Get To Know Me
What is your style/approach to therapy?
I have a naturally depth-oriented way of working. I believe your symptoms are not defects. They are the seeds of a self that adapted to survive, and they make sense once we understand what they were protecting. So much of what brings people to me is not one event. It is a pattern. Chronic self-doubt. The sense of having been silenced, by others or by yourself. The long habit of reading what everyone else needs before you know what you need.
Therapy with me looks a little different week to week. I am fluid and open by nature, and I make room for imperfection, awkwardness, humor, and the ordinary nuance of being a person.
My work is informed by parts work, somatics, and EFT, which means we do not stay only in your thoughts and your story. We work with the places in the body where those stories live, and with the parts of you that took on their jobs long before you had a say. I am also trained in psychedelic integration, for clients making meaning of those experiences.
In what ways have your personal experiences influenced your work with your clients?
My work is informed by my own time on the other side of the couch, as a client. I believe that while we all have unique histories, there is a golden thread of experience that connects me to you, and you to me. Being let into someone's inner world is a privilege, and it takes time and trust to build. It cannot be rushed, the same way a plant cannot be hurried into putting down roots.
I know something about holding more than one world at once. I grew up between cultures, the daughter of an immigrant father, in a lineage shaped by both trauma and the breaking of it. The gift of having a cycle broken for me also came with a kind of distance, from heritage, from belonging, from the easy sense of where you come from. Being biracial, being queer, being highly sensitive, being the one in my family who went and did the work, taught me early how to hold contradictions that do not resolve. It is part of why I can sit with your complexities without needing to tidy them into something simpler than they are.

Work HistorySome children learn to be loud. Others learn to disappear.
Maybe you are the second kind. You read a room before you enter it. You know what everyone else needs, and you go blank when someone asks what you want. Somewhere early, you were told that your feelings were a weather system everyone else had to survive, and you concluded that the safest thing to be was small.
That is not a personality. It is an adaptation, and it was a good one. It worked. The cost arrives later, usually in the form of a life that looks fine and feels far away — or a relationship where you are close to someone and still, somehow, alone.
I work with people who learned early that the safest thing to be was easy, the one who did not need much, and who now, in their closest relationships, struggle to speak up, to take time for themselves, or to know what they truly want.
