Praxis Counsel is the culmination of a lifelong labor of love. After over 20 years working as an organizer and later as a public interest attorney, I wanted to open a firm that also explicitly provides support for those of us who are advocates and are multiply marginalized.

I am a second generation immigrant and settler of Thai and Irish descent. I grew up in working class Lowell, Massachusetts—where I proudly am again based after two decades of organizing and lawyering across the United States. I am firmly pro-labor and initiated union organizing at my current legal services workplace—where colleagues ultimately secured a ratified collective bargaining agreement with increased wages for all.

I am also a recent cancer survivor, and a demi/gray ace woman of color living with chronic asthma & allergies. I center my approach through an intersectional disability justice framework, and prioritize consent and accessibility in all of my collaborations.

All too often, our identities and life experiences are not directly centered/enough in receiving the holistic support we need—including those of us working in the legal and public sectors. And this lack of alignment and ongoing systemic extraction can perpetuate ongoing burnout. I get it, and I am here to help.

I am committed to providing trauma-informed and culturally competent services to all of my clients. The heart of our work together focuses on how to go beyond the ideas—and put them into practice and action.

I focus on the big picture while being detail-oriented, and love to think outside the box with clients—all through a critical thinking lens that is rooted in liberatory and decolonial practices.

We are living in accelerating times. Let’s work together in creating an alternative vision—that transcends into a new, actualized future.
