It’s nice to meet you!

I’ve dedicated my career to supporting people as they navigate emotional, medical, and life transitions. People deserve to feel heard and receive support that is responsive to their developmental stage, culture, and lived experience.

Much of my work has centered on helping adolescents and young adults move through uncertainty — whether that comes from illness, loss, identity development, or major life changes. Before opening my private practice, I worked in community and medical settings, both in the US and abroad. Overseas, I focused on educational development throughout Asia, while back in the US, I spent time supporting youth aging out of foster care, unaccompanied refugee minors adjusting to life in a new country, and young people and families navigating cancer treatment. I later helped build comprehensive psychosocial programs for patients ages 15 to 39 in large medical systems. Across these roles, I saw firsthand how deeply people benefit from having a steady, thoughtful space to process what they’re carrying, whether that’s grief, tough transitions, or difficult decision-making.

All of these experiences shape how I show up in the therapy room. I listen closely for story, meaning, and the parts of life that can be hard to put into words. I always bring a culturally responsive lens to my work, recognizing how identity, family systems, and larger social structures influence mental health.

Above all, my goal in private practice is simple: to create a space where you feel understood, supported, and empowered as you navigate whatever is in front of you.
