Somatic Psychotherapy
In the face of societal pressures and existential stress, it’s easy to feel disconnected from who you are and what truly matters. Therapy offers a space to slow down, re-member, and honor your natural pull towards greater alignment, thus unfurling a more meaningful and liberatory existence. Together we could gently meet the parts of you that are asking to be understood, integrating them back into the dynamic wholeness of who you are.
My style is down-to-earth, collaborative, and direct. I see you as the expert of your experience, and myself as an attuned, curious ally as we explore how your mind-body continuum organizes, protects, and responds to the world around you. By gently guiding your awareness into present-moment bodily sensations, we can access the deeper wisdom within and safely process any backlogged trauma stored within your nervous system.
Learning to be present in our bodies is a powerful pathway to more fully living our lives. This path isn’t always easy: discomfort, hidden pain, or old grief may surface along the way. And yet, the way out can be through, making room to reclaim your natural state of aliveness, agency, and wonder. I hold a grounded, trauma-responsive space to honor and support this deep psycho-emotional transformation.
Adult individuals, relationship dyads, and family/group constellations. I am currently only accepting virtual clients.
While my door is open to anyone who feels called to this work, I bring particular passion and nuanced care to:
Diasporic & Immigrant Experiences: Navigating the complexities of cultural belonging, displacement, intergenerational dynamics, and living between worlds.
LGBTQIA+ Community: Providing queer- and trans-affirming therapy that honors your identity, relationships, and lived reality without needing to explain or justify yourself.
Artists, Creatives, Healers & Activists: Supporting the visionaries, movers, and organizers carrying big visions—balancing creative output and social change with deep self-nourishment.
High Achievers Moving Through Burnout: Helping perfectionists, over-functioners, and high performers unlearn relentless pressure, redefine self-worth, and reclaim rest.
Spiritual Seekers: Welcoming those with a spiritual bent, whether you are integrating deep experiences, exploring personal meaning, or unlearning rigid dogma.
Life Transitions: Holding grounded space as you navigate career pivots, relationship evolutions, loss, or major personal identity shifts.
Ultimately, you do not need to fit neatly into a specific box to be here. If what you read on this page resonates, you are warmly invited to reach out for a consultation.
Discovering Your True North: Clarify your deepest core values and what matters most to you, using them as a grounding guide for the direction you’re headed.
Unpacking Suffering with Compassion: Gently explore the root causes of pain, shame, and self-doubt with curiosity rather than judgment, allowing space for genuine healing.
Making Room for All of Your Experience: Safely meet and process the subtle layers of your inner world—emotions, body sensations, memories, and dreams—that are ready to be integrated.
Strengthening Communication & Intimacy: Build emotional literacy and clear expression, helping you cultivate deeper authenticity and connection with yourself and others.
Understanding the Holism of What’s Shaped You: Honor how your unique life experiences and social context—including family history, culture, and systemic influences—have shaped your perspective and choices.
Breaking Free from Default Patterns: Expand your options for navigating life’s pressures, stepping beyond old habits, trauma responses, and conditioned beliefs into intentional, meaningful action.

About infinity
I’m a somatic psychotherapist (they/them) of Chinese Hakka ancestry. I support clients in gently identifying and unlearning stuck unconscious patterns, while reconnecting with embodied ways of being that have long been marginalized or disrupted.
My practice is shaped by my own ongoing healing journey and over a decade of study at the intersection of trauma healing, expanded states of consciousness, the collective psyche, and the body. I’m especially interested in how personal, cultural, and historical conditioning lives in our nervous systems, and how meeting these patterns with compassion can restore a greater sense of choice, dignity, and belonging—within ourselves and the wider web of life.
I bring love, curiosity, rigor, and humor to my work with clients as I walk alongside their unique journeys of exploring how to live well, love well, and die well.
I received a Master of Arts degree in Integral Counseling Psychology from the California Institute of Integral Studies (CIIS), additional training at Pierce Street Integral Counseling Center and Center for Mindful Psychotherapy, and am comprehensively trained in Hakomi Mindful Somatic Psychotherapy. I have studied somatic bodywork with teachers of the generative somatics (gs) and Strozzi Institute lineages.
My current studies involve a deepening into ancestral wisdom traditions and include Chinese medicine psychiatry and Daoist martial + healing arts.
I find joy in attuning to the seasons (inner and outer); practicing martial arts and archery; making things (such as food, medicine, carved Chinese seals, pottery, pigments); connecting and scheming with community; cultivating interspecies friendships; reveling in the fractal nature of the universe; and always learning.
