In decolonial work, they often say that the loss of land is the first and deepest wound. The way I hold this in therapy is in the belief that we’re all just trying to find our way home. As a child of Taiwanese immigrants, I carry developmental traumas from my childhood as well as intergenerational migration wounds. Compound that with the loss of a parent in my early 20’s as well as experiencing racialized spiritual trauma systemically, institutionally, and relationally, and you get a cocktail that presents itself in many layers in many ways in many of the relationships I cherish, including the one I have with myself. But as I consider what finding my way home looks like, it’s these relationships, with people from past lineage to present circles to future generations, that beings me to doing the work of a therapist.What if in our healing journeys we gift rest to our ancestors? Joy and peace to our families, friends, and partners? Hope and life to our future generations?
My goal is to empower people of the global majority and marginalized communities to dismantle the ways the status quo individualizes and internalizes our struggles so that you can let go of what doesn’t belong to you and find gentleness in relating to the ways in which you have made it until today. Through therapy, I create a courageous space where harmful narratives can be examined and dismantled so that new and healthier patterns of relating to yourself and others can emerge as you find your way home.
I am a graduate student intern who comes to this work with a deep belief in the power of healing relationships, embodied awareness, and the resilience of the human spirit. My approach is rooted in decolonial ethics, which means I pay close attention to the ways systems like white supremacy, capitalism, and heteropatriarchy shape our lived experiences, relationships, and messages about what healing looks like.
I integrate somatic therapy and Internal Family Systems in a warm and trauma-informed approach to support you in becoming curious and compassionate to your patterns of relating to yourself and others.
I’m especially passionate about working with BIPOC and LGBTQ+ folks navigating intergenerational trauma, identity, grief, and the everyday weight of living in systems not built for us. Whether you’re looking for support around a specific issue or seeking a space to simply be and breathe, I’m here to walk alongside you.
When I am not working, you can find me writing flash fiction and other essays, adventuring somewhere new in Austin with my family, or scouting out my next dumpling spot. I also enjoy running, reading fiction and watching movies, TV shows, and anime as ways to relax.
I am a Masters of Counseling Psychology candidate at The Seattle School of Theology and Psychology with a projected graduation date of Spring 2026.
“Contrary to what we may have been taught to think, unnecessary and unchosen suffering wounds us but need not scar us for life. It does mark us. What we allow the mark of our suffering to become is in our own hands.” – bell hooks
