about me.
Hi, I’m Hannah (she/they). I’m mixed race Chinese & white in a light skinned & able body. I’m queer, deeply relational, & highly sensitive. I am an adventurer, a big feeler, a homebody, a baker, a shy extrovert, a tree hugger. I am a Licensed Clinical Social Worker and Level 2 Internal Family Systems (IFS) trained therapist and approach therapy from a place of deep care and compassion, rooted in anti-oppression and collective liberation.
I believe in the healing power of relationships where we feel truly seen.
Growing up, I was painfully shy, and learned to hide behind perfectionism, people pleasing, and caregiving for others in order to cope with really big feelings that I didn’t know what to do with. I struggled with being queer & mixed and never felt like I fit in. I was constantly at war with myself over how I ‘should’ act, which kept me from knowing my authentic wants and needs, and ultimately from finding deep relationships I craved.
My journey was (and is) messy, emotional, and at times filled with pain & rawness & vulnerability. Therapy has changed my life, radically shifting how I relate to myself and opening up how I connect with others.
My intention is to help you do the same: transform your life through transforming your relationship with yourself.
my values.
In a world filled with systemic oppression and disconnection, we must dismantle these systems both internally and externally. Therapy can be a space to heal within - I believe that this ripples outwards and impacts all we touch.
My practice is anti-racist, non-pathologizing, queer & trans-celebratory, and non-monogamy affirming. I have my own intersecting lived experiences of both privilege and oppression, and I am committed to creating a space where folks can feel safe in bringing their unique identities.
your inner wisdom.
I’m not the expert—you are. You know the experiences that made you who you are today; the emotions, sensations, and thoughts that fill your mind, soul, and body. I’m here as a partner in this process, bringing my lived experiences, training, and background in supporting people from diverse identities to help you make the changes you seek in your life.
cultivating relationship.
I am here to get to know all of you—not just the easy, charming, or 'good' parts, but also the insecurities, the inner critics, the self-saboteurs. I truly believe that each part is trying to help. When we get curious, we can discover their intentions, unlocking pain points and opening pathways to meet underlying needs. This process fosters greater awareness, integration, and harmony within.
collective liberation.
Grounding internal experiences in the external world is essential in healing. Many of our internal wounds are inflicted by systemic oppression. And, we have often internalized - and maybe even recreated - these patterns inside ourselves and our relationships. Therapy with me integrates healing from these impacts alongside your personal healing and growth.
