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
