I am a Psychotherapist and Registered Associate Clinical Social Worker (ASW #103315) of Vietnamese ancestry, residing on the unceded land of the Ohlone people, colonially known as Oakland, California. My lived experiences of being a queer, non-binary, neuro-spicy 🌶️, 1st-generation on stolen land, person of color (global majority) navigating the world and the trauma that comes with that, has led me to the practice of healing at a young age. As I learned about intersectional oppression, I began to make sense of myself, the world and how everything is interconnected. My values for collective liberation, healing and community have led me here.
I believe that each person has the capacity and desire for personal growth, healing and change. I aim to support you in exploring the answers within yourself. My position is to guide you in uncovering awarenesses and illuminating your strengths so that you can learn to empower yourself.
I use a justice-oriented/anti-oppressive,
abolitionist, anti-imperialism, anti-capitalism, transformative + restorative justice approach, which means that I look beyond the individual and familial context, and I also encourage you to look at how community, society, systemic oppressions, and ancestry influence your lived experiences, how you understand the world and how
these systems affect our spiritual, mental, and physical health.
I received my MA in Social Work (MSW) and Pupil Personnel Services Credential (PPSC) from San Jose State University and my BA in Sociology from San Francisco State University.
I am a Registered Associate Clinical Social Worker (ASW #103315) with the Board of Behavioral Sciences (BBS).
Since 2017, I have worked with justice-involved individuals + youth in the foster system, provided psychotherapy for adolescents, intensive family work, case management, court advocacy, comprehensive needs assessments, crisis intervention, collaboration with community partners, linkages to appropriate services, and implemented re-entry and treatment plans.
For community accountability, I see a clinical supervisor for professional guidance and I am both challenged and supported by colleagues with shared values/practices.
I am supervised by Ricardo Peña, LCSW #80473.
(PRACTICING THROUGH HOLY SPIRIT COACHING & THERAPY)
We currently sit on the territory of xučyun (Huichin) and Yelamu, colonially known as Oakland and San Francisco, the ancestral and unceded land of the Chochenyo and Ramaytush Ohlone peoples. This land was and continues to be of great importance to the Muwekma Ohlone Tribe.
Please check out native-land.ca to see who the Indigenous peoples are of the land that you are on.
The Shuumi Land Tax is a voluntary annual contribution that non-Indigenous people living on the Confederated Villages of Lisjan’s territory can make to support the critical work of the Sogorea Te’ Land Trust.
The Shuumi Land Tax directly supports Sogorea Te’s work of rematriation, returning Indigenous land to Indigenous people, and building urban gardens, community centers, and ceremonial spaces so current and future generations of Indigenous people can thrive in the Bay Area. Shuumi means gift in the Ohlone language Chochenyo.
Calculate your Annual Shumi Land Tax.
Your support and contributions will enable me to serve and meet the needs of overexploited communities in the Bay Area (Ohlone Territory) through therapy, mental health support, service linkages and so on. Your generous donation will fund our mission of collective liberation.
