Approach

I hold a Master’s in Clinical Psychology and worked as a therapist in community mental health before divesting from licensure to disengage from exploitative systems. My practice centers decolonial, heart-led medicine rooted in liberation, ancestral wisdom, and radical care. As a mental health practitioner, I am committed to deconstructing oppressive ideologies, healing relational wounds and intergenerational trauma, reconnecting to ancestry in ways that honor both land and lineage, and integrating nature’s wisdom into therapeutic practices. I believe in moving through life in a more embodied way, bridging the synergy of mind, body, and spirit through psychosomatic awareness and integration. My work promotes diversity consciousness, community empowerment, and compassionate action.

I strive to provide a non-judgmental, supportive environment where people can explore ingrained patterns, gain insight, and shift toward more ease. Rooted in an empowerment model, my approach recognizes that each participant has the agency to move through their own healing transformation, with my role as a co-creative facilitator in their process.

One-on-one sessions include mental health counseling, emotional support, and healing companioning through a relational, strength-based, and trauma-focused approach. My work is grounded in compassion and guided by culturally sensitive, mindfulness-based practices. I draw from decolonial and feminist frameworks, deeply shaped by my lived experience as a Vietnamese-American queer femme.

My practice integrates a range of therapeutic modalities, including Gestalt, existential, humanistic, narrative, psychodynamic, EMDR, and somatic approaches. I also weave sound healing, breathwork, and movement meditation to support holistic transformation and embodied care.

Our work together can support stress management, trauma processing, relational healing, life transitions, spiritual exploration, learning enhancement, career development, personal growth, community building, goal setting, and self-discovery.
