About me

I am a multiracial, transracially adopted woman, a Licensed Professional Counselor, and an Approved Clinical Supervisor (ACS). My lived experience gives me a deep understanding of what it means to hold complex identities, and it shapes how I show up, with empathy, openness, and compassion. I don’t believe in a one-size-fits-all approach; instead, I meet you where you are, and together we co-create a safe and supportive space for your healing. My approach is relational, holistic, and grounded in connection, helping you feel seen, understood, and empowered in your journey.

Get to know me

In our first session together, here's what you can expect

In our first session, we’ll spend time getting to know one another and setting the foundation for our work together. I’ll invite you to share what brings you here and what you hope to gain from therapy, while also giving space for any questions you might have about the process. There’s no pressure to share everything at once, we move at a pace that feels right for you. Together, we’ll co-create goals that feel meaningful and set the tone for a safe, supportive, and collaborative space.

The biggest strengths that I bring into our sessions

My greatest strengths come from both my professional training and my lived experience as a multiracial, transracially adopted woman. I bring a relational, holistic approach that honors the whole person—mind, body, emotions, spirit, and the connections we carry through culture and ancestry. Clients often tell me they feel truly seen and understood in our work, which allows them to explore difficult experiences with safety and compassion. I integrate methods like EMDR, ACT, mindfulness, and narrative practices, always in a way that we co-create together. What makes me unique is my ability to hold space for complexity—whether around identity, belonging, trauma, or life transitions—while also recognizing the deeper sources of strength and energy that come from your roots and lived story. This balance helps clients reconnect with themselves in ways that feel grounded, healing, and lasting.

The clients I'm best positioned to serve

I work best with people navigating identity, belonging, and the weight of past experiences, especially those who feel caught between worlds. Many of my clients carry anxiety, trauma, or self-doubt while longing for deeper connection with themselves and others. If you’re ready to explore your story, reconnect with your strengths, and co-create meaningful change, I would be honored to walk alongside you.

I use the relational approach to help clients explore patterns in their relationships, strengthen self-worth, and create healthier ways of connecting with others.

I honor the ways your past experiences may have shaped your present. We go at a pace that feels safe for you and co-create practices that support your healing and resilience. Together we build safety, strengthen your inner resources, and work toward reducing the impact of painful experiences.

Integrative

I hold space for the whole person—mind, body, emotions, and spirit. Together, we co-create a path that draws from your strengths, values, culture, and spirituality to support your healing. This whole-person approach helps you feel more grounded, balanced, and aligned in all parts of your life.
