My Story
Life is beautiful and precious, but it can also be challenging at times. Navigating this journey we call life, may sometimes feel overwhelming or lonely. My commitment is to provide a safe and open space for anyone seeking support in their journey and to work collaboratively toward wellness.
Through my own experience as a transracial adoptee, I have grappled with a sense of identity and my place in this world. In counseling, I offer connection and safety - to be seen, to be heard, to be known - wherein the unfolding of your life experiences will be met with compassion toward growth, understanding, and healing.
​
My work is based on a client-centered, wellness perspective, as I believe each person is the expert of their own life. Together, we can navigate the challenging issues life may bring and continue toward a path of growth and healing. I provide counseling for individuals from late adolescence to late adulthood, through a culturally sensitive and trauma-informed perspective. Though I strive to support anyone, my work has centered around: relational trauma/C-PTSD, anxiety, depression, life transitions, identity formation, parenting issues, adoption, and supporting those who identify with LGBTQIA+ community.

My person-centered counseling approach is influenced by Cognitive-Behavioral Therapy, Acceptance & Commitment Therapy, Mindfulness Practice, Somatic Therapy.
