I know what it's like not to feel safe in your own skin.
Maybe you've come out to yourself and a few friends you trust. You tell yourself you'll tell your family when you're in a serious relationship. But the thought of losing them stings, and you don't know where to start.
I've lived that. I know the cost of figuring out my queer identity, coming out, and losing relationships along the way.
So I created a space for queer Asians held back by cultural, religious and family expectations. Together we untangle heteronormativity, cultural conditioning and internalized shame, and build a life you choose for yourself.
Coming out isn't just a proclamation. It's a journey of coming home to yourself.
Who I work with
Queer & trans Asian adults, couples, and the families who love them.
Identity, gender & race
Exploring who you are, and healing racial and gender-based trauma.
Faith & religious trauma
Integrating faith and sexuality, or rebuilding after rejection.
Family & generational trauma
Shame, obligation and conflict in immigrant households.
Couples & relationships
Queer, Asian and interracial couples, in-laws, and open relationships.
Sex & intimacy
Healing sexual shame from cultural or religious norms.
ADHD & neurodiversity
Adult evaluations, coaching, and support with masking.
Parents of LGBTQ+ kids
Culturally responsive support, in English or Korean.
My approach
Deep, respectful curiosity about the parts of your story no one asked about.
My work is systemic, relational and trauma-informed, grounded in justice and liberation frameworks. We name the untold, silenced parts of your life, so you can tell your story and own it.
