About
Need a space to care for yourself and tend to your own needs? I welcome you. Healing through therapy, although sometimes stigmatized, is an experience that most of us need in the current world. Our lives have been disrupted by unexpected and devastating events, which intensifies our stress, anxiety and loneliness. There is no better time to connect. Partnering with me, you can create a space where you feel comfortable connecting with your tender parts, discovering your strength, and most importantly, being your genuine self with no apology. That’s my experience as a client of therapy, and also what you will receive from me.
I use techniques supported by research, such as EMDR, CBT, MI, DBT, and Mindfulness. In addition, I draw on expressive and creative therapy skills through art, movement and play. You will deepen self-understanding, which in turn will help me meet your preferences and cultural background. I call it the bespoke tailoring experience in finding the perfect fit.
As an Asian non-binary person (pronouns: they/them), I have years of experience advocating for BIPOC, LGBTQIA+ rights and social justice. I believe in best quality of care for everyone and clients' self-autonomy. Depending on availability, I offer sessions on a sliding scale.
