Let's talk about your story. We are surrounded by stories about ourselves, our cultures, and communities. I help trans, queer, and POC people explore the stories that compose our lived experiences of anxiety, depression, gender, immigration, and race. Together, we'll work towards unpacking generational trauma to fortify your mental wellness, communication, boundaries, and intentional living. More about me: I am a queer, transmasculine, first generation Vietnamese immigrant that has a green thumb and understands food to be a primary love language. My approach to therapy is informed by my personal and professional experiences navigating intergenerational growing pains, academia, transitioning, and relationships. *I am not currently accepting family, couples, or group counseling inquiries* *I have limited reduced rate spots at $150/hr for clients who are unable to pay my full rate*
What treatment methods and tools do you utilize?
Much of my therapeutic perspective is led by the idea that problems exist within sociocultural contexts, with their own histories and goals for our lives. My goal in our work together is to cultivate intentional relationships with you and the problems that exist in your life. I primarily practice narrative talk therapy and EMDR.
Explain to clients what areas you feel are your biggest strengths.
My biggest strengths are working with trans youth, Asian American communities, and immigrant communities. I work well with folks who appreciate direct communication and guidance. I provide mental health letters of support for gender-affirmation surgery, emotional support animals and other accommodations. Please email or message me to inquire more.
