About My Clients
After we turn 18, whether consciously or unconsciously, we all get the choice to continue or end our relationships with our parents/guardians. For some of us, the decision is easier to make, for others it’s more complicated. You are at a crossroad. You are finding yourself stuck in the same old story and yearning to breathe life into a new one. You’re asking yourself, “Do I still want to feel the same about this relationship in a year? What is possible?"
My Background and Approach
I am a 2nd generation Hmong American. Like a lot of 2nd generation refugee children, there were a lot of conflict between me and my parents growing up; cultural difference being one of the reasons. It wasn’t until I became an adult that I began appreciating and redefining my relationship with my parents. Part of the reconnection with my parents, is the story telling. In a lot of culture, story telling is connecting with our past, present, and how we want to be in the future. The foundation for my work is the belief that: “The person is not the problem, the problem is the problem.” - Michael White
My Personal Beliefs and Interests
I believe that each person comes in with their own set of values and skills that can be brought out in our work together. I believe that problems do not have 100% control of your life. My hope is that you can claim more ownership of your life and interact with others in more meaningful ways. Your life story is valuable and deserves a space to be heard. As an adult, you deserve to have a life defined by YOU, and no one else. You are more than your single story.
