ABOUT

Growing up in San Francisco to immigrant parents and grandparents from Hong Kong, I experienced life in the “in-between” of two differing cultures and societies. I often reckoned with my identity and experience, trying to create a “third” culture that felt encapsulating and real. As a younger kid, I always thought that I was “not like the other boys” at school, and soon identified as gay when I came across the dictionary definition during the birth of Internet Explorer in the 90s. Navigating through my culture and identity has allowed me to develop a nuanced and dynamic understanding of the culture, community, and society that surrounds us.

Throughout my time in San Francisco and New York, I worked in a wide range of creative, business corporate, and freelancing roles. I believe my childhood, my experience working in New York and in the fashion industry, and my time working within community mental health organizations have allowed me to develop a unique, pragmatic, and individualized approach to my work as a therapist. I enjoy incorporating inspiration from my interests, such as books, philosophy, astrology, art, movies, and TV, to help bring therapy to life.
