I help queer and trans, neurodivergent adults, high-achieving professionals, polyam, AAPI, POC, parents, and couples navigate a wide range of challenges. Through therapy, my clients receive personalized support for relationship issues, stress/anxiety, trauma/PTSD, communication issues, executive functioning, perfectionism, burnout, people-pleasing tendencies, and life transitions. I also help clients in cultivating embodiment, intimacy, boundaries, and self-trust. My approach is creative and relational. I offer language-specific care in Mandarin and English.
I provide culturally-affirming, attachment-based, queer-affirming, sex-positive, poly-friendly, strength-based and client-centered services, integrating trauma-informed and evidence-based theories including Dance/Movement Therapy (DMT), Expressive Arts Therapy, Narrative Therapy, Solution Focused Therapy (SFT), Somatic IFS/Parts Work, and Mindfulness.
I am excited to connect and co-create healing experiences with you, utilizing authentic presence as well as professional knowledge. I am here to work collaboratively with you to promote long-lasting changes and help achieve your goals. Visit the Kitchen Table Psychotherapy website to learn more about my approach, services, and get in touch directly!
