My Ideal Client

You might be the one who always translates yourself, across cultures, generations, or a world that feels like too much right now. My ideal clients are children of immigrants, BIPOC and LGBTQIA+ folks, neurodivergent folks, and women navigating identity and motherhood. Many come in with anxiety, depression, grief, trauma, or relationship stress, made heavier by the political climate. You don’t have to explain it all from scratch here. You can show up as you are.

My Approach to Helping

My approach is collaborative, warm, and honest. I start from a person-centered foundation, which means you are the expert on your own life and I walk alongside you. From there, I draw on Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT), Motivational Interviewing, self-compassion, and mindfulness-based practices to help you get clear on your values, make room for hard emotions, and take steps that matter to you. I work through a trauma-informed, culturally responsive, and feminist lens, so we look at how your identities, family, culture, and the world around you shape what you carry. Therapy is a place to practice: slowing down, getting curious, questioning old stories, and trying new ways of relating to yourself and others. I will be direct when it helps and gentle when you need it. You set the pace, and we build something that fits you, not a one-size-fits-all plan.

Why I Became a Therapist

Mental health wasn’t something we talked about in my community growing up, and I know I’m not the only one who grew up that way. When I went to counseling for the first time as a kid, I could feel the disconnect. Everyone kept telling me “there’s help,” but where? Was there help for me? I didn’t feel safe being vulnerable with people who didn’t get it, or didn’t want to. I began to see that this wasn’t just personal. Who gets care, who gets believed, and whose pain gets taken seriously are shaped by racism, poverty, and systems that were never built for us. That’s why I became a therapist. I want to offer care that names those realities instead of asking you to carry them alone, and I believe healing is collective, not only individual. I’m grateful to my younger self for holding on, and I’m honored to walk with you.
