When I was asked what career I wanted to pursue in my younger years, my answer was, “I don’t know, but I want to help people.” As a child, I experienced numerous traumatic situations, including being bombed, immigrating to the United States, and experiencing severe bullying as well as social isolation. I remember wishing that I had someone to talk to, which was what motivated me to pursue a career in counseling.
My road to being a counselor was somewhat roundabout due to financial and social barriers, and I spent several years working as a paralegal in a law firm. After following my partner to Wisconsin for a career opportunity, I decided to take the leap and get my master’s degree in counseling. My initial clinical experiences led me toward a trauma-informed approach. My practice focuses—first and foremost—on developing an open, safe, and genuine relationship with my clients.
​
I work with a diverse clientele, including LGBTQIA+, BIPOC, and neurodivergent individuals, on concerns including anxiety, trauma, self-esteem, and chronic pain through a trauma-informed, compassionate, holistic, and systemic approach. I utilize IFS, narrative, ACT, and experiential therapies and has training in trauma processing, body positivity, ERP, and binge eating.
​
I received my M.S. in Counseling from the University of Wisconsin, Whitewater and my dual B.A.'s in Sociology and Social Welfare from the University of California, Berkeley. I am currently licensed in the state of Washington and have a private practice as a remote mental health practitioner. I also serve as a Subject Matter Expert in Mental Health for Mendocino Food Consulting to advise on the intersection of food, nutrition, psychoactives, and mental health.
