Born in Vietnam and raised in California, I now live in North Carolina. I am definitely a third culture individual who has experienced many different customs and cultures! My breadth of experience in life has allowed me to meet and get to know all kinds of people and accept them with open arms.
Because of my diverse upbringing and life experiences, I am able to meet my clients with a holistic, nonjudgmental approach. My counseling style is collaborative and person-centered, allowing clients to feel safe to open up and make decisions in their therapeutic process. My clients and I work together to find solutions based on where they are and what feels best for them.
We live in a complex world that is constantly changing, even as we grapple with our own problems. We can often feel alone and judged and may not have the experience of empathy, compassion, and learned tools to meet these challenges successfully. Because of this, I collaborate with clients to freely be themselves without fear of judgement and move forward with a strong sense of self. I offer clients the ability to be honest and open because I have been there, too.
