“Sau cơn mưa trời lại sáng.”
After the rain, the sky clears.

I am a Vietnamese American clinician, first-generation scholar, and community builder, born and raised in Maine. My work is shaped by my immigrant family, the quiet stories and sacrifices that raised me, and a deep belief in the healing power of relationship. When I’m not in the office, you can often find me in a local coffee shop with an oat milk latte, curating eclectic Spotify playlists, going down a Wikipedia rabbit hole, taking a Spin class, or spending time with my rescue dog, Casco.

I work with individuals and couples who find themselves in the in-between—grieving what has been lost, questioning who they are becoming, and carrying stories shaped by migration, culture, attachment, and intergenerational histories. The struggles that bring people to therapy—conflict, distance, anxiety, or emotional fatigue—are often less about what is “wrong” and more about what has been carried quietly for a long time.

My practice is relational, culturally responsive, and trauma-informed. I work collaboratively from a person-centered lens, grounded in the belief that we all deserve to be unconditionally valued and understood within the systems that shape our lives. I draw from attachment-based frameworks, parts-informed approaches, and body-aware practices to support clients in listening more closely—to themselves and to one another. In couples therapy, we slow down patterns of conflict and silence, attend to differences shaped by culture and history, and make space for repair, clarity, and renewed connection.

I am especially honored to work with AAPI and diaspora communities here in Maine and beyond, particularly in a state with limited racial and ethnic diversity. My work lives at the intersection of grief, belonging, and identity, grounded in evidence-based and culturally responsive care. I believe healing is both individual and collective—an ongoing process of learning, unlearning, and becoming. My hope is to create spaces where stories and struggles are held with care, cultural nuance is honored, and new meanings can gently emerge.
