The curious paradox is that when I accept myself just as I am, then I change.

My approach to therapy

As a licensed psychotherapist (LMFT) in California, I specialize in therapy for individuals, couples, and adult families. I’ve been licensed since 2010 and have supported clients in both private practice and nonprofit settings.

My passion is guiding first-gen adults, cycle-breakers, and folks navigating complex family dynamics, relational challenges, trauma, and identity exploration. I use a Radical Healing framework, grounded in systems theory, cultural awareness, and relational practices. This approach helps us look beyond individual “fixes” to understand how legacy, community, and social systems shape your emotional experiences.

In therapy, we may explore:

  • Family dynamics and communication

  • Inherited trauma and internalized beliefs

  • Cultural identity and belonging

  • Emotional regulation and relational patterns

Whether you come to therapy alone, with a partner, or with family, I offer a space where you can:

  • Reconnect with your values

  • Challenge inherited patterns

  • Begin a healing journey rooted in awareness and choice

What you can expect

Radical Healing is a therapy framework rooted in justice, culture, and collective care. While it centers the experiences of BIPOC, queer, and first-gen individuals, its values — authenticity, safety, and relational healing — support anyone seeking to understand and break free from internalized or inhererited patterns and grow with clarity and intention.

This approach:

  • Prioritizes safety, validation, and full self-expression

  • Encourages resilience and resistance to collective trauma or systemic harm (i.e. surviving a global pandemic, trauma of immigration, racism, etc.)

  • Helps clients grow into lives that reflect their truth and values

In our work together, you’re not just unpacking your story, you’re rewriting it with care, clarity, and choice.

If you're ready to start therapy rooted in identity, justice, and growth, I’d be honored to support you.
