About Me
I specialize in working with people wanting to overcome manifestations of complex trauma/PTSD, including dissociation, emotion regulation difficulties, low self-esteem, interpersonal difficulties, and self-sabotaging behaviors. I see people as ever-changing, inspiring, and limitless. I'm influenced by existentialism, feminism, postcolonialism, attachment theory, and Buddhism. AANHPI & LGBTQ aligned.
