We all have the capacity for healing and personal empowerment but life can get in the way! You want to detach from painful past experiences, start liking yourself again, and start really living your truth. Your relationships keep feeling hallow and disconnected. Worry about rejection or safety feels normal. You're barely keeping up with things, let alone trying to add in a therapy appointment each week! But you can feel it. You just can't keep avoiding these simmering feelings anymore because they keep coming back, they just keep coming back. I'm glad you are here, you're in the right place.

I center my work with Black, Indigenous and People of Color (BIPOC) persons at their intersections, most often LGBTQA+, artists, activists, deep seekers, and other healers. Many have a strong spiritual connection to their current obstacles and are willing to integrate that into their treatment. Presenting concerns range from racial trauma to life transitions, grief to identity. There is an understanding that what is presenting is not a problem, where the goal is creating more space around struggles, creating more options, finding a different perspective, and Being more fully.

As human beings, we frequently subject ourselves to harsh self-judgment. While self-criticism has its merits on occasion, it often engenders emotional turmoil. Research into self-compassion has unveiled its extraordinary ability to diminish anxiety, depression, and stress while elevating motivation, confidence, and overall performance. Yet, the practical application of self-compassion is often more challenging than mere words suggest.

Therapy provides a space to process and reclaim experiences, thoughts, and emotions that may have felt stuck or weighed down by the pressures of our surroundings, cultural practices, and deep-seated personal beliefs. These barriers may be reflected in your family relationships, experiences of trauma and loss, and interactions with institutional forces. As a narrative-centered therapist, I will provide a supportive environment for you to deepen your understanding of yourself, challenge these barriers, and reframe your story in order to make empowered choices that align with your values and goals.

My ideal client has experienced trauma and seeks a safe, compassionate space within an anti-sexist, anti-racist, and anti-homophobic practice. They may be dealing with anxiety, depression, or feelings of disconnection and are ready for a holistic approach. They value a therapist who combines traditional therapies like EMDR and ACT with intuitive, client-centered methods. Their goal is to heal from their experiences, build resilience, and create a life where they can truly thrive, potentially incorporating Usui Reiki energy work or other intuitive healing practices. Ultimately, they want an authentic, inclusive healing journey.

Many of my clients need help with anxiety, pain, bad habits, relationships, sexuality, fears, and phobias. Issues my clients have and specific treatment areas (see my web site) range from tooth grinding, reducing chronic pain, improving performance in sports, stopping smoking, weight loss, anxiety about medical or dental procedures, sex issues, sleep problems, spiritual conflicts, setting goals and addressing mental "blocks," resolving past issues in life, to improving relationships. I help people learn to relax and how to have personal "tools" to "dial down" stress, pain, and anxiety to become healthy, happy, and centered.

Change happens! Maybe your life changed in a single event or slowly over time. It could be a loss of a person, a job, your health, or just the way things were. Sometimes the script of what you thought your world was about has flipped or no longer fits your new situation. We are in difficult times; our once reliable ways of coping and caring for ourselves may not work as well today. Even if you feel unsure of what’s possible, I can support you in finding new tools and revising your story to better fit your present needs and values. Let’s work together to discover what works best for you so you can get back to living your life.

I am a Licensed Independent Clinical Social Worker (LICSW) in the State of Washington (LW61263458). I hold my Bachelor’s in Social Welfare and my Master’s in Social Work from the University of Washington. I was born in Germany to Vietnamese refugees and relocated to the United States at the age of ten. Being an immigrant has enriched my lived experiences and exposed me to both the complexity of cultural and generational divides, as well as the importance of embracing one’s own cultural identity.

I hold a deep regard and compassion for each individual and the ways they have learned to survive. I view therapy as a collaborative journey towards integration of self and expansion of the potentials already inherent in you. In line with this, I aim for our work together to be as liberatory as possible. I see you as the expert of your own story and as holding the potential for your own healing. In our time together we can work to uncover what gets in the way of your inherent ability to flourish, be it internal, relational or rooted in the social environment in which we exist.

You may have heard a saying that depression arises from living in the past, anxiety from living in the future, and the antidote for both is living in the present. Many of us push away the present moment with distractions, automatic behaviors, over-committing, substance use, and screen-time. Other times when we slow down enough to be present, we might not like the person we find ourselves to be - out of alignment with our environment or acting in ways that don’t match our values. However you are trying to get "un-stuck" or find a more authentic self, it helps to have a guide who can help you find footing.

People are multifaceted, therefore I take a holistic, trauma informed approach to treating clients and look at the various symptoms and challenges one may be experiencing. Talk therapy is often beneficial on its own, but I enjoy bringing in other elements such as humor, and collaboration to enhance the expression and understanding of one’s feelings and experiences. I welcome clients’ ideas and creativity as we work together. I believe with empowerment and exploration people can use internal resources to notice patterns within themselves, solve problems and cope with life's challenges.
