About My Clients

I’m looking to work with clients who are open to actively participating in session goal-oriented and and committed to meeting weekly as part of their therapeutic journey. Collaboratively, we can treat issues that drive depression and anxiety, such as low self-esteem, perfectionism, interpersonal problems, and emotional dysregulation. Our sessions can be as structured or as relaxed as you need—they’ll flow in a way that works best for you!

My Background and Approach

I believe my background as a female of a minority race, and the daughter of immigrants helps me see individuals in a nonjudgmental space informed by a social justice lens. My upbringing, education, and work experience combine for a unique level of appreciation and understanding that helps me connect with people on a more intimate level. I work well with clients who are seeking either a supportive space for talk therapy or a more structured, skill-building approach—or a blend of both. My style integrates both methods, offering flexibility based on individual needs. I assign weekly therapy homework to encourage accountability and growth between sessions.

My Personal Beliefs and Interests

As someone who is an active ally to the LGBTQ+ community, it's important to me to support and celebrate diverse identities. I connect especially well with millennial women, particularly BIPOC women, and anyone in marginalized communities. I welcome individuals in non-monogamous or non-traditional relationships and those engaged in sex work. I recognize these as unique experiences and topics, and aim to create a safe, compassionate space for individuals within them.
