About Me

As an Associate Counselor, this queer-trans nonbinary therapist of colour passionately champions fellow QTBIPOC. They cultivate a deeply understanding space where all parts of you are truly welcome. Sessions offer a safe place to explore unique life experiences. With genuine curiosity and free from judgment, clients feel seen and understood. This approach fosters resilience and a strong sense of belonging on their journey towards well-being.

Approach

My practice centers attention to layered identities, so sessions move at a careful, respectful pace that honors your full story and the ways culture and gender shape it. In my Manhattan Beach office and during online sessions in English, we use steady check-ins, collaborative goal-setting, and short reflective practices between meetings to keep therapy grounded and practical. I weave acceptance-focused strategies with open curiosity to help you clarify values, repair or redefine relationships, and navigate family tensions. This approach often suits QTBIPOC clients, couples, and families seeking steady, grounded support.
