I am a Licensed Mental Health Counselor who works with adolescents and adults through an affirming, trauma-informed, and culturally responsive lens. As a first-generation immigrant, my experiences shape how I understand identity, belonging, and the courage it takes to live authentically in systems that have not always felt safe. I strive to create a space where clients do not have to edit themselves to be respected or understood.

My practice is explicitly LGBTQ+ affirming. I support clients across sexual orientations and gender identities, including those who are questioning, coming out, navigating family or religious conflict, exploring gender identity, or coping with minority stress and discrimination. I also work with transgender and gender-diverse clients around dysphoria, social transition, relationships, and self-acceptance. My role is not to change identity, but to support safety, self-trust, and empowerment.

Although I may not be involved in any memberships, research or initiatives, I remain committed to ongoing LGBTQ+ education, consultation, advocacy, and providing a warm, respectful therapeutic relationship.
