On the surface everything is “fine” but underneath is there an inner critic that rails against you all day? You want to unload your shame and anxiety, but not sure how? As an Asian-American therapist who sees the therapeutic relationship as a powerful instrument of change, I see therapy as a sacred site to bear witness to and support the whole person lingering in and around the thresholds of life. It’s a space where you are seen and accepted for who you are, where we can safely untangle generational wounds, shame, perfectionism, internalized invisibility, and find the courage to explore, learn, and tend to the messiness of life.
I specialize in supporting women navigating changes, parenting, pregnancy, prenatal, and postpartum stages often at the intersections of race, gender, cumulative grief and trauma, through a decolonial and humanistic lens. My work focuses on promoting deeper wellness and combines Internal Family Systems frameworks, mindfulness based practices, and ACT.
I am a 1.5 generation immigrant, woman of color learning and unlearning alongside you and feel honored to be a part of the collaborative effort to reimagine all of humanity as liberated, abundant, and whole. If you believe that we might be a good fit, I invite you to reach out to me by email.
