hi, I’m Linh

(they/them)

I am a bilingual Vietnamese-Teochew immigrant and a queer neurodivergent person. These identities inform how I make sense of the world as well as how I approach therapy.

I understand that we are complex beings with unique intersections of privileged and oppressive identities that impact the way we act and respond to others. I will actively co-create with you a space to track your day-to-day automatic responses to distress and joy, unpack beliefs and experiences stored in your body, and reconnect with what fills up your cup. I will consciously take into consideration the systemic and historical contexts that impact your life, including the experiences of those who come before you. I will place the utmost care into our therapeutic relationship and will check in with you to ensure we are on the same page in terms of your goals and progress.
