Are you often self-critical, with a negative or harsh voice in your head? Do you experience shame, “not good enough-ness”, and unworthiness? Maybe you’ve had these feelings and thoughts for a long time, learned from past traumatic experiences or an unsupportive environment you grew up in. These experiences are painful and can stop you from living a more rewarding life. If this sounds familiar, I understand and I’m here to help. I specialize in working with anxiety, shame, self-criticism, relationship difficulties, life transitions, sexuality, and gender.
As a queer, first-generation immigrant of Southeast Asian descent, my passion is working with LGBTQIA+, BIPOC, neurodivergent populations, immigrants, and people living in marginalized bodies. My therapy is gender and neurodivergent affirming. It is tailored to your needs while recognizing the broader sociocultural systems you live in.
My therapeutic framework is attachment-based and trauma-informed and includes somatic, mindfulness-based, parts work, and psychedelic harm reduction and integration therapies. My approach is grounded in the idea that presence, trust, and connection are the essential elements for any healing relationship.
No matter where you are in your life, I will meet you with curiosity, compassion, and humor. Together, we’ll create a safe, accepting space where you can bring your whole, authentic self. My hope for you is to feel free, to engage in patterns and relationships that support your potential, and to help you feel comfortable and safe in your body and community.
