About My Clients

Most of my clients seek help with depression, long-term and acute trauma, anxiety, or a combination of any of these. You may not even be sure how to describe the way you’re feeling, and that’s OK. Once you share what you’ve been experiencing and want help with, I’ll work with you to focus on what’s causing your pain and find a path forward. I know each person is different and treatments are not one-size-fits-all.

My Background and Approach

I have worked at a VA, for US Probation, two college counseling sites, and at Kaiser. At all these different sites, I have had the honor and privilege of working with diverse groups of people. In treating diverse populations, I have learned that evidence-based treatment must be tailored to the individual and the unique context each person comes from. I will approach therapy with you from a lens of curiosity and compassion and work with you to accomplish goals important to you.

My Personal Beliefs and Interests

I’m the only child of a single mother who immigrated to the United States in order to have more rights and a better future. I grew up below the poverty line and saw firsthand how systemically Black and brown people were discriminated against. I stand with the LGBTQ+ community and Black Lives Matter. I believe apartheid is never justified and Palestinians should be free. I love reading sci-fi and fantasy. I love watching basketball, anime, and highly-rated shows/movies.
