About My Clients
I enjoy working with teens, adults, older adults, couples, and CNM/ENM relationship structures experiencing: chronic health conditions, dissociation and sense of self, family of origin and third culture experiences, grief, hospice and end of life care, identity exploration, LGBTQIA+ experiences, life transitions, mood and anxiety concerns, personality complexities, relational and complex trauma.
My Background and Approach
I am a queer, Chinese American with Hong Kong roots living with a chronic health condition in a world shaped by many systems that create barriers for people like me. My mission is to challenge those systems and empower my clients to do so as well by helping them discover their individual needs and find meaning along the way. I believe healing is not linear, and I aim to support you in finding comfort within discomfort by exploring creative approaches that align with your unique needs. I want to do therapy with you. The therapist-client relationship can feel new and vulnerable and I recognize that safety is ultimately co-created. Together, let’s discover ways we can gently bring back genuine, meaningful play and color into life again. I emphasize the present moment, always through a multicultural, feminist, and queer-affirmative lens. I also bring my diverse background in nonprofit museums and education to my practice, integrating creative and science-backed perspectives.
My Personal Beliefs and Interests
I enjoy being in nature, tending to my carnivorous plants, visiting museums, and learning fun facts about dinosaurs and ancient marine reptiles. You will find me in colorful, loudly patterned, or maximalist fashion as it reminds me to approach life with more whimsy and to take care of the child in me. My natural habitat is my couch where I can cozy up with my two dogs and watch reality TV shows.
