Bio
   I believe therapy can help us deepen our understanding of ourselves—our values, passions, emotions, and thoughts. It can also help us cultivate self-respect and self-compassion while learning to distinguish accountability from blame. Therapy should be a safe space where we can challenge ourselves with curiosity and care. Engaging in this process takes courage and vulnerability, and I deeply value the trust my clients place in me as I accompany them on their emotional and mental health journeys.
   As an immigrant and queer professional, I am especially committed to supporting members of the LGBTQIA2S+ community, immigrants, survivors of trauma and harm, and individuals navigating grief and loss.
   I provide client-centered and empowering care, working collaboratively with clients as they move toward their goals. My practice is grounded in trauma-informed, accessibility-focused, strengths-based, and intersectional frameworks. I strive to create a therapeutic environment where clients feel respected, affirmed, and supported.
   Outside of my practice, I enjoy reading, cooking, swimming, and watching movies and TV shows. Whenever possible, I also prioritize traveling and spending meaningful time with family and friends.
   Before beginning our work together, we will meet for a free virtual consultation, typically lasting 15–30 minutes. This conversation gives us an opportunity to get to know one another, explore your needs, discuss whether and how I may be able to support you, and address any questions and/or concerns you may have.
