Therapy, with me.

I started Tập Counseling to focus on creating greater access to culturally responsive mental health services. As a long time participant in mental health and social services myself, I understand firsthand the needs and systemic shortfalls that people marginalized by dominant culture face when trying to access tailored and anti-oppressive mental health care. I would be honored to be a fellow traveler in the healing journeys of those who identify as people of color and/or adult children of immigrants.

My style in providing therapy is collaborative, direct, and honest. We will focus on how you can be in more alignment with (and be more accountable to) yourself and your communities. We will explore the intersections of your identities and how power/privilege and marginalization interact in your relationships and the systems you move through. My practice is inclusive of: LGBTQIA2S+ identities, sex work, ethical non-monogamy, neurodivergence, chronic illness, and health at every size. We will explore the impact of the trauma of all the “isms” (racism, sexism, ableism, classism, colonialism, imperialism, capitalism, etc). We will also identify and hold space for the complex, the nuanced, and the subtle. We will work together to discover and create agency, choice, empowerment, connection, and belonging in an oppressive world. We will also find pockets of joy—and probably do a lot of laughing in session!
