In a world that is constantly feeding us messages about who we should be, therapy should be a safe place to show up as you are. A space where the intricacies of your identity can be met with curiosity and care. I enjoy working with people who are questioning where they fit, carrying anxiety, or navigating the complexities of relationships and identity. My role is to walk with you as you discover what feels authentic. Together, we can explore the stories that have shaped you, honor the resilience you already hold, and create new possibilities for how you want to live and connect.
As a queer, neurodivergent, Chinese-American adoptee, my lived experience shapes the way I hold space for clients navigating intersecting marginalized identities. My specialties include working with adoptees, LGBTQIA+ communities, and people exploring identity, belonging, and relationships.
If you feel we might be a good fit, reach out to Queer Asterisks and mention my name. I offer sliding scale options and accept many insurance plans. Disclaimer: If you email me, these emails DO NOT go directly to me, and it may take the admissions team up to 2 weeks to connect you with me.
