Bio

Sometimes, our deepest feelings and experiences are the hardest to put into words. You might find yourself caught between different roles, family expectations, or even different cultures, only to realize that something still feels lost in translation, no matter what language you speak. You may find within yourself a quiet longing for true belonging and a desire to feel fully seen and understood. This sense of feeling “in-between” can be especially daunting when you are moving through a major life chapter, such as navigating fertility, pregnancy, or the transition to parenthood. When so much of what once felt familiar is shifting, it is natural to feel isolated or overwhelmed.

I’m deeply familiar with the questions of belonging, identity, and home. My lived experience, as a first-generation Vietnamese immigrant, alongside my work with immigrants and parents, informs the therapeutic space I create. My practice is affirming to those who have experienced trauma (generational and present-day), exclusion, or the complex journey of finding where they belong. Whether “home” is a physical place you left, a community you are still searching for, or a sense of safety you are trying to build within your own skin, this space is for you. 

My hope is that you'll feel genuinely seen and understood without judgment, perhaps in ways you haven’t experienced before. Together, we’ll explore your story, make sense of it, untangle what feels uneasy and complicated, and when you’re ready, retell it on your own terms.

My approach is relational, culturally attuned, trauma-informed, and holistic. I draw from psychodynamic and narrative therapy, somatic and mindfulness practices, Eastern philosophies, and elements of CBT. My years working with children and adolescents also taught me the value of curiosity, creativity, and playfulness, which I bring into sessions when it feels natural and helpful. 

I welcome clients facing a wide range of life's challenges, with a special passion for supporting immigrants, BIPOC, and the Asian community, high-achieving adults navigating perfectionism and burnout, and new or expecting parents. Whatever has brought you here, you're welcome in this space. I'd love to hear from you.
