MAYBE YOU’RE WONDERING IF…
…You're performing being “fine” rather than actually being fine
…You code-switch so often you've lost track of who you really are
IMAGINE WHAT IT MIGHT BE LIKE TO…
…Trust your embodied reactions rather than second-guessing them
…Belong in your body, not just occupy it
There’s no single right way to heal.
What matters is what you're actually experiencing:
your body, your emotions, your history, your cultures, your contexts.
All of these parts of yourself contain great wisdom.
My work, in therapy and in supervision, is helping you remember, re-trust, and reintegrate what you already carry.
The practice, at a glance
My approach
Body first, always
Sensation, breath, and movement aren't add-ons to talk therapy; they open doors that talking alone just can’t reach.
Culture and context included
As your race, culture, identity, and history are always in the room with you, they’ll be part of the work—not separate from it.
Support that grows with you
Whether you're in therapy or in supervision, the work is about building capacity you carry forward, not just managing a moment.
The kanji character 身 (shin) means “body” and the character 心 (kokoro) means “heart, mind, spirit.” Both share the reading “shin”—hence “shin shin.”
In Japanese culture, mind and body have long been understood as inherently connected rather than being separate. Putting 身 (body) first reflects my therapeutic belief that the body isn't secondary; rather, that it's where understanding and healing so often begins.
