About

We listen, act, and transform

My brain and I have a complicated relationship. Hi, I'm Linh, an LMFT in California with some lived experience of my own. If your brain also refuses to follow the rules, or life's thrown you some curveballs, you're in good company here. I work with teens and adults navigating trauma, anxiety, relationships, ADHD, and LGBTQ+ identity. I use EMDR, ACT, and somatic work to help things click, not just make sense on paper. Together we'll build practical skills you can use in real life. My mission is to help my community find strength and awareness, and to help you find the power you already have. If you're tired, overwhelmed, or just done pretending you're fine, you're not too much and you're not alone. I offer virtual sessions on weekdays, anywhere in California, and accept CalOptima, LA Care, and other medi-cal plans along with a sliding scale, because healing shouldn't depend on your bank account. Wherever you're starting from, you're welcome here, exactly as you are.
