AAPI community mental health therapist based in the San Gabriel Valley. My main therapeutic orientations are existential, solution-focused, person-centered, and multicultural counseling. Certified in Trauma-Focused Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (TF-CBT) and Interpersonal Therapy (IPT). I structure my approaches in psychotherapy to intentionally uncover and identify personal values in order to process emotions and co-create solutions through integrating evidence-based approaches and value-aligned interventions.

About Me: I am a queer Vietnamese American who also had lived experiences with being a cancer survivor and being a first-generation college student. I studied at UCLA for my undergraduate and graduate careers with full-ride support from the Bill & Melinda Gates Millennium Scholarship and the UCLA Graduate Council Diversity Fellowship among various scholarships regarding my community leadership efforts and reflections on my personal intersectional identities.

Beyond clinical work, I am committed to learning and participating in community and systems change efforts that support collective healing, social justice movements, and restorative justice practices.
