As a third-culture kid, I grew up navigating opposing cultural values and beliefs. As a therapist, I approach my clients with empathy for their unique circumstances. My clients are individuals exploring their intersectional identities, multi-cultural couples working on aligning their core values, and multi-generational families looking for improved communication and mutual acceptance. My ongoing career as a working musician helps me relate to the challenges specific to the entertainment industry. I am fulfilled by helping others navigate the interpersonal power dynamics at the workplace as a person of color.
I am trained in inclusive, Feminist, LGBTQIA+ affirmative, and trauma-informed care. I have experience working with survivors of intimate partner violence and sexual assault. I draw from many strength-based and evidence-informed practices. Together, we will collaborate on customizing a blend of techniques that is the best fit for your therapeutic goals.
In therapy, we will begin by creating a safe space where you can feel empowered to explore with curiosity rather than judgment, to reclaim the trajectory of your future, and rewrite the narrative that has been imposed onto you. I am excited to accompany you on this journey. Schedule a free 15-minute video consultation to assess mutual fit.
