Hi there! My name is Chinh. If you’ve reached my page, chances are that your heart has been broken, you probably just had the umpteenth argument with your significant other, or maybe you’re stuck in a frustrating cycle of self-doubt, low self-esteem, and overwhelming thoughts that never seem to let up. Maybe it’s all of the above! Whatever brought you here — I’m glad you came. Let’s work through it together. I grew up in a culture where mental illness wasn’t something you talked about. Emotional struggles were ignored, hidden, or minimized. I was taught that sharing feelings was a weakness — that being strong meant staying silent.

Maybe you are often carrying more than you let people see—emotionally, mentally, or even physically—and are tired of doing it alone. Would you like clarity, relief, and a sense of grounding. Want to understand your patterns instead of repeating them. Would you like healthier relationships, better boundaries, and more confidence in who you are? Many of my clients are LGBTQ+ adults who long for a space where they don’t have to explain or defend their lived exper

The client may have issues of grief, past betrayals, or major life changes.
I can help to unpack many painful experiences. I have first-hand experience with the loss of a child and this experience along with my clinical training allows me to empathize in a way some may not understand. I also feel the experience allows me to be a supportive voice to guide others through mental challenges and ultimately reach a place of peace.

Life can feel like a roller coaster—our hearts, minds, and bodies soaring at times, and other times sinking low. Along this journey, we may face challenges like depression, anxiety, anger, communication difficulties, low self-esteem, major life changes, or the need to adjust to something new. Each person, couple, or family has their own time to seek support. The important thing to remember is: it’s never too late. Cada persona, pareja o familia tiene su propio momento para buscar ayuda. Lo más importante es recordar que nunca es tarde.

Compounded complex trauma often leaves survivors isolated, where the weight of their experiences becomes an unbearable burden with few places to turn, and even fewer people who truly understand and sit with you in it. From a place of deep and personal knowing, I'm driven to show up with fierce compassion for those who feel terrified and alone. Love, as a daily choice, practice, and unwavering commitment, is my guiding force. And, I believe we can break the cycles of generational, societal, and familial pain to build a home within ourselves we have always deserved.

I have applied this viewpoint of therapy to a host of presenting problems: anxiety, depression, relationship issues, grief and loss, various stages of life, and others.
My approach ensures that you have an active role in your treatment that sees you as the expert on your own life experiences. My place is joining with you while displaying unconditional positive regard to build self-insight and mastery when identifying faulty patterns of feeling, thinking and behaving that lead to those missing pieces in your life.
