I believe in creating authentic connections with clients and have a passion for working with people who are BIPOC, LGBTQIA2S+, and/or those who have experienced struggles related to cultural identity, queer and/or trans identity, life transitions, trauma, multiculturalism, family conflict, interpersonal challenges, pregnancy/prenatal/postpartum, micro-aggressions, generational trauma, and grief. I work to decolonize systems of practice and center the client’s unique and collective experience. Clients would describe me as authentic, curious, outgoing yet calming, non-judgmental, funny, honest, and respectful of identities and values.
I see therapy as a helpful place to vent, focus on your experiences and how they shape you, work through thoughts and behaviors that no longer serve you, and make the changes necessary to explore and embrace your authentic self in order to be the person you strive to embody. I utilize Internal Family Systems (IFS), Narrative, Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) , and attachment-based techniques and perspectives. Together we will increase your awareness and address present day patterns that are rooted in past experiences.
I came into this field with a passion for social justice. As a Southeast Asian-American, mixed race, queer woman, and daughter of an immigrant, it is not lost on me how special it is that I went into this profession for MANY reasons that I cannot fit into this short paragraph. What I will say is that I am acutely aware of my privilege and that people with identities similar to mine are needed in the mental health sector. I continually move forward in my work with respect to this knowledge and honor those who came before me as they have allowed me to live out my passions. With this mindset, I have been able to witness how life-changing the therapeutic space can be through my own lived experience and seeing the power of connection in my work with clients.
