I primarily work with adults within the BIPOC and 2SQTPOC community, with a focus on members of the Asian diaspora. I support individuals in exploring the highly masked or unstoried parts - both individual and inherited, known and unknown - and gently invite opportunities to tend, restore, strengthen, and reclaim. Our personal and collective histories matter and the impact of oppression is real. I approach healing with a critical framework, grief-informed attachment lens, and a relational stance. The BIPOC (and Asian-American) community is expansive and we hold so many experiences.

I provide therapy working with minorities including BIPOC and LGBTQ+ communities including adolescents, young adults, and adoptive families. I specialize in brainspotting, exposure and response prevention, and play therapy when working with anxiety, depression, trauma, OCD, and ADHD. In addition, I use a compassionate lens to create more understanding for these parts of ourselves.
