My work focuses on making sense of what feels complex, placing it into words, and meaningful action. This can include struggling to balance personal wants and expectations of others, conflict due to living in dual cultures, trauma from substance abuse, racism, or worry and sadness. I provide therapy that is conversational with feedback, humor, curiosity, and partnership. The work we do together will consider all sociopolitical factors, community, beliefs, abilities, and all that is inherently important and has impacted you because who you are and what you need, reaches beyond your emotions.

Relationships are not only inevitable in our lives but extremely impactful to our well being, especially the ones we have with ourselves and our sense of community. Being a therapist allows me to learn about navigating the complexity of relationships and supporting others in having healthier ones, while also being a validating presence for those who may feel disconnected in most places.

I have been a gamer since I was a kid. Some of my favorite franchises are Zelda, Bioshock, and The Last of Us. I also weight lift, am always on the look out for a new restaurant to try, and put together the occasional Lego set.

My bedtime routine is the coziest part of my day. It helps me wind down to do my skincare and put my pjs. It is completely for me and guarantees I get alone time.

I have a wonderfully chaotic cat named Ripley (named after Ellen Ripley). I rescued her when she was 2 months old. During one of her first days home, I couldn't find her for hours and worried that she may have ran outside. Turns out she just pulled out all the tissues from a tissue box in the closet and decided to take a long nap.
