Get To Know Me
What was your path to becoming a therapist? What inspired you to choose this profession?
I grew up the youngest of five siblings in an intercultural/racial household. I was able to observe how cultural influences and intergenerational trauma influenced the ways my parents, my siblings, and I were able to understand ourselves and one another. After processing and understanding what this meant for myself, I wanted to become a therapist to help others understand themselves too. I am inspired to help clients learn more about themselves to help achieve goals of higher self-esteem, greater emotional understanding, increasing effective communication, and cultivating healthier relationships.

Professional Background
LicensureCalifornia, Licensed Marriage and Family Therapist, LMFT150992
Education
Northwestern University, Marriage and Family Therapy, 2022 — Obtained 500+ hours of direct and indirect clinical experience with licensed individual and group supervision.
University of Edinburgh, Master of Arts, Psychology, 2020
Work HistoryI started practicing in 2020 at a student community clinic performing services via telehealth in Evanston, Illinois. I was able to enjoy working with a variety of client populations in individual and relational therapy (e.g., lower/higher income, interracial relationships, neurodivergent/neurotypical, LGBTQIA+). This also helped me gain experience in a multitude of clinical issues, such as depression, anxiety, relationship issues, grief/loss, and more.
After graduating, I moved to the SF Bay Area, where I strengthened working with clients who struggle with various intersecting identities in understanding themselves, their emotions, thoughts, and relationships. I enjoy working with clients who want to make more sense of themselves to help cultivate more enriching and fulfilling experiences.
