In our sessions together, my goal as a counselor is to create a safe space for you to feel empowered to be real and raw with who you are and your human experience. My intention is for my clients to always leave feeling heard and accepted through a non-judgmental lens. 

As a first-generation immigrant and daughter of immigrants, I understand the nuanced experience of straddling multiple cultures and how this can shape one’s sense of identity, belonging, and self-worth. I support individuals in exploring their cultural identity, navigating life transitions, and healing from complex and developmental trauma. While I specialize in working with adults, I welcome clients from diverse backgrounds and life experiences. My approach is trauma-informed and grounded in deep respect for each person’s unique story. In our work together, we may also explore challenges such as self-esteem, body image, and the desire for a more embodied, connected sense of self.

My client focus

I am a student and teacher of yoga who aims to help individuals find union between their mind and body. With my background in multiple styles of yoga, I am a firm believer that there is no right or wrong way to practice or exist in this world. Because everybody is different, my approach is person-centered, culturally aware, and always tailored to your unique needs. My counseling style aligns with mindfulness based modalities such as Acceptance and Commitment Therapy, Internal Family Systems, and Somatic Experiencing. It’s also important for me that you know that I fully embrace the Health at Every Size and body liberation movement in my counseling space. Aside from talk therapy, I offer therapeutic yoga for those interested in diving into a more holistic way of healing. 

I recognize that everyone is on different journeys and I strive to create a space for you to get to know how you’re showing up in your life and if how you’re showing up is in alignment with your values. Whether you find this through talk therapy or yoga, together we will work to create an embodied and meaningful life that you are proud of.
