People usually come to me around a few overlapping struggles: Feeling not good enough, no matter what you've achieved, and a harsh inner voice that doesn't let up. Not knowing where your boundaries are, or knowing them and still feeling guilty holding them. Patterns that started in childhood and keep showing up in your relationships, your self-talk, or how you respond to conflict, without you fully knowing why. Burnout from constantly performing, overgiving, or holding everything together, until you can't anymore. Feeling overwhelmed by your emotions, or the opposite: shutting down, going numb, or struggling to even name what you're feeling in the moment. Difficulty navigating identity and belonging, whether that's cultural, biracial, third-culture, neurodivergent, or LGBTQ+ identity, especially when you've never quite felt like you belonged fully in one space. Communication and relationship struggles, including assertiveness, conflict, and figuring out what you actually want to say versus what you've learned to say to keep the peace. Living with a chronic illness, and the toll it can take on your energy, identity, and relationships. 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. 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, and 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, surrounded by people also working out where they belonged, added to that. 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.
