I believe we are created for connection yet shame often convinces us that we are unworthy, unlovable, or incapable. Our past shapes how we think, feel, and respond in the present and our thought patterns can make life feel heavy and overwhelming. I work primarily with children, adolescents and young adults navigating depression, anxiety, trauma, and neurodevelopmental challenges. As eldest daughter of immigrant parents, I also understand how cultural expectations and family dynamics shape identity, relationships, and emotional well-being.

I blend cognitive behavioral therapies such as Exposure Response Prevention (ERP) with mindfulness-based therapies like Acceptance and Commitment (ACT) and Dialectical Behavior ( DBT) therapy, integrating meditation and yoga practices depending on your unique situation, preferences, and goals.
If OCD, anxiety, minority stress, or an eating disorder is steering the wheel, please know you don’t have to keep riding alone. As a queer therapist, I understand the unique layers these struggles hold for people in the LGBTQ+ community. Maybe you’re battling racing thoughts, compulsions, identity challenges, or disordered eating. You might replay conversations, overly double-check, or fight oppressive systems. You seek clarity and relief: to feel at ease in your mind and at home in your skin. To embrace and express your whole self without shame. To live an authentic life rooted in what matters—and I’m here to guide you there.
