In our work, I seek to explore how to center identities that society often overlooks, and how marginalization impacts the way we relate to the world and understand ourselves within it. My approach centers client goals and needs through the construction of a trusting therapeutic relationship that recognizes innate strengths and current supports.
I have a clinical background in working with anxiety, depression, life transitions, and questions about self identity. We inevitably weave our systemic oppressions and unresolved questions about self in our clinical presentations. Unraveling how we experience our gender, sexuality, race, and abilities will come naturally in holistic client care. My practice is neurodiversity-affirming, antiracist, feminist, and queer-inclusive to accommodate for the discomfort that this confrontation may bring.
As a queer Chinese-American individual (clinician, daughter, sister, friend, partner, etc) having navigated these treacherous conditions of intersectionality myself, it is my goal to work alongside clients in their current experiences for self determination and empowerment.
