Hi there, I'm Rita!

As a child of the Lao/Southeast Asian refugee diaspora, my passion is working with fellow children of refugee/immigrant diasporas to feel seen + heard + understood through an anti-oppressive framework.

My focus

I am passionate about working with those who identify with the experiences of Southeast Asian Diaspora, children of refugees/immigrants, QTBIPOC communities, survivors of sexual trauma and gender-based violence, organizers/activists in social justice movements, overachievers, young people navigating transitions, grief, and/or work/life balance.

My approach

My therapeutic approach draws in a combination of mindfulness, storytelling & body-based practices to process and heal individual and collective trauma that sits in mental/emotional systems of our bodies. It is my hope that together, we can co-create an inclusive, warm, and empowering environment to assist you navigate challenging life transitions.
