About me
My name is Kaede (no pronouns/Kaede). I am an Asian American, queer, neurodivergent, non-binary trans person, with experience of migration. I have a Master's in Clinical Psychology, and was raised in a working-class family in a predominantly white-christian environment. I myself am agnostic and spiritual.
I am in the continuous and humbling process of unlearning, relearning and uncolonizing my own ways of understanding, knowing, feeling and being. I promise to hold space with and for nuance; for complexity, creativity, lived experiences and embodied/other ways of knowing and being. Your truth, your agency and your choice always at the center.

Approach
My work is anchored in trauma-informed, intersectional, queer care with a power critical lens. Together, we aim to engage with the roots of what comes up, not just the symptoms. In this way, care is individualized, deeply human, and inherently political. Specifically, I use systems-, parts-, and compassion-focused approaches to help support our understandings of how we function, why we do so, and create more room/capacity for choice and empowerment. I welcome those with multiple marginalized identities (e.g., queer and migrant, racialized and neurodivergent), in particular, to work with me through these deeply powerful processes of connection, care, and tender being.
