Have you been feeling hopeless and alone, like no one understands you? Are you looking for someone who will listen to you without judgment? If this sounds like you, I would love to help. I am a first-generation biracial Asian American who is physically disabled, chronically ill, neurodivergent, nonmonogamous, and nonbinary. I also have the unique experience of being homeschooled with a history of navigating my own mental health struggles. I often bring my lived experiences into the counseling room to show my clients that they are not alone. My greatest passion is working with those who share identities and experiences with me.

My greatest hope is that, through our work together, you can come to see that there are other people like you. I strive to help my clients learn how to exist in the world as themselves and to learn how to accommodate and advocate for their needs. I love working with teenagers and college-aged students. I understand that this can be a confusing and scary time and I am passionate about creating a safe space for people to explore what feels right to them. Together, we can explore your sexuality, gender, career, education paths, and life passions to help you become your authentic self.
