About

I am a body-centered therapist who specializes in working with anger, anxiety and trauma. I believe therapy should honor diversity and inclusivity, and make way for intergenerational healing. I offer Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing (EMDR); Level 1 Yoga Therapy; Experiential Therapy; and am a trauma-informed yoga teacher. My approach stems from a strength-based, trauma-informed lens that allows for us to explore and understand cognitive, emotional, and physiological needs. Together, we explore and heal through discovering a harmonized sense of Self. I am a second-generation Vietnamese-American born and raised in San Diego, California. As a child of immigrant refugees, defining identity, understanding family dynamics, cultivating connection, and finding ways to be gentle with life events and experiences have been important, evolving aspects in my life. For me, it is not just about finding balance, it is about finding harmony in all the different parts of who we are. As a Vietnamese American therapist, it is important that therapy reflects cultural competence, sensitivity, and inclusion.
