About My Clients
My client base includes folks of all racial backgrounds, gender expressions, identities, sexual orientations, and kink/BDSM/poly/ethical non-monogamy experiences. I'm excited to work with folks to open up new possibilities and pathways for not just surviving, but thriving. We can explore, redefine, and play with notions of family and intergenerational community both in relationship to queerness and in rejection of white supremacy and colonialism.
My Background and Approach
As a therapist I work to witness and experience the impact systemic oppression has on our ability to build interdependent relationships and communities. As a mixed-race queer, trans, and non-binary Korean American I know how necessary it is to create opportunities for folks of various identities to be joyful, playful, creative, and at ease in their bodies. For over 10 years I have been working with people during life’s transformational moments. I love finding creative ways to approach the work, whether through spiritual practice, music, art, gaming, or television shows. I cater each therapeutic modality (narrative, somatic, relational, interpersonal, solutions-focused, etc.) to the individual, couple, or polycule I am working with.
