As a multiethnic, multicultural woman of color, child of an immigrant, and trauma-informed associate clinical social worker with a background in gender studies, I approach my work with an intersectional lens. I consider the whole human being as well as the various systems they are part of and the effect these systems have on a person’s life. It is important to me that I am mindful of how my client perceives the world and how the world perceives them. As a trauma-informed yoga instructor, I also consider how emotions can show up somatically.
I am warm, playful, and nurturing. I will gently challenge my clients when it is appropriate and helpful to the process. My therapeutic approach is anti-racist, anti-oppressive, culturally affirming, queer-affirming, kink-affirming, and client-centered. In my practice, I adapt to the client’s unique needs and enjoy being creative with therapy.
Everyone heals differently, and that is why it can be incredibly transformative to have a mental health professional hold space in a way that allows you to feel safe enough to express yourself openly and with raw honesty. If my words align with you, I invite you to contact me so we can set up your free consultation. Looking forward to hearing from you!

I especially love facilitating expressive arts interventions to encourage deeper self-exploration. Art is a powerful way for folks who may not have the verbal language to express themselves to do so using colors, shapes, movement, and more. Complexity and nuance can be expressed through art without limitations.
