About My Clients
I support folks in releasing burdens they are carrying, and break out of patterns they find themselves stuck in – however that manifests (anxiety, self-harm, struggles in relationship, etc.). Many folks I work with have experienced trauma, and together we can build self-trust, self-compassion, and self-worth. As a queer multiracial person (Chinese & white), I have a special interest in holding space for those who are queer, BIPOC, and multiracial.
My Background and Approach
I offer a space where you can show up as yourself – 100% - without fear of shame or judgment. All parts of you are welcome, even (and often especially) the emotions, thoughts, and impulses that you avoid the most. Together, we can turn towards these experiences, extending care and understanding, and attend to the underlying needs. I use somatic parts work (Internal Family Systems) to help you find new ways of viewing & relating to yourself, your relationships, and your life experiences. Often, our day-to-day struggles are only the tip of the iceberg, and deeper healing invites us to get to know what is under the surface. Together, we invite curiosity and encounter your emotions, behaviors, and patterns with a bit more compassion, creating space to access the confidence and clarity you need to navigate your life.
My Personal Beliefs and Interests
Your inner wisdom: My practice is centered around supporting you in reconnecting with yourself. I believe that each person holds all the wisdom and spaciousness needed for healing. Therapy, and IFS, can be a way of returning home to ourselves. Collective liberation: The systems we live in, the waters we swim in, deeply impact our mental health. I believe that therapy can help us to recognize, name, and intentionally navigate systems that oppress us & often make us feel we have no choice. We must do the work of liberation both internally and externally. Compassionate presence: I believe in the radical power of attuned listening & presence. That is what you can expect of me - to give my full, compassionate attention to every part of you. Not just to the parts of you that are easy, charming, or “good.” All parts of you are welcome here.
