Welcome! I enjoy helping clients explore their identities and experiences in more depth in order to integrate more adaptive ways to heal from past wounds and live a more intentional and fulfilling life. In our work together, my goal is to help you cultivate greater awareness, identify and discard unhelpful patterns, and create new avenues of change. Therapy with me is a dynamic, collaborative, and slowed down process that acts as a container to safely explore and metabolize pain in a new way. My areas of specialty include trauma, OCD, addiction, marginalized identities, and cultural issues.

My orientation is primarily informed by a relational and attachment-based framework, meaning I believe that our early life experiences can profoundly shape our ways of thinking, feeling, and relating. I am trained to conceptualize problems from a trauma-informed and culturally sensitive lens, with an emphasis in upholding anti-racist and LGBTQIA+ affirming practices. During my clinical traineeship at USC, I helped low-income, first-generation students and families navigate a wide range of issues, including anxiety, depression, academic stressors, identity development, and parenting challenges. I also have two years of experience working with high-risk individuals at a substance abuse treatment center in the intensive outpatient and partial hospitalization settings. Currently, I am providing outpatient therapy in private practice and enjoy working with AAPI-identifying folks, especially immigrants and children of immigrants. My style is both personalized and holistic, as I adapt my approach to each client’s unique needs while focusing on the whole person and the systems they are embedded in. I deeply value the importance of our therapeutic relationship and aim to intentionally co-create a space where you feel safe, accepted, and understood.
