People usually come to me around a few overlapping struggles: feeling not good enough no matter what you've achieved, not knowing where your boundaries are, patterns from childhood that keep showing up in your relationships or self-talk, burnout from constantly performing or holding everything together, or difficulty navigating identity and belonging. If any of that sounds familiar, you're in the right place.
You don't need to have it figured out before we start. I'm here to help you slow down, understand your own patterns, and build a relationship with yourself and others that feels more honest and less exhausting.
I also work with clients managing chronic illness, and clients navigating identity that doesn't fit neatly into one box, whether that's cultural, neurodivergent, or LGBTQ+ identity.
Much of this work is personal to me too. I was raised in a biracial, Asian-European household, where two very different sets of rules, values, and ways of expressing emotion often clashed. I grew up translating between them, what counted as respect in one culture could look like silence or suppression in the other, what counted as healthy independence in one could look like selfishness in the other. Years at international schools added their own pressures and social dynamics, and it often felt like those around me, including adults, didn't fully understand them. I also understand both conservative and progressive ways of seeing the world, which helps me connect with clients across very different backgrounds without anyone needing to over-explain themselves.
My approach is collaborative and non-judgmental. You won't be handed a fixed program to follow, we'll figure out together what you actually need from session to session.
