Roeland Park, KS 66205
When I was reaching out for counseling for the first time, I felt so stuck and helpless. There were so many things to consider and I was worried about finding the right fit for my needs as well as finding someone who I could truly trust and resonate with. As you are searching for a counselor to help you explore your inner world, I hope that I may be able to help. With empathy and safety as top priorities, we can begin to untangle stories, process grief, relieve anxiety or depression, or address trauma. Maybe just one of those things, maybe all of those things, or maybe more! You deserve peace and rest.

Are you feeling stuck, anxious, depressed or simply uncertain? You're not alone. Many of us carry within us untold stories of trauma and limiting beliefs that keep us stagnated. Unresolved emotions can take a toll on both mental and physical well-being. Regardless of where you are or how far you've veered off your desired path, you have the capacity to start anew. I truly believe that "If you can change your mind, you can change your life." By learning to tap into your innate power and tuning in to the voice of your higher self, you can begin to live a coherence life that is filled with purpose and meaning.

I see each person as a lotus, unfolding gracefully despite life's challenges—much like how it grows beautifully in the mud. We all deal with stress, fears, worries, and tough times that can make life overwhelming or lonely. My goal is to create a safe space where you can learn to navigate these ups and downs and realize that you're not alone on this journey. Growing up in a Vietnamese household in an American society has given me unique insights, inspiring me to become a mental health counselor. I understand the struggle of finding someone relatable to talk to, so I'll focus on creating a trusting and warm relationship between us.

Our clients often identify as LGBTQIAs2+ / Queer, Non-monogamous, sex positive or sex neutral, neurodivergence, and or disabled and living within Missouri or Kansas. However, identifying in these communities is not a requirement for services through AAC. Clients often start therapy to work on goals to learn more about identities, setting boundaries with others in their lives, opening up their relationship, learning more about themselves or others gender or sexual expression. Through individual, relationship, or family counseling we work to increase healthy communication based on our values, instead of assumed social norms.

Life can get complicated. Subsequently, we can start to feel isolated, lost, over-whelmed and/or unsure of who we are or what our purpose is. Trauma, past or present, creates a sense of no longer feeling safe and hence, we may develop coping skills that may help in the moment, but prolong the pain. I will help you draw a new map and identify skills and concepts to help you better manage your life, relationships and/or careers and identify your own worth. Pushing away your needs and not taking time for your own growth can lead to long term issues for your mind and body. It's never to late to build a better life.
