As a queer, Latinx cisgender man, it is my passion to support my LGBTQIA+ and POC community in our own collective liberation. Too often counseling can feel like a non-inclusive space, and my work has focused on providing a healing space where clients feel comfortable being their genuine selves, free from judgment and guilt. Sometimes it feels like many of us move through our day wearing a mask to “fit in,” which is a heavy burden to bear. Together we can work towards removing this mask by helping you tap into what already lies within you - a bit of authenticity, a splash of self-compassion, and a healthy dose of empowerment.

Often times when people come to therapy, what they've already tried hasn't quite made them feel, think, or behave in the ways they'd hope. Regardless, people typically already have some means for dealing with challenges they encounter. Therapy is a place for expanding your approaches & gaining new tools to help you navigate your current predicament(s). If you're hoping to change the ways you're feeling, thinking, and/or responding to a stressor, I believe that you will find my therapeutic approach meaningful.

I support minoritized individuals as they navigate workplace discrimination and microaggressions, helping them cope and advocate for themselves effectively. My clients are often managing major life transitions such as job loss, perinatal loss, divorce, blending families, or raising a neurodivergent child. I also provide specialized care for aging-related issues, including retirement and legacy planning, dementia, and age-related depression and anxiety. My clients seek to rebuild and redefine their lives after significant changes, striving for resilience, empowerment, and renewed purpose.

As a queer, Chinese, eldest daughter of immigrants, I believe that it is important to hold space for all parts of you, no matter how much hate those parts have internalized, no matter how much love those parts have been denied. I believe that your personal and ancestral pasts inform your present, and that you also have the power to functionally rewrite and close the chapters that are rooted in powerlessness, guilt, fear, and shame. Together, we can collaboratively and creatively tap into your strengths, values, inner wisdom, and identities in service of freeing up the space and energy to curate the meaningful life you deserve.

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 am deeply passionate about and committed to the liberation of all marginalized people. I firmly believe that there is no liberation without healing, and I believe that healing is done in relationship with others. While the past may inform your present actions, the therapeutic relationship you and I have can start your healing journey, and together we can work towards creating the life you want and deserve to have. As a clinician, I take a holistic, person-centered approach to therapy. All of who you are is welcomed in the relationship that we will create together.

I believe therapy is a soft landing place where you feel seen, express and process emotions, and develop the tools to live a liberated life. Life can present a host of challenges that may make it difficult for us to thrive but this does not have to be your truth. Many of these challenges may have even existed before you were born, which has been described as inter-generational trauma. My aim as a practitioner is to meet you where you are on your path to self discovery and healing. I use a Humanistic - Existential, and utilize techniques from CBT, ACT and Narrative therapy modalities.

I view therapy as a journey that both client and therapist embark on together towards increased understanding, empowerment and healing. Whether this is your first therapeutic journey or one of many, I believe you are the expert of your own experience. Your wisdom coupled with my clinical expertise, provide the foundation for a healing connection in a therapeutic setting. I work both with individuals with diagnosable symptoms (e.g. depression, anxiety, bereavement, etc.) and less concrete emotional struggles (e.g. relational difficulties, identity exploration, life transitions, body image, etc.).

Starting the process of addressing your mental health is often overwhelming. The biggest questions that come up are: What is the best treatment for me? Will my therapist understand my needs? If I open these emotional wounds, will they be able to end this pain? I work to create a safe space to bring your pain and trauma. Therapy should be a place of healing and understanding. Our goal in therapy will be to create strategies that will decrease those negative thoughts, voices and patterns. As well as open you up to a new sense of inner peace. If you are ready, take the next step and schedule a free consultation call.

Living as an immigrant or person of color in America can be really challenging. You may be struggling with navigating multiple cultural identities, meeting family and community expectations, facing discrimination and limited opportunities, or finding belonging and feeling at peace with your authentic self. You may feel guilt, obligation, or that you are never “enough”. You may struggle in relationships because it feels difficult to find time for yourself, you are never sure where you stand, or if you are fully accepted as you are.
