About My Clients

I work best with Millennials and Gen-Z who are dealing with life transitions, breakups, perfectionism, anxiety, stress, or family challenges. My practice is especially supportive of first-generation and BIPOC communities, offering a warm, understanding approach. If you’re facing these struggles, I’m here to help you navigate them with empathy and practical strategies tailored to your needs.

My Background and Approach

With over a decade of experience in mental health, I offer a practical and empathetic approach that goes beyond traditional stuffy therapy. I’m not just here to listen; I provide direct, actionable feedback to help you tackle challenges head-on. My focus is on building your resilience and inner strength, equipping you with tools to navigate life’s ups and downs, from crafting your personal narrative to improving communication and finding calm in the chaos. This is a collaborative journey tailored to your unique needs. I hold a Master’s and Doctorate from the University of Southern California, combining academic expertise with hands-on experience to support you effectively.

My Personal Beliefs and Interests

I’m dedicated to fostering a supportive and empowering therapeutic environment where you can thrive. I believe in approaching each client with curiosity, open-mindedness, and compassion to help you lead a happier, healthier, and more fulfilling life. My practice is grounded in anti-oppressive, decolonizing, feminist, and anti-racist principles. I am committed to challenging systemic biases and ensuring that all voices are heard and respected. By integrating these values, I strive to create a space where you can explore your identity, navigate your challenges, and work towards personal growth without judgment. If these principles resonate with you, I look forward to supporting you on your journey.
