As your therapist
I care deeply about supporting clients on their evolving journey towards healing and wholeness, and my approach to therapy is non-pathologizing and client-centered — I will always respect your autonomy and honor your unique strengths and life experiences as essential to your unfolding.
In sessions I will meet you where you are with humor and warmth. You will be seen, heard, and valued for your whole self as we collaborate to help you live a more liberated and authentically self-expressed life.
Coming from a social justice and liberation psychology framework, I prioritize creating a supportive environment for clients from diverse and historically marginalized communities. From my experience of growing up in a first-gen Asian American immigrant family, I recognize that our lives can often be impacted by familial and cultural pressures, systemic oppression, intergenerational trauma, and childhood wounding. I hold compassionate space to unpack and explore these aspects of experience through a holistic, trauma-informed lens.
As a Queer ally and sex positive therapist, I also welcome clients who are seeking a supportive space to embrace all of their identities and ways of being. I also enjoy working with men to shed limiting beliefs around masculinity, supporting you to reclaim and redefine what your gender identity and expression mean to you.
I am an integrative psychotherapist which means I use a variety of approaches depending on your preferences and needs. Therapeutically I blend humanistic-existential, mindfulness, depth, transpersonal, narrative, and parts work therapy through a developmental and systemic trauma lens. I also incorporate mindfulness and somatic-based distress management skills to support healing and lasting change.
During the course of our therapy together, you will decide what we work on, when we work on it, what approach gets used, and the pace and direction of where our work will go.
