About My Clients
Are going through a life-transition right now that is turning your life upside-down? Are you going through a big change in your life (move, loss of a relationship, health, loved one or job) and you are not sure and anxious about what's next? Are you having challenges in your relationships to your Asian parents or siblings because you feel so different from them? I can help you feel more centered and grounded in your true and authentic self and to gain confidence to live your life fully.
My Background and Approach
With me, there will be no "fixing" or judging you or your experiences. Everything is welcome here. I will help you navigate your challenging thoughts and feelings and awaken and guide you towards your own internal wisdom. I have over 20 years of experience as a palliative care social worker and my approach is to listen to you deeply and to draw out your own internal goals, values and wishes for a good and full life. We will work together to use techniques to help manage anxiety, fear and sadness based in mindfulness and neuroscience. We will discover together what is most important to you and will provide you tools and skills to help you feel more grounded and free.
My Personal Beliefs and Interests
In my life, I have often felt like an outsider -- as someone who didn't belong. I was definitely not a typical Asian girl, and didn't have typical Asian girl interests. I experienced bullying in my early school years that was so challenging to cope with, and at times, I didn't know if I would make it. As I began to discover my own LGBTQ+ identity after many years of avoidance, I turned to therapy for further support and integration. This very much helped me move toward more fully enjoying and loving myself for who I am -- and I would say also saved my life. I believe wholeheartedly that everyone has the capacity to change and grow at anytime in life. We are all capable of healing, even from situations that have been the most challenging or traumatic. It is about holding those experiences, thoughts and feelings with love and kindness. I want to do that for you, too. If my profile resonates with you, feel free to reach out to me. I would love to connect.
