I am a first-generation HMong American womxn with a deep passion for helping others heal, grow, and thrive. Professionally, I serve as a Lead Counselor Bilingual at Amherst H. Wilder Foundation, where I provide Targeted Case Management support to individuals navigating complex mental health challenges. In addition, I am the Founder and CEO of Empowered Me LLC, a holistic wellness business dedicated to empowering individuals to find balance and clarity in their lives. As a single mother of four beautiful children—two boys and two girls—I understand the challenges and joys of balancing personal and professional life. One of my children has been diagnosed with high-functioning Autism and ADHD, which has deepened my understanding of neurodiversity and strengthened my commitment to creating inclusive, supportive environments for all. With more than 7+ years of experience in mental health, I have worked with diverse populations of children and adults managing serious and persistent mental illnesses, addictions, and autism. My educational background, including a Master’s degree in Holistic Health Studies and an addiction counseling certificate, equips me with the tools to approach mental health and addiction through a holistic and trauma-informed lens. At the core of my work is a commitment to providing safe and nurturing spaces where individuals can heal and move forward. I draw from my own personal experiences and professional expertise to guide clients in recognizing their strengths, building resilience, and uncovering pathways to hope. I am especially passionate about serving my Hmong community and others, helping them reconnect with their authentic selves and find healing through holistic practices. My goal is to inspire and empower individuals to embrace mental wellness, holistic health, and personal growth, ultimately creating a ripple effect of healing and transformation in their communities.
