About My Clients

I work with adults and young adults who are navigating life transitions, managing anxiety or depression, healing from intergenerational trauma, struggling with adoption issues, or exploring identity development. My clients may experience intense emotions or face challenges in building meaningful relationships.

My Background and Approach

I strive to provide a safe, compassionate space where clients can deepen their self-awareness, embrace personal growth, and create meaningful change. I practice from a trauma-informed, social justice perspective, integrating somatic and mindfulness approaches to support whole-body healing. Believing that therapy should be collaborative and tailored to each person’s unique experiences and strengths, I draw on Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), Attachment-based therapy, and Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT) depending on each client’s needs and goals. My approach is relational, client-centered, and non-judgmental. I understand the complexities of navigating intersectional identities and the profound effects these experiences can have on the mind and body.

My Personal Beliefs and Interests

As a Chinese adoptee raised on the East Coast and now living in the Pacific Northwest, my personal experiences shape my work and enable me to bring cultural responsiveness to my practice. I understand the complexities of navigating intersectional identities and the profound effects these experiences can have on the mind and body.
