About My Clients
I specialize in working with queer, TGNB, and BIPOC adults. I have experience with a range of challenges including depression, anxiety, gender identity, polyamory/relationship concerns, and healing from trauma, but the most common issue among my clients is struggling to have a sense of belonging due to intersecting identities. I collaborate with clients to explore the parts of themself that have been disowned, the parts that deserve to be seen, and the parts that are yet to be discovered.
My Background and Approach
I embrace living with authenticity and integrity and will use these values to help you create the relationships with yourself and others that you desire. Within therapy sessions, I listen for ways to foster connections between your body and mind. I focus on the bridge between emotional, behavioral, and physical sensations and may also encourage you to tap into the wisdom of your ancestors and nature. My approach is relationally-oriented meaning I attune to the present moment in session, recognizing what happens inside the therapy room may be what happens outside of therapy, too. Together we will create a space where you feel seen, heard, and encouraged in exploring areas for self-growth. Contact me for a free 20-minute consultation.
My Personal Beliefs and Interests
As a queer, non-binary, Chinese/Native Hawaiian person, I understand the impact of cross-generational trauma and colonialism on all bodies. I practice solo polyamory in my relationships and have experience with monogamy, marriage, and multiracial/blended families. I believe in collective liberation and have previously engaged in social justice by volunteering with refugees in Greece as well as serving as a board member for The Equi Institute in Portland. I support making therapy accessible- please ask about my Sliding Scale. Outside of therapy, I indulge in self-led pastry tours, explore new music (Spotify calls my taste "shapeshifter"), immerse myself in nature, and deepen my avian knowledge while playing Wingspan.
