About Me
Healing isn’t linear — and neither was my path to becoming a trauma therapist.
As the daughter of an immigrant mother and a biracial father, I deeply understand the complexities of identity, belonging, and feeling “othered.” Growing up in Los Angeles — a city obsessed with image and fitting in — I wrestled with internalized judgments that fueled fear, shame, and disconnection.
Through the support of skilled trauma therapists, I learned to transform fear into courage and shame into self-compassion. Today, I’m passionate about offering that same safe, empowering space for others — whether you’re navigating trauma, life transitions, identity challenges, or a desire to reconnect with your authentic self.
Before therapy found me, I spent years climbing the corporate ladder in education, entertainment, and technology, working in New York, San Francisco, and Los Angeles. It wasn’t until a journey through Southeast Asia — where I immersed myself in yoga, holistic healing, and personal growth — that I truly started my own healing work.
Returning home, I earned my MS in Nutrition Sciences and MA in Clinical Psychology while teaching yoga and working as a Registered Dietitian. Today, I bring all of these influences together into an integrative, trauma-informed therapy practice.
My clinical training includes:
- Certified EMDR Therapist and EMDR Consultant-in-Training
- Level 1 Trained in Internal Family Systems (IFS) + ongoing advance training and consultation
- Certified in Psychedelic-Assisted Therapy with Ketamine
- Advanced training in Somatic Therapy, AEDP (Accelerated Experiential Dynamic Psychotherapy), and Couples Therapy
- Mentorship of associate therapists and personal therapeutic growth
I specialize in working with adults navigating developmental trauma, relationship and attachment issues, life transitions, midlife identity shifts, and personal empowerment after trauma.
My approach is relational, trauma-informed, and integrative — blending EMDR, IFS, somatic awareness, and psychedelic-assisted therapy to help you heal at the nervous system, emotional, and identity levels.
Redefining therapy
I’m not here to keep you stuck in endless cycles of therapy.
I’m here to help you heal, empower yourself, trust your inner voice, and reconnect to a life you’re excited about living.
Rooted in my own bi-cultural and bi-racial experience, I bring a deep understanding of complexity, resilience, and identity into the therapy room. I’m honored to walk alongside you as you rediscover and celebrate your most authentic self.
For a deeper dive towards your personal growth I provide ketamine-assisted psychotherapy.

About Therapy
Therapy is a space for you
You might feel a little nervous at first, dipping your toe into therapy with curiosity. Or you may be ready to dive in headfirst, excited to explore deeper emotional patterns and personal growth.
You may come with a specific goal — healing from trauma, building self-confidence, navigating a life transition — or simply a desire to reconnect with your authentic self.
Whatever brings you to therapy, I prioritize an open, collaborative, and compassionate approach. Together, we’ll create a supportive space where you can grow, heal, and move toward the life you want.
We tailor therapy to your needs
We’ll explore the places that frighten you – make sense of your destructive patterns and the negative chatter that takes up most of your brain space.
We’ll lean into the uncomfortable feelings and sensations that accompany your emotional world.
I’ll witness you testing your edges, growing exponentially, and learning to love all of the amazing parts that make up your unique self.
And I walk the walk
I’ll show up with a genuine sense of curiosity about who you are and what got you here.
As a therapist deeply committed to continuous learning and innovation, I bring a wealth of expertise in modalities such as IFS, EMDR, Somatic Therapy, and Ketamine-Assisted Psychotherapy. With a holistic and integrative approach, I embrace the wisdom of Bessel van der Kolk: therapy is not one size fits all. I personalize strategies tailored to your unique needs by valuing your individual journey and offering diverse tools for lasting transformation.
