About My Clients

Tired of being told that you just need to do a little more self-care or think a bit more positively in order to be happy? Feeling depressed, anxious, stressed, or downright angry in a world that often values productivity over care? It's hard to find wellness and healing when the world around you constantly perpetuates systemic harm. I hope to create a supportive space in which you can share your story, reflect on your experiences, and connect with what healing means to you.

My Background and Approach

I draw from a flexible range of modalities to create an approach that suits each client’s experiences and needs. I have most to offer in these areas: stress, depression, anxiety, identity issues, and substance use. I am a child of Asian immigrants and bilingual in Mandarin. As a queer woman of color, I am passionate about utilizing LGBTQIA-affirming, anti-oppressive, and empowerment-focused practice. I can support you in exploring the issues and challenges surrounding racism, migration, identity development, and intergenerational conflict/trauma that affect your mental health.
