Specialties
I work with adult individuals and couples and see out of state clients virtually. In particular, I work especially well with folks of the Asian diaspora, immigrants, QTBIPOC, artists and creatives, neurodivergent/neurospicy, healers and activists, entrepreneurs, high achievers recovering from burnout, poly/non-monogamous folks, interracial and multicultural couples and spiritually-inclined individuals.
My approach draws from various methods, such as Hakomi (Mindful Somatic Psychology), Trauma Informed Stabilization Treatment (combines IFS parts work and Sensorimotor), and EFT (Emotionally Focused Therapy). I study and practice somatic abolitionism, continuously acknowledging and working through my own implicit biases, privileges, and limitations and hold this as essential to the work I do with clients.
I also have extensive personal experience with non-ordinary states of consciousness. I have received significant healing and growth through these experiences and bring an embodied understanding of the importance of set and setting into the container I would hold for other
