilities, autistic people, and trans and non-binary folks and I hope to work with you soon!

Groups
Gender Group
This virtual group welcomes those who are questioning their gender as well as those who feel affirmed in their identities. We will explore challenges related to rejection, non-affirmation, and discrimination, internalized stigma, aspects of social, medical, and legal transition, and share resources. I take a trauma-informed and resilience-based approach to this group, often discussing the historical and contextual aspects of oppression to help members feel empowered to advocate for themselves and challenge social norms. This group meets biweekly on Saturdays.
