I especially enjoy working with those interested in exploring:
socialized masculinity and sexuality (e.g. regulating sexual behaviors / OCSB-informed, desire discrepancy, body image, values and beliefs…),
the specific interaction between Christian faith/spirituality and sexuality (e.g. shame, trauma, integration…),
navigating conflicting identities in general,
surviving dating,
working through life transitions,
and living with anxiety and depression.
Growing up Hmong-American (second generation), gay, and Christian (nondenominational, pastor’s kid), I can appreciate the intersectional experience of navigating multiple and competing identities. My hope is to support those desiring to venture deeper into what it means to live authentically and with purpose.
I emphasize approachability and collaboration within the therapeutic process and relationship. What this means to me is sharing a space where we practice (in all its vulnerability, humor, and profundity) what it means to be who we are and who we want to be.
