If you’re feeling like you don’t belong, then you’ve nearly found yourself.

Many people today value therapy attuned to their lived experience, and this is why I’m passionate about working with clients living with intersectional identities. As a member of BIPOC, Queer, and Neurodivergent communities, I’m proud to serve clients struggling under the weight of systemic oppression. First-generation and decolonizing clients, especially Filipinx/Asian people, will readily find a home with me. If you’re a witch, kinky person, polyam adventurer, or other unconventional sort of human, I want to support you. 

To me, therapy is truly a magical space. Its structure allows us to touch every corner of our experience in a profound way, yet it is a place apart from our daily lives, a realm between the real and not-real. It’s a space to imagine and reimagine, to experiment, to grieve our lost loves, to transform, to crash out and lose ourselves, and to learn from wise and sometimes unexpected parts of ourselves. As a therapist, it is a gift to be a witness and guide to your process in our little laboratory. Whatever the result, we’re learning and growing through our experiences together, and when you’re ready, you can carry what you’ve learned into your real life and relationships. 

I’m not a sit-back-and-watch kind of therapist. I want to collaborate, to get excited about your experiences, and to tell you point-blank what I see when we arrive somewhere. If you work with me, you’ll know and feel my presence beside you every step of the way. I’m not afraid to take a leap with you into the mystery of self, and I’m here to catch you if we leap too far. 

If you’re ready to confront the real, if you’re seeking what lies at the heart of it all, I’m here to begin that work with you. Let's tap into your magic.
