As a first generation Vietnamese-Chinese American, I understand the challenges of blending your home and cultural values with Western values in a way that aligns with who you are today. It is very common to feel a disconnect when trying to juggle expectations and societal norms for how our lives ‘should’ be especially when it does not match who we truly are. I believe in working collaboratively with clients to explore, question, and discover new ways of thinking and being that aligns with the person they want to be.
I enjoy working with those experiencing relationship issues, anxiety, life transitions, emotional dysregulation, and identity exploration. I believe that meaningful change begins with curiosity, empathy and openness—through exploring conversations that honor our past and present selves while holding hope for our future selves.
I have seen first hand how powerful storytelling and the act of witnessing can be. I'd be honored to be apart of your space. If my words resonate with you, please don’t hesitate to reach out.

I work with clients who may need support with looking at the presenting problem from a birds eye view while understanding why our nervous system reacts a certain way. Our session together will include components of curiosity, storytelling and action orientated steps to support our needs.
