Discover a Therapeutic Journey Crafted Just for You
My approach to therapy is anything but one-size-fits-all. I blend a healing-centered, trauma-informed, and strength-based perspective to craft treatment plans that are as unique as you are. Together, we'll explore how your emotions unfold in your body, honoring the deep connection between mind and body. I am committed to meeting you exactly where you are, providing a safe, non-judgmental space where growth and transformation can flourish. Our work will focus on the changes you aspire to make while navigating and overcoming any obstacles in your path.
Embracing My Identity: Asian American and Woman of Color
As an Asian American woman of color, my personal journey adds a rich layer of understanding to my therapeutic practice. I am intimately familiar with the challenges and strengths that come with navigating multiple layers of identity. This experience equips me to offer a profound empathy and insight into the complexities of being a woman of color, allowing me to relate to and support clients with a nuanced perspective on identity and societal expectations.
Guided by My Own Journey: A Transracial Adoptee’s Perspective
My experiences as a transracial adoptee deeply influence my approach to therapy. This unique background provides me with valuable insights into adoption and identity issues. While these experiences enrich my understanding, my practice is both inclusive and expansive. I am dedicated to supporting individuals from all walks of life, whether you're exploring adoption, identity challenges, or facing struggles such as anxiety, depression, trauma/PTSD, or the intricacies of pregnancy and postpartum experiences. My approach is designed to resonate with your distinct needs.
