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 and couples 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.

As a first generation, first-born, bi-racial woman, I have always wanted to be understood by my providers on a deeper level. I strive to provide therapy for people who want someone who will get them - especially in situations with other providers have been dismissive. My greatest strengths as a provider is my anti-oppressive and BIPOC perspective and extensive experience and training serving BIPOC, 2SLGBTQIA+, and neurodivergent communities.
