I am a licensed clinical social worker with more than a decade of experience across mental health, advocacy, and education. Before entering private practice, I worked in children and family services, anti-violence organizations, and racial justice and human rights spaces. These experiences, along with my own healing journey, inform the way I understand this work. They have deepened my appreciation for the courage it takes to seek support, the complexity of healing, and the importance of being met with empathy and respect along the way.

My work is centered around supporting people who are navigating the impact of complex and relational trauma. I believe therapy is most meaningful when it honors the person in front of me rather than asking someone to fit into a predetermined approach. My integrative, trauma-informed approach draws from EMDR, attachment theory, insight-oriented therapy, and somatic approaches to support a process that is collaborative, personalized, and grounded in connection.

As a multiracial Asian American woman, I understand that identity is layered and deeply personal. My identities influence the way I show up as a therapist and strengthen my commitment to seeing each person within the broader context of their life, including the ways family, culture, and systems of power may influence the concerns they bring to therapy.

I earned my B.A. in Psychology and Child Development from the University of San Francisco and my Master of Social Work from New York University. I have advanced training in Attachment-Focused Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing (AF-EMDR), Internal Family Systems (IFS), Emotionally Focused Therapy (EFT) for couples, Trauma-Focused Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (TF-CBT), and somatic approaches to trauma treatment. I remain committed to ongoing learning and consultation so I can continue offering thoughtful, evidence-based care.
