Hi there, I’m Elsa (she/her). I’m a second generation (first generation of my family born in the US) Taiwanese-American. I was born and raised in North Texas but have had the privilege of living briefly in California and Illinois. I’ve learned a lot through my time spent with so many people from different walks of life, and it has taught me to see the world with an open and accepting mind. Trauma work is my first love, but my personal experiences make me passionate about helping those with ethnic minority identities in the US and collectivistic cultures navigate life. Mostly, I really love helping anyone create the balance in their life that they're looking for. I've worked in a variety of settings from nonprofits to doctors' offices, and very little fazes me. Nothing is taboo to talk about in my therapy office!
