Individual Counseling

From my own international upbringing and multicultural identity, I understand how lonely, maddening, and exhausting it can be to feel like you don’t fully belong no matter where you go.
Aren’t sure of who you are or what you believe anymore
Feel guilty, afraid, ashamed, or numb and often don’t know why
Are tired of continually being judged and held to impossible expectations —including by yourself
Struggle with saying no and knowing what you want
So, if you:
Wonder why you just can’t seem to fit in or keep up
Can’t seem to relax or enjoy the relationships and activities you cherish
Are fed up with being shoehorned into made-up boxes
Freeze up when facing decisions
Ache to stop holding back parts of who you are
… know that you are not alone.
Instead of being pathologized, belabored by shaming sermons, or asked to educate yet another person, my clients can take refuge in a judgement-free space.
I invite them into curiosity about themselves — their feelings, beliefs, relationships — within a compassionate, collaborative, and empowering relationship.
I understand how stifling and scary it can be trying to even just exist in a society and cultures so bound up in binaries.
I welcome each and every part of you to:
Challenge repressive beliefs and harmful narratives
Process personal traumas and unpack the legacies of abuse and oppression
Experience relief from persistent guilt, looming dread, or a lingering sense of inadequacy
Build healthier communication and relationships with yourself and others
Become more present and at peace in your own life
Design a life according to your own beliefs and values
Develop a grounding sense of self and discover clarity in decision-making
Create sustainable self-care and/or spiritual practices
Own your strengths and discover confidence in your passions and identity
