If you're feeling out of alignment with your true self, my hope is to be a guiding light for your journey back home. We're constantly inundated with messages about who we should be and what we should prioritize, but what others expect of us doesn't always align with our desires. In fact, some people prefer that we neglect our inner experiences, emotions, and needs. Particularly for those of us who have been silenced or marginalized, we've faced powerful obstacles to connecting, loving, and honoring our true selves. My aspiration is to help you become a loving protector and nurturer for you and rekindle your relationship with you.
I am licensed in CA and WA. I draw from mindfulness-based approaches like DBT, ACT, MBSR, MBCT, and Mindful Self-Compassion that allow me to incorporate my personal connection to Buddhism into my work. I also use CBT in conjunction with more empowering Solution Focused & Narrative Therapies to help you rewrite your story through your own perspective.
As a first generation immigrant, I recognize the social stigmas of mental health and taboos around asking for help. As someone who benefits from therapy, I also understand the importance of finding the right therapist. I aspire to create a warm, non-judgmental space for my clients, and hope you give yourself the time and space to find a great match for you.
