Examples include: Unpacking fatphobia specific to the Asian-American community in a culture that celebrates Eurocentric standards Understanding how executive functioning can affect food-related tasks, how intuitive eating has never fit, and the relationship between thinness and masking in autistic and ADHD clients Exploring how body image and gender dysphoria can seem like a never-ending loop I also work with folks who have experienced harm through traditional eating disorder therapy or higher levels of care. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/62b61ae80c61873bb9cce929/fd34f842-5a32-4bca-8f66-3b1c4413dc3e/unsplash-image-xhZNzObQXe4.jpg Specialties | Bloom in Adversity Therapy - Neurodivergent, Queer, and BIPOC therapy - neurodivergent-affirming therapy I provide neurodivergent-affirming therapy, and specialize in late-discovered autistic, ADHD, and AuDHD adults navigating the grief of the life they might have had with understanding instead of shame. I attend to how neurodivergence intersects with other marginalized identities, compounding shame while limiting access to accommodations and support. Therapy can help make sense of your experiences to build kinder, more sustainable ways of living. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/62b61ae80c61873bb9cce929/52843a40-e34b-4f22-83c6-b7dc581047f3/unsplash-image-0P2EQ2HXeEY.jpg Specialties | Bloom in Adversity Therapy - Neurodivergent, Queer, and BIPOC therapy - therapy for bipoc folks I work with BIPOC clients, with a particular focus on Asian-Americans, and first and second generation immigrants. Clients I support are navigating overt and micro-aggressions, intergenerational trauma, emotional dysregulation in their families, and overwhelming guilt rooted in filial piety and parentification. My work also encourages awareness of Asian-American identity in relationship to Black, Brown, and Indigenous communities. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/62b61ae80c61873bb9cce929/205ed8ef-47c6-4f4e-a8b9-7d7221f574b3/unsplash-image-NMLv5HQZnK4.jpg Specialties | Bloom in Adversity Therapy - Neurodivergent, Queer, and BIPOC therapy - therapy for queer and trans folks I provide queer-affirming therapy, especially for queer and trans folks who discovered their identities later in life, after growing up in environments where their exploration was stifled to stay safe. Many of my clients grew up in conservative or hetero- and cis-normative environments, and therapy can help explore queer expression and question labels (or not) at your own pace. Particular areas of interest include how gender and body image blend, and intersectional queer identities. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/62b61ae80c61873bb9cce929/b20647c2-cad7-460b-9f67-59879f7a531f/unsplash-image-fuBtmNm6Uac.jpg Specialties | Bloom in Adversity Therapy - Neurodivergent, Queer, and BIPOC therapy - parenting and reparenting therapy Parenting and reparenting in the context of neurodivergence is often accompanied by competing needs, low spoons, and the constant feeling of playing catch-up. “Parent culture” and expectations can feel like they’re just not for you, or feeling the constant dread of potentially doing something wrong. Parenting therapy addresses compounded generational shame and the impact of growing up without accommodation. I utilize IFS-informed parts work and narrative therapy approaches to support more compassionate parenting for you and your children. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/62b61ae80c61873bb9cce929/1b30cba6-ca7d-4482-8fa6-b12cbbc604f1/unsplash-image-8HknSpvc1CU.jpg Specialties | Bloom in Adversity Therapy - Neurodivergent, Queer, and BIPOC therapy - grief therapy and attachment therapy Grief is not only about death, but about the loss of lives we didn’t get to live, for example: The shame you may have resisted had you been diagnosed as neurodivergent earlier The relationships and understanding that could have been, had there been more space for queer acceptance Clients can explore disenfranchised or disregarded grief and attachment injury, often after relational harm. Sometimes folks say that they recognize their own reactions and no longer feel like themselves. Therapy focuses on clarifying what hurt without minimizing it, and slowly rebuilding trust in your perceptions, feelings, and responses. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/62b61ae80c61873bb9cce929/f49eb03d-f4d9-46af-94b9-33dfc34b1b0c/unsplash-image-KMsF8jKESGY.jpg Specialties | Bloom in Adversity Therapy - Neurodivergent, Queer, and BIPOC therapy - perinatal and postpartum therapy The perinatal and postpartum period can bring about struggles such as difficulty bonding with your baby, sensing it’s more than just “baby blues”, and regret about becoming a parent. My own experience with a painful pregnancy, and then feeling so lonely and isolated through severe postpartum depression led me to seek advanced psychotherapy training through Postpartum Support International. I specialize in infant feeding challenges, breastfeeding/chestfeeding and nursing challenges, and perinatal and postpartum body image concerns. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/62b61ae80c61873bb9cce929/6365ad06-9ec7-4a45-beca-2eb68d175ae8/unsplash-image-0mhP3B1WVkE.jpg Specialties | Bloom in Adversity Therapy - Neurodivergent, Queer, and BIPOC therapy - other areas of interest: Polyamory and non-monogamy Therapy for high-performing athletes, particularly dancers, powerlifters, bodybuilders, gymnasts and racquet sport athletes Kink-affirming therapy Relationship dissolution and breakup therapy Therapy for burnt out academic high achievers OCD therapy
