  • First-generation experiences

  • Grief and emotional adjustment

Personal Life

Born and raised in Oakland, California, Hanh moved to Portland, Oregon as a teen where she helped organize and advocated for implementing culturally appropriate ethnic studies courses in Portland Public Schools. Her lived experiences growing up in a low-income immigrant family continue to shape her values and approach to counseling.

Outside of therapy, Hanh enjoys:

  • Watching and dissecting horror movies

  • Arts and crafts

  • Spending time with her dog, Tofu, and cat, Margot

  • Listening to audiobooks

As a Student Intern, Hanh accepts OHP through Health Share/Care Oregon or Self-Pay on a reduced-rate sliding scale ($10 to $50 per session) and sees clients as openings occur.
