I want therapy to be a place where you can step outside what's familiar, find the trust you need to be honest, and grow into who you're becoming, rather than who your family or circumstances expected you to be. I work with individuals, couples, and families in English and Cantonese, which means bilingual families don't have to choose between finding a good therapist and finding one who actually speaks their language at home.

My particular focus is BIPOC clients, immigrant and first-generation experiences, grief, and intergenerational trauma, the patterns and expectations that get passed down across generations without anyone quite naming what's happening or why it keeps repeating. I approach this work with real respect for how much courage it takes to question family patterns you were raised inside of, especially when doing so might look like disloyalty rather than growth. I'm completing my clinical hours toward full LMFT licensure.

I'm supervised by Brittany Thomas, LMFT, an AAMFT Approved Supervisor, which means the clinical judgment behind my work is backed by dedicated, credentialed oversight. And while cultural and intergenerational work is my particular focus, plenty of my clients come in with none of that on their mind: grief, anxiety, relationship strain, or a hard season that doesn't need a special category. The work is the same either way, building enough trust to be honest about what's actually going on.

I'm a good fit for a Cantonese-speaking client, or a BIPOC, immigrant, or first-generation family in Tacoma or across Washington state navigating grief or intergenerational trauma. I'm also a good fit for anyone who wants a therapist who listens closely and assumes nothing, whatever your background.

Request a session or send a question first if you're not sure this is the right fit yet. Family sessions where generations speak different primary languages are territory I navigate regularly.
