I stand in solidarity with our local and global communities that are experiencing any type of oppression. Our collective health will always be impacted by those harming and being harmed.

About & Approach

—

I embody identities from both minoritized and privileged spaces, as a queer, neurodivergent, ex-evangelical, 4th-generation Japanese American. My family was incarcerated unjustly for being Japanese American during World War II, which deeply informs my clinical lens and practice.

I believe healing is interwoven between belonging and nervous system safety, as we come into connection with others and with the community of parts within us.

I hold a Relational-Cultural theoretical framework with an Internal Family Systems and somatic (body-based) orientation, echoing that systemic harm causes deeper-layered unsafety, disconnecting us from our emotional and physical sensations, feeling, and inner knowing. We can cultivate a curious, nurturing, and safe-enough space where all parts can belong, and each one has the opportunity to return back to community.

Finding gentle movement and somatic practice also allows our nervous systems to metabolize the energy and remember what safety feels like, creating an important mind-body pathway toward connection.

In my everyday, you can find me park adventuring with my pup, Mochi, trying to balance my intuition and presence, and keeping some whimsy alive with arts and crafting.

  • One of the most terrifying & isolating aspects of feeling like you don't belong is the ineffableness. Asian Americans, even in all our diversity, often lack the words to describe how it hurts, why we feel this way, the ways our loneliness manifests, and — most importantly — how we can change things.

  • Trauma is a wordless story our body tells itself about what is safe and what is a threat.

  • Because this work of inner healing, relational reconciliation, and identity integration has the power to transform generations after us, I cannot even begin to imagine what is possible if we all committed to healing and prioritizing our mental health as a community.

    — Jenny Wang, Permission to Come Home: Reclaiming Mental Health as Asian Americans

  • We tend to think of healing as something binary—either we're broken or we're healed. But that's not how healing operates, and it's almost never how human growth works. More often, healing and growth take place on a continuum, with innumerable points between utter brokenness and total health.
