Healing doesn’t have to happen on your own or in isolation, but through rebuilding healthy connections rooted in safety and trust.

As a therapist, I strive to create space for clients to feel safe and empowered and to show up authentically as themselves, as they are. Trauma most often disrupts our human capacity to connect and feel safe in connection to others, pushing many folks to isolation and hyperindividualism, while wondering if they are deserving of love and care. I hope to walk alongside you in the journey to rebuild your sense of safety and grounding in your self, and in connection with your loved ones, in ways that feel liberatory and healing.

How I show up in the therapeutic setting is largely shaped by my experiences facilitating support groups for queer Asian/Pacific Islander survivors of gender- and power-based violence. My therapeutic approach includes aspects of Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, Psychodynamic Therapy, Attachment-Based Therapy, Motivational Interviewing, and aims to create a space that is client-centered, trauma-informed, and culturally sensitive. Options to also incorporate art and somatic work into our sessions in addition to talk therapy if desired.

I specialize in working with survivors, adolescents, and adults navigating anxiety, depression, ADHD and neurodivergence, LGBTQIA+ identity, life transitions and experiences with immigration, relationship and family difficulties, grief, and healing from intergenerational, interpersonal, and systemic trauma.
