Sometimes therapy can feel a little too formal. I value candid communication—come as you are. Whether you're grieving a loss, sharing a trauma, opening up about intimacy, or breaking relational cycles, they’re part of your life, and you deserve to share how you’ve experienced them. I'm here to support your lived experience and, at the same time, challenge stories or beliefs to promote understanding, accountability, and growth. Let us be weird, laugh, rage, cry and sit in stillness. Let us be human in a world that forgets that we are. You are multifaceted and unique, I want to make sure your therapy experience that reflects that.

I'm a queer, Korean/European, neurodivergent, adopted femme. I'm a Cap sun, Aquarius moon, and Sag rising. I'm an advocate for social justice, inclusivity, and cultural competency. I proudly support LGBTQIA+, polyamory, kink, neurodivergence, sex workers, all bodies, plural systems, littles, and furry identities. I stand with Palestine, and BLM. Anti-ICE!
