About My Clients
I help individuals, couples, and activists -- especially BIPOC and children of immigrants -- navigate anxiety, burnout, grief, and conflict through a culturally affirming, trauma-informed, anti-oppressive, and liberatory approach. We are living in challenging times and life can feel overwhelming. I strive to create a brave and supportive space to help my clients process hard things, nurture strengths and community, and feel empowered to cultivate a fulfilling and joyful life.
My Background and Approach
Therapy with me is warm, collaborative, and deeply relational. I encourage curiosity, humor, and reflection in sessions. I strive to cultivate a strong therapeutic alliance and create a brave and supportive space where you feel safe to be yourself. Together, we'll go through the process of learning and unlearning, discovering your true self, healing past traumas, and challenging yourself to grow. We’ll begin with a conversation about what brings you to therapy and where you are in your journey. I may ask you questions about your background and cultural identity, support system, interests, coping skills, thought patterns and behaviors, and more. I believe that you are the expert on your own life and as your therapist, I am a companion and guide.
My Personal Beliefs and Interests
I am a therapist and I am also a community organizer, social worker, and restorative practices facilitator. I have over a decade of professional experience as a nonprofit leader, advocating for youth, community power, mental health, workers’ rights, and alternatives to incarceration. I am passionate about psychoeducation and bridging the micro and macro, balancing individual and community healing with the importance of understanding the systems and environments around us that continue to cause harm. I love animals and have a dog, a cat, and two chickens. I’m an avid reader and amateur sewist. I’m most at peace in the mountains and love camping, hiking, and anything outdoors. All my life I have loved being a big sister, a role rivaled only by my new love of being an auntie to three nephews.
