My Background and Approach
I am a Licensed Clinical Social Worker Associate (LCSWA) with a Master of Social Work (MSW) through a joint program between NC A&T State University and UNC-Greensboro (2025). With over 6 years of experience, I’ve supported folks across social services, public health, neurodivergent care, & LGBTQIA+ advocacy. As a first-generation Asian American who’s navigated cultural stigma, family expectations, & my own coming-out journey, I deeply understand how identity & culture shape mental wellness. My person-centered, holistic style invites curiosity & collaboration. I draw from several research-based modalities & incorporate them into my work with folks such as Motivational Interviewing (MI), Acceptance & Commitment Therapy (ACT), Trauma-Focused Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (TF-CBT), Dialectical Behavioral Therapy (DBT) informed skills, & psychoeducation. I also use the Gottman Method for couples therapy to strengthen relationships.
My Personal Beliefs and Interests
I’m guided by a deep commitment to diversity, equity, & inclusion (DEI). Whether I was fighting for family reunification in social services, rolling out accessible HIV/PrEP programs through health departments, or advocating on behalf of the LGBTQIA+ community, I learned that DEI means listening first, adapting second, & making sure everyone has a seat at the table. I believe every person holds expertise in their own life, so therapy should honor their wisdom, autonomy, & story. From a non-judgmental lens, I hold space for vulnerability, curiosity, & growth. My core values are compassion, authenticity, & radical acceptance. Compassion drives deep empathy; authenticity invites honest connection; radical acceptance honors every part of you without pathologizing. I recognize that healing blooms in its own sweet time, moving to everyone’s unique rhythm rather than a predetermined timeline. Throughout our work together, I’ll be beside you, celebrating every step of your therapeutic journey.
