About My Clients
Are you haunted by past hurts or unresolved trauma that make it difficult to be present ? Do you feel a sense of emptiness, maybe a wall that you can't seem to break down which effects your romantic relationships, friendships, and ability to trust others? Burdened daily by ruminating thoughts, loops, and patterns of unhealthy behaviors? Acceptance isn't easy, forgiveness isn't always necessary, transition is hard. I am hear to guide you through it, to live fuller, and find balance.
My Background and Approach
I specialize in life transition, single parent issues, grief and loss, management of serious mental illness, improving communication and assertiveness skills, trauma/trans generational trauma, substance abuse, anxiety and depression, and acculturative stress/victims of violence, bullying and oppression. I am skilled in multiple evidence-based therapeutic modalities, which I utilize to help clients change patterns of unhelpful thoughts, bring clarity and understanding, improve relationships/communication, and properly grieve and process past hurts - all while learning tangible, practical skills that can be applied each day and improve quality of life.
My Personal Beliefs and Interests
I have over 10 years of experience working in the social services field. I started off with humble beginnings and grew up in a low-income community as a first generation born Vietnamese American and have first hand experience of the complex needs of vulnerable populations. My upbringing also taught me the power of resilience, setting boundaries, believing in “come backs,” taking ownership, rewriting narratives, asserting needs and unburdening ourselves of past hurts.
