Great to meet you!

I highly believe radical self-love/self-awareness in therapy is the healing seed that can extend through family lineage, community and the collective.

As a second generation, queer, Chinese American with Hindu-Buddhist leanings I am aware of the intersectional parts of the self which may come into play when interacting with the world around us and it can feel frustrating and at times overwhelming.

With a combination of insight and compassion drizzled with curiosity, we can look at things you want to work on to help enhance your mood, esteem and gain a healthier way to interact with yourself and others.

My approach to therapy

My framework is liberation psychology and my practice is rooted in radical self compassion and understanding collective/community/generational trauma. We explore individual issues connected to collective concerns.

I am a relational therapist with a trauma-informed/abolition mindset. We create space grounded in safety and begin to explore behavioral and thought patterns and help tweak and upgrade limiting beliefs and excessive worry into self-assuredness and trusting of your intuition and your awareness.

I tend to work with QTBIPOC neurodivergent folx that are working through their social anxiety/anxiety/depression.

What you can expect from me

We can explore multiple stressors in session. Whether it be grief, entangling emotions; life transitions or a deep desire to improve all your relationships, let's talk about it!
