About My Clients
I work with people who are curious about themselves and want help making sense and meaning out of their past experiences and present concerns. As a mixed-race Asian-American woman, I have a particular clinical interest in working with bi/multi-racial clients and those living in the in-between.
My Background and Approach
I approach therapy through a relational psychodynamic lens, meaning I view well-being as deeply connected to our relationships, past experiences, and cultural identities. As a therapist, I am there asking questions, noticing patterns, and offering up what I have learned as a person walking a similar path and as a clinician with training and experience working with others in similar places. I have a background in visual art and find that the stories people tell with art are powerful and healing. I often reference art in all forms in my work as a therapist. The art we love is part of us and is a way of knowing ourselves on a deeper, spiritual level.
My Personal Beliefs and Interests
I believe that everything you have done that has led you to this moment has been an attempt to take care of yourself, whether or not it has yielded the results you hoped for. My goal is to meet you where you are and collaborate to make meaning out of your experiences and make your daily life more manageable and fulfilling. Life is incredibly painful and often lonely. Therapy can be a way of not being alone with the most unspeakable and debilitating parts of being a human being. It is an incredibly unique relationship in service of your soul.
