I’m an integrative somatic liberation therapist dedicated to healing in historic, inflammatory times. As a neuroqueer brain injury survivor and child of Vietnamese refugees, my background of global contexts inform my understanding of complex trauma and its impacts to communities across generations. When harmful experiences persist, they create deep emotional pain. It can feel like death by a thousand cuts from waking up to palpable anxiety, fear, confusion, pain, depression, terror and devastating crises. Therapy needs to go beyond merely coping with trauma; it should help us heal. We can expand into the wholeness of our humanity.
I prioritize experiential approaches that center your personal wisdom, dreams, and aspirations as we navigate feelings of anguish, loss, rage, and distress. My methods integrate emerging trauma brain science, ancestral healing, and relational somatics: acudetox, embodied anatomy, ritual practice, sound healing, sensory integration, deep relaxation, etc.
I believe in building a powerful therapeutic relationship based on warmth, humor, curiosity, and genuine care. Together, we nurture resonance in true belonging to your person. There’s much rest to be found in embodied refuge, when you come home to all parts of you. Ultimately, my intention is for everyone to find relief from suffering and restore freedom.

I work with clients looking for radical change and deep relief. We tend to symptoms and deeper roots to heal from collective harm. Current inadequate health systems and ignorant care providers keep failing the majority and marginalized: women, neurodiverse, queer, BIPOC, disabled folx, survivors of complex trauma, brain injury etc. We address manifold conditions to reclaim life's wondrous nature.
