My Ideal Client

As a Southeast Asian American, I hold deep compassion for the challenges of balancing identity, family expectations, and life between cultures. I believe it’s essential to recognize how culture and systemic oppression impact our mental health, so I approach therapy through a lens of empowerment, healing, and liberation. My ideal clients are BIPOC individuals and young adults who may struggle with anxiety, depression, trauma, self-esteem, identity concerns, relationship, and life transitions.

How I Can Help You

My primary goal as a therapist is to help my clients align with their most authentic selves, which often gets silenced or pushed aside from past wounds. I offer a warm and welcoming space where you can explore how your lived experiences have shaped who you are, cultivate a sense of safety within your body and relationships, and build resilience and inner strength to navigate the ebbs and flows of life. I encourage my clients to meet vulnerability with self-trust and to explore both their inner world and the world around them with depth and curiosity.

Why I Became a Therapist

I strongly believe everyone is capable of healing and deserves to be seen, heard, and accepted for who they are. I feel honored to walk alongside BIPOC and other marginalized folks as they navigate their healing journeys, but more deeply, to witness the resilience and powerful stories they carry, and to support them in reconnecting with their inner voice and wisdom. My work is rooted in culturally attuned, trauma-informed, and decolonizing practices. I strive to create a space to affirm all identities and stand in solidarity with those navigating in a world that does not always make space for them.
