About
As a practitioner I seek to assist my clients to begin to shed the layers of the their cocoon, and accept themselves as whole people. I utilize mindfulness techniques, somatic awareness, meditation, attachment and experiential psychotherapy. I encourage clients to stay with their feelings in the here and now, and ask them to accept and honor the present moment with all its feelings rather than exiling or "fixing" their feelings.
As queer biracial adult and 1.5 generation immigrant to the US, I have both personal and professional experience with racism, oppression, and othering. I specialize in working with BIPOC and LBGTQIA+ clients.
My practice is grounded in buddhist psychology and mindfulness. My desire is to create a collaborative, supportive and relational experience during our sessions. I hold equity, social justice, inclusivity, and decolonizing as the framework for healing.
