I am a licensed clinical social worker providing a wide array of therapeutic treatments through a trauma-informed lens. Listening to your needs non-judgmentally and supporting you in building hope, purpose, and holistic healing of both the mind and body is my consistent approach as a therapist. I am passionate about working with individuals most impacted by various forms of oppression, adversity, and exposure to trauma. Through personal and professional experience, I have also grown most comfortable working with first-generation/immigrant persons as well as those who identify within the BIPOC community.
