Welcome my fellow traveler, my clinical work is informed both by my professional training and my lived experience as an Asian queer immigrant/diaspora. My inherent inclination has always been to support people who often find themselves excluded by racism, sexism, xenophobia, heteronormativity, fatphobia, ableism, ageism, or other dominant cultural norms. As a result, I am drawn toward non-pathologizing strength-based perspectives. My clinical philosophy emphasizes empowering the marginalized and hearing the unheard through an anti-oppressive neuroexpansive multicultural feminist lens.

– Trauma (complex, developmental, preverbal, physical, sexual, intergenerational, racial, etc.), attachment wounds (e.g. mother’s wound), issues with the family of origin, grief and loss

– Sex therapy for individuals and couples/polycules (intimacy issues, mismatched desire, sexual pain and dysfunction, kink/fetish/BDSM, sexuality exploration, sexual performance anxiety, pelvic floor dysfunction, etc.)

– Relationship therapy for individuals and couples/polycules (conflicts, communication, infidelity, life transitions as a family, navigating opening up/poly/consensual non-monogamy, disconnection, etc.)

– Marginalized experiences and identity exploration (racial, gender, cultural, etc.)

– Challenges with cross-cultural/between-culture experiences

– Body image issues, disordered eating, eating disorders (Binge Eating Disorder, Anorexia, Bulimia, OSFED, ARFID); perfectionism

I bring you a unique integrative approach weaving together inner child/parts work (Internal Family System), body-oriented (somatic attachment therapy, Sensorimotor Psychotherapy), and brain/neurobiology-based (EMDR, Deep Brain Reorienting Therapy) interventions, with a trauma-informed focus on attachment and relational dynamics (Emotionally Focused Therapy, Couples Developmental Model, Intimacy From The Inside Out).
