I'm a proud Bay Area native, and deeply influenced by the many years spent as a part of this dynamic and engaged community of teachers, healers, activists, and creatives of all sorts. Being the first child of an immigrant parent and raised in a bi-cultural family, I also have keen perspective and understanding of the issues related to assimilation, dislocation, and loss, and the development of a blended cultural, spiritual, and ethnic identity.

I have been a therapist for two decades now. I’m constantly inspired by humans’ innate capacity for growth and evolution, and so humbled by the depths of the struggles and burdens we carry. My work is to support your navigations along this divide— offering care and tenderness to places of pain, while bringing attention and celebration to areas of expansion.

The late great Audre Lorde famously stated in 1988, “Caring for myself is not self-indulgence, it is self-preservation, and that is an act of political warfare.” During such oppressive and confusing times, our practices of caring for ourselves link directly to our ability to live fully and in alignment with our values and beliefs. The more fortified we are as individuals, the better able we become to bring love and strength to our resistance, and to maintain compassion and tolerance for one another. Therapy is one of many paths to care for yourself. I’d be honored to support you on your journey.
