About My Clients

I work with culturally inclusive, anti-oppressive, queer-affirmative, and strengths-based lenses. With expertise in various areas, including racial identities, gender and sexual identities, anxiety, trauma, and relationships, I bring a wealth of experience to our sessions. 

My Approach to Helping

I work with clients who are struggling with anxiety, relationships, trauma, and their identities. In our sessions, I will guide you to build a stronger relationship with yourself, understand your thoughts and somatic responses, and break down unhealthy beliefs and behavioral patterns that you may hold. 日本語でセラピーを行うことも可能です。

My Personal Beliefs and Interests

As a queer first-generation Asian American, I am passionate about the ways in which I can advocate for mental health in all communities. Culture, environment, the multiple identities you hold, and the societal systems in place can all be significant contributors to the stressors you face. In exploring these factors collaboratively with you, I hope to empower you to recognize your strengths and to draw upon them.
