I am looking to work with BIPOC, AAPI and Third Culture individuals. I see you as a whole person and aim to avoid reductionist and pathological interpretations. I believe that therapy offers a way for us to examine our narratives and their meanings. I work with people who are transitioning in all realms. People experiencing racism, grief/loss, those living with depression and anxiety, PTSD, and chronic burnout. I have extensitive training to support infertility, postpartum, or current or future parents .I deeply value spirituality, mindfulness, yoga and the arts.
I am direct and compassionate in my communication style. I strive to cultivate a safe, inclusive, non-judgmental space. I invite clients to know their strengths, self-worth, intrinsic values, and capacity for growth. My theoretical framework is eclectic & holistic, drawing on evidence-based theories to existential/humanistic theories.
I am fluent in Mandarin and conversational Spanish. I Love Reno! Other places I have lived are San Francisco, Amsterdam, Taipei, Buenos Aires, Manhattan, Los Angeles, and Madrid. I enjoy Friday night dinners with friends/family, boxing, art, cultural happenings, hiking, hot springs, bike rides, literature, podcasts, and jaunts with my three not-chill kids.
