As a queer first-generation immigrant, I felt lost trying to reconcile my identities and find belonging. In finding a therapist that understood my experiences, shift started to happen. This motivated me to start my own practice centering neurodiverse, queer, and racialized voices with anti-oppression, de-colonization, and cultural awareness at the forefront. I am passionate about supporting individuals, couples, and families find a different way of being together.
I work from a culturally sensitive, trauma-informed, neurodiverse, and 2SLGBTQI+ affirming lens. My practice is relational, with trust building as the basis of our work together. I use somatic experiencing and IFS parts work to strengthen the mind-body connection and draw on creative approaches to make exploring repeating patterns easier and more playful.
If you are feeling uprooted in the face of world and life events or struggling to find belonging and connection, I am here to walk with you on your path to new possibilities and co-create a safe and affirming space. I invite you to reach out for a free consultation so we can learn more about each other.
