Hi, my name is Steph (LCSW CA 127453; LICSW DC LC200003288). I’m a second generation Taiwanese-American and Washington, D.C. native. I’m passionate about supporting folks slow down and connect with their embodied selves. In session, this often looks like discovering how our bodies respond to and communicate with us, exploring systems & beliefs we find ourselves unconsciously responding from, and tending to areas of stuckness we encounter between our minds & bodies.

If you find yourself feeling stuck translating what you know into how you feel, we might be a great fit. Many of my clients identify as self-aware individuals who experience a disconnect between their rational and emotional selves. They may have years of therapy under their belt, or none at all, yet find themselves frustrated around being able to move through difficult emotions and experiences.

Those of us who grew up in spaces absent from emotional language often find ourselves at a loss with where to start in this work. The idea of ‘taking care’ of ourselves can feel foreign and oftentimes selfish in relation to what we’ve learnt to prioritize and invest in. If you find yourself here, know that you’re not alone. It takes courage to seek support, particularly in a space that feels new. Together, let’s get curious about all that you’ve been holding onto, and discover what coming back to your authentic and chosen self looks like.

If this sounds aligned with your needs, or you’re still wondering whether we could be a good fit, I’d be happy to meet with you for a complimentary 15-minute consultation session.
