About

Many of the people I work with hold marginalized identities and come from immigrant or cross-cultural families with a history of complex trauma. My style is warm, engaged, thoughtful and practical. I tailor a unique blend of talk therapy, parts work, mindfulness-based and somatic practices to meet you where you are, and use a signature cocktail of humor and honesty to both support and challenge you. I also draw from various depth and wisdom traditions that honor dreams, images, words and sounds, synchronicities, and the body as intelligent and important ways of knowing. Therapy isn’t just about recounting your past but about seeing your life more fully—as a rich tapestry of meaning, woven with both joy and suffering. Every experience—in real life and in your wildest dreams—contains a treasure trove of wisdom that is beckoning you towards greater aliveness and wholeness.
