About My Clients
I work with high-achieving professionals and leaders who carry significant responsibility in their work, families, and communities. Many are navigating burnout, anxiety, trauma, and the pressure of being “the strong one.” I have particular experience supporting individuals from historically marginalized communities and those balancing identity, culture, and complex systems while seeking clarity, resilience, and sustainable ways forward.
My Background and Approach
I start with a liberation psychology lens, recognizing that your experiences are shaped not only by internal patterns, but also by identity, culture, and the systems you navigate. From there, I integrate CBT, ACT, exposure-based work, and systems approaches to build practical tools. This approach is intentional—skills are not applied in isolation, but grounded in your real life. The result is therapy that feels more relevant, empowering, and sustainable as you move forward.
My Personal Beliefs and Interests
My work is grounded in a deep commitment to DEI and social justice. I am Hmong American and a refugee of war, bringing a lived understanding of how identity, culture, and systems shape experience. I identify as a womanist, recognizing how power, privilege, and oppression intersect across identities and the push and pulls this creates on expectations placed on individuals and within family systems. I am an award-winning leader recognized as an expert in anti-racism and for advancing inclusive, innovative systemic transformation, having led system-wide DEI strategy and initiatives within a large public healthcare system. I am LGBTQIA+ affirming and have worked as a psychologist in a gender and sexual health clinic, providing therapy and gender-affirming surgery evaluations, which I continue to offer. I believe therapy must acknowledge these realities while supporting meaningful, sustainable change.
