About My Clients

I know what its like to be in your shoes: constantly doubting yourself, not feeling good enough, overwhelmed. Starting therapy can feel vulnerable, especially if you experienced childhood trauma and haven't always felt accepted for who you are. I specialize in family of origin issues, childhood trauma, and the transition to adulthood. Let me help you feel better. LGBTQIA+ folks seeking support or are looking for a provider to help with letter-writing, I am especially here for you.

My Background and Approach

I am a trauma therapist focused on reducing your suffering. I use a range of modalities to help you feel understood and safe. I am trained in EMDR, a technique that supports healing for many types of trauma. I use EMDR with both teens and adults, tailoring it to fit each individual’s developmental needs. I often integrate Internal Family Systems (IFS) based techniques, along with somatic (body-based) approaches.

My Personal Beliefs and Interests

​ ​ I am committed to a therapy approach that is culturally-informed, body-neutral, LGBTQIA+ and neurodiverse-affirming. My own anger towards oppressive systems helps to motivate me to continue to learn how I can dismantle stigma and bias in the therapy space. This is personally important to me as a first-generation child of immigrants. Together, we can explore how larger societal systems might be contributing to what you feel today.
