I love working with BIPOC/Asian/Filipinx community, Queer folks, neurodivergent people, first-gen Americans, polyam individuals and couples, spiritual folks, and others who struggle to find that "good fit" with therapists following conventional, Western therapeutic approaches. As a BIPOC Queer woman, I have an immediate understanding of intersectional experience. I work with a “whole person” model of wellness. Together you and I can find ways to strengthen your relationships with your mind, body, spirit, emotions, and the Earth. We can do this through activities like shadow work, meditation, ancestral work, and exploring dreams.
I work with people struggling through attachment issues, childhood trauma/inner child wounds, anxiety, depression, neurodivergence, over-functioning, identity work, and systemic oppression. In my couples work, I enjoy working with intercultural, kinky, polyam, and queer folks in all kinds of areas like conflict, finances, infidelity, sex, and personality.
My role is to help you uncover your most empowered, connected, complete, and authentic self, the self who stands tall and grounded in your truth. Let’s unearth your sacred power to heal traumas, repair broken relationships, and find meaning and peace in your universe. Let’s tap into your magic.

I specialize mainly in anxiety and depression, complex trauma, neurodivergence, and attachment issues. A lot of my work also centers around the discovery of the authentic self, lifting the weight of systemic oppression on self-identity, autonomy, self-acceptance, and self-empowerment. My work is, relational, challenging, deep-diving, and is often long-term as we journey into what's under the hood.

She has a warm and clever nature that's combined with a playful and supportive energy. She's brilliant and precise with theory and in the realm of archetypes and ritual. I'm blown away by her mind and kindness, and cannot recommend her highly enough.

I'm really into attachment, psychodynamics, trauma-informed work, depth, and transcendental work. I like to integrate many models and help clients identify their experiences in as many ways as possible. What are your words to describe what is happening to you, and why do these have meaning? If you like systems like the Enneagram, astrology, or human design, we'll get along great!
