I am an Asian-American therapist seeking to create a healing and culturally affirming environment for Children, Teens, and Young Adults. Life as a POC can be confusing to navigate as we can have traditions, values, and obligations that oppose our American cultural upbringing. This therapeutic space will be a safe container for those looking to explore their identity, purpose, and authenticity.
My therapy approach is focused on the importance of nurturing feelings of belonging in the person within the context of their identified community. Being vulnerable is scary with our work together you will gain enough knowledge and insight about yourself so that you can make the decisions and life choices that feel the best for you.
My intention is to support clients in creating a space of increased authenticity, security, and self-acceptance. Breaking free from oppressive narratives that block us from becoming our most authentic self.
