Sandy is a Chinese-American daughter of refugees of the Vietnam War. Her father is Cantonese from Guangzhou and her mother is Teo-Chew, both parents growing up in Vietnam. Sandy is the only daughter of five siblings, spending much of her youth in Texas. Her first career in corporate sales made her realize how connecting with other human beings on healing felt more authentic than remaining in the business world. She considers it a calling and a privilege to work on healing intergenerational trauma and to cultivate the resilience, self agency, and joy that is possible when we make space for deep, committed healing. She welcomes those from all walks of life, but works well with those who identify as children of immigrants/refugees. Self esteem, anxiety, depression, trauma, and family dynamics are some of the issues that she primarily works with. She works from a psychodynamic (how the past impacts the present) lens supported by somatic and mindfulness practices. She is trained in all four levels of Brainspotting, has trained with Strozzi Somatics, and is currently training in Internal Family Systems Level 1. (2024)
