I work primarily with Asian American women who are navigating the deep and often invisible effects of complex trauma. Living with complex trauma can feel like you're constantly fighting an invisible battle. You might feel out of place-like you don’t truly belong anywhere. Maybe anxiety is a daily companion, feeding a cycle of self-doubt and harsh inner criticism. You might carry a quiet but persistent belief that you're not enough. Or maybe there’s just a deep emptiness, or overwhelming pain, rage, guilt, shame, or sorrow that feels too much to hold alone.

We begin by building a space that feels safe and steady. Together, we’ll slow things down and gently tune in to your body-its sensations, its memories, its wisdom-so you can feel more grounded and at home in yourself. We'll get curious about your emotions, give them space to be felt and expressed, and explore the different parts of you with compassion.

This journey isn’t about fixing you-it’s about honoring your survival and making room for new possibilities. I’m here to support you as you rediscover your joy, reconnect with your authentic self, and embrace your wholeness. If you’re ready for deep healing, let’s start with a free 30-minute consultation to begin our work together.
