Being human is hard, especially with all the heaviness of the world we're holding right now. Sometimes, it can feel like we’re running in circles or sleepwalking through life on autopilot with racing thoughts that clutter the mind and paralyze the spirit. Overwhelmed by the weight of emptiness in the heart, but maybe already skipping or spiraling ahead to the next step to carry on with the performance of this existence because “everything is fine." There may be limitations, even detrimental consequences, to filling the void with excessive distractions. How did too much become never enough?

When was the last time you remembered to breathe? Why must we wait until death to “rest in peace” when we deserve to live a restful life in peace now? We hold the power to alchemize our angst into contentment, yearnings into passion and purpose, pain into peace and possibilities. Effective therapy can be life-changing. It sure changed mine for the better.

My approach is heart-centered, nature-inspired, humanistic, experiential, and existential through the social justice lens of a neurospicy Asian queer femme weaving between Eastern philosophies of mindfulness and contemporary therapeutic practices. Let’s explore your story and expand together, co-creating the space and grace for empowering changes to unfold.
