Hello! 你好! Do you need support in navigating a world that does not affirm your identities? My therapeutic approach is trauma-informed, person-centered, and rooted in liberation and anti-oppression frameworks. As a proud queer, trans and nonbinary currently able-bodied Chinese American, I am committed to the lifelong work of abolition and collective care in the field of mental health and beyond.

I specialize in supporting folks through cross-cultural diasporic struggles (hello fellow children of immigrants!), fellow LGBTQIA+ folks, with a focus on QTBIPOC and trans folks. I am kink, ENM/CNM/poly-affirming, sex-worker-affirming, disability-justice focused, and anti-genocide. Free Palestine, Sudan, Congo, all colonized peoples!

We are co-conspirators in all movements. It would be my privilege to build a collaborative space with you and your loved ones where we discover together what affirms y'alls needed existence and presence in this world. I look forward to connecting with you!

I believe that healing happens on a community level, not on an individual basis. I work from an anti-oppressive framework and liberation-based practices. Together, we'll look at how the systems in place marginalize communities and how to come together to fight for liberation for all.
