Special interest in immigration/re-entry adjustment stressors. Bring lived experience of growing up outside the United States. Born in Asia, and raised in Western and Eastern Canada, before immigrating for the second time in my life as an adult to California. Immigration in particular is a process I have been very personally affected by. Both times as a newcomer, despite going through the legal process, is a unique kind of stressor. This experience has shaped both my personal and professional perspectives on relocation, integration, and community connection.
I am an LMFT in California, Massachusetts, and Virginia. Registered Out of State Telehealth Provider for Florida and Vermont.
