My multicultural background has deeply informed how I view identity, belonging, and family. These lived experiences continue to influence how I understand the unique ways people make sense of themselves and their personal histories. This perspective has also deepened my appreciation for working with people from culturally diverse backgrounds and those who identify as LGBTQ+, recognizing that no single part of our identity exists in isolation.
As a trauma-informed therapist, I work from a relational perspective. I draw from attachment theory, family systems, and somatic approaches to better understand the experiences that shape our lives. Together, we’ll explore not only what has happened to you, but also the patterns that have developed over time and how they continue to influence your life today.
I believe that lasting change begins with understanding ourselves more fully. When we approach our experiences with curiosity instead of judgment, we create space for healing, deeper connection, and new ways of moving through the world.
