Get to Know Me

I aim to provide a safe, non-judgmental space, empathetic/active listening as a compassionate presence and witness to see you, hear you, and meet you where you are in your human condition. My hope is to inspire your inner compassionate healer to go through your current circumstance as it brings you a greater sense of peace, meaning and purpose. 

​

As an Asian American woman, I have a personal understanding of how to successfully navigate multicultural systems, especially those of Eastern/Western combined backgrounds. A rich full life experience as a classical musician/artist before mid-life, helps inform my service with added empathetic capacity.​

I wish you beauty, healing and recovery, and ultimately a celebration of all that is in store for you in your unique personal journey. Looking forward to being of service to you.
