Welcome! I am the owner and licensed clinical social worker at Embracing Possibility Counseling, PLLC based in Minnesota. I believe that life challenges provide an opportunity to know ourselves better. You are not defined by what has happened to you. You have the power to choose what to hold on to, and what is worth letting go of. Let me help you unlearn the coping mechanisms that no longer serve you and start healing. I specialize in providing services for adults in treating Childhood Emotional Neglect (CEN). CEN is not only caused by the "bad" things that happened to us growing up; it's also the absence of "good" things that should have happened! I help clients gain more understanding of themselves, particularly how their childhood experiences impact them today. Together we will work on changing various patterns in your life that may be causing pain or suffering, and explore how the past may be keeping you from moving forward. Additionally, I am a daughter of immigrants. This perspective informs my approach and understanding of issues surrounding transgenerational trauma, cultural identity, and family conflicts. I also provide therapy in the Hmong language. While I strive to create a safe and empathetic place to share your innermost thoughts, feelings, and fears, I will also challenge you. I hope that from our work, you will feel empowered to make meaningful changes in your life.
