In a world where authenticity is often hidden beneath layers of expectation and survival, I strive to offer something different: a space where you feel safe, seen, and heard.

I create an environment rooted in warmth, validation, and compassion—where you are free to show up as your full self. My approach is client-centered, trauma-informed, culturally affirming, and grounded in relationship. Through thoughtful questions, active listening, collaborative problem-solving, and meaningful feedback, I support you in making sense of your story.

Together, we explore the messages you’ve carried from the past, respond with compassion to your inner critic, and untangle patterns that no longer serve you. I believe healing begins when we make space for pain and give voice to the parts of ourselves that have long been quiet. By acknowledging and holding discomfort, we build resilience and reconnect with our emotional and physical selves.

My commitment as your therapist is to walk alongside you—to create a space where healing happens, growth is nurtured, and authenticity is reclaimed. This is your journey, and I’m honored to be part of it.

Fun facts about me 

• I have a twin sister, and I’m the older one by a whole two minutes—so basically, I’m the VIP of our duo. My parents had no clue they were in for a double surprise until the big day. Talk about a plot twist!!

• I’m a fan of scary movies, roller coasters, and haunted houses—basically, if it gives you adrenaline and makes you scream, I’m in.

• When I’m not scaring myself silly, I’m binge-watching Korean dramas. My top picks? "Crash Landing On You," "Daily Dose of Sunshine," and "When Life Gives you Tangerines." They’re like potato chips for the soul—once you start, you can’t stop!

• I’m married with two toddler girls who are 21 months apart. It’s like living in a non-stop episode of a reality show—minus the cameras, but with all the drama and fun.
