It's a pleasure to meet you! I am a bi-racial (Korean-Salvadorian) Licensed Clinical Social Worker who offers expert, culturally responsive care focused on recovery. I love working with adults navigating life changes, their mental health, societal injustices, and the end of their intergenerational trauma. I have certifications in Cognitive Behavioral Therapy and Enhanced Illness Management and Recovery, and additional training in Dialectical Behavioral Therapy and treatment for Complex Traumatic Stress Disorders (PRISM).

What can clients expect to take away from sessions with you?

When you book a session or make a referral, you can anticipate a respectful, dignified experience where connection and understanding are essential. I meet people where they're at and support their bravery as they do difficult things and make changes in their lives. I am passionate about creating a safe, professional environment where clients are empowered as the experts of their own lives, with guidance tailored to what matters to them.

Explain to clients what areas you feel are your biggest strengths.

My greatest strength as a provider is my ability to meet people where they are, holding patience and space for their unique needs and goals while putting in the effort to build the strong rapport necessary for real, lasting change. I deeply value creating a therapeutic relationship rooted in understanding and respect, helping clients feel truly seen and supported as they navigate their journey toward growth. As a first-generation, first-born, bi-racial woman, I understand the importance of being genuinely understood by a provider—especially when past experiences may have felt dismissive or invalidating. I bring an anti-oppressive and systemic perspective to my work, offering therapy that recognizes and addresses the broader contexts of my clients' lives. I am dedicated to creating a space where individuals feel heard, valued, and empowered to achieve the change they seek.
