I see primarily BIPOC and make space to explore the impact of oppressive systems on identity. I have a special interest in mixed/multiracial people, transracial and transnational adoptees, and Queer & Trans BIPOC. My clinical specialty is complex trauma and dissociation for adults 18+, so I refer to other therapists for children, families, and couples.

I am a county social work supervisor who specializes in ongoing Child Protection. I work in both individual and group settings to support workers in the community and parents interacting with the Child Welfare system. Each family system brings with their own strengths and areas to grow; it’s my work to walk alongside workers and families through their Child Protection journey. Ensuring that it is a respectful and uplifting experience.

The focus of my practice is working with children 1-18 years of age in foster care or that have been adopted and/or trauma focused treatment with children and their families. I am trained in Trauma Focused Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (TF-CBT), the ARC model (Attachment, Regulation and Competency), Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing (EMDR), Dialectical Behavioral Therapy (DBT), sand tray therapy and Polyvagal theory and am currently in training for Child Parent Psychotherapy (CPP).

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.
