About My Clients

You might be someone who has spent years carrying the weight of past experiences; childhood wounds, relational pain, or the quiet exhaustion of navigating life between cultures. You may look like you have it together on the outside while feeling disconnected, anxious, or stuck on the inside. I work with adults who are ready to stop managing their pain and start truly healing.

My Background and Approach

My journey to this work began in an AP Psychology class that sparked a lifelong fascination with how our biology and experiences shape who we are. I went on to study human development and family sciences before earning my master's in clinical mental health counseling, and I've had the privilege of working in community mental health in rural Appalachia, school-based settings, and inpatient care before finding my home in private practice. I specialize in trauma particularly childhood and relational trauma and I believe that true healing happens when we tend to the whole person: mind, body, and spirit. The nervous system holds our stories, and I use bottom-up, body-based approaches to help you access them safely through EMDR, Internal Family Systems, somatic experiencing, and DBT. I provide culturally affirming care for AAPI, BIPOC, LGBTQIA+, kink, and ENM communities. As an AAPI woman myself, I understand firsthand what it means to seek healing in spaces that weren't built for you.

My Personal Beliefs and Interests

I believe that true healing happens when we tend to the whole person: mind, body, and spirit. I use EMDR, Internal Family Systems, somatic experiencing, and DBT, always following your lead. I believe healing is not linear, and that trauma is not the whole of who you are, it is simply part of your story. You have the power to reclaim that narrative and write what comes next. I hold space for all spiritualities, including metaphysical practices like tarot and astrology, and I believe that intention and mindfulness are at the heart of meaningful change. I provide affirming care for AAPI, BIPOC, LGBTQIA+, kink, and ENM communities. You belong here.
