The clients I work with want to build self-confidence in finding and asserting their voice, break away from unhelpful patterns, heal from abuse and neglect, reparent their inner child, and reclaim their ancestral narratives. My areas of focus are trauma recovery, racial, sexual, gender identity development, childhood trauma, attachment, relational difficulties and anxiety. I am passionate about supporting the intersectionality of marginalized groups, including queer, trans, people of color, and children of immigrants.
I utilize internal family systems (IFS), mindfulness, somatic, relational, and solution-based approaches. My approach is warm, compassionate, experiential, consent-based, and direct. Therapy is always centered around you and your needs. I prioritize holistic therapy that is rooted in resisting and healing the impacts of oppression.
As a queer southeast Asian person, I'm especially passionate about working with folks to increase their capacity and resiliency for social justice activism. If what I've shared resonates, I would be honored to walk alongside you on your journey!
