Healing and thriving are both hard struggles, but you don’t have to struggle alone. Allow me to walk with you on your path, and I will lend guidance and perspective without ever imposing my will over yours. Let’s work together to find the next steps to whatever you bring, the middle path between the burdens and the joys.
As someone with a lot of identities - queer, transgender, Taiwanese-American, autistic, and more - my therapeutic stance combines my professional and personal experiences with what I learn from you so we may tailor the best approach. This can be more somatic-leaning, philosophically-inclined, skills-based, or any combination thereof. And since there is no way around the fact that we live in a society, therapy must also confront our responsibility to ourselves, our community, and the external factors that narrow our choices in the first place. Trained and practiced primarily in Dialectical Behavioral Therapy (DBT), a cousin of CBT, as well as given my identities, I offer a unique perspective on both the process of therapy and the environmental pressures we face.
We'll go over what brings you to therapy, what your goals might be, and how I might best serve your needs! We can keep it as casual or as structured as you like - I don't bite :)
