It’s important to talk to someone who gets what you’re going through, whether it’s something related to mental health, identity, life transitions, or important decisions. As your therapist, I’m here to be radically honest, unbearably kind, and help you - yes, you - make the changes you’ve always wanted.
As someone with a lot of identities - queer, transgender, Taiwanese-American, autistic, and more - my therapeutic stance combines my professional and personal experiences with what I learn from you so we may tailor the best approach. This can be more somatic-leaning, philosophically-inclined, skills-based, or any combination thereof. And since there is no way around the fact that we live in a society, therapy must also confront our responsibility to ourselves, our community, and the external factors that narrow our choices in the first place. Trained and practiced primarily in Dialectical Behavioral Therapy (DBT), a cousin of CBT, as well as given my identities, I offer a unique perspective on both the process of therapy and the environmental pressures we face.
And finally, when we have come as far as we can together, let us part ways amicably and healthily – my selfish quest as a therapist is to render myself obsolete, to contribute to a world that one day needs no borders, inequity, and even therapists. To those of you who have been neglected by our white-dominated institutions, who have sought help from those that don’t (and maybe cannot ever) “get it”, and who have been told you have or are a problem – let’s talk!

Online counseling, also known as teletherapy, is a method of delivering mental health services through digital means such as video conferencing, phone calls, or messaging platforms. It can be an ideal option for individuals who have difficulty accessing traditional therapy due to geographical distance, time constraints, or personal preferences like privacy and comfort. Many people find it easier to open up from the familiarity of their own space.
Teletherapy has been found to be highly effective, with studies showing that it can produce similar outcomes to in-person therapy, particularly for issues like anxiety, depression, and PTSD. The flexibility and accessibility it offers make it a valuable alternative to conventional therapy settings.
