Affirming, trauma-informed therapy for people navigating identity, belonging, burnout, and emotional patterns—especially Black, LGBTQIA2S+, gender-diverse, and helping-professional adults who want therapy that goes deeper.
"Therapy should be a place where you can exhale."
I am a Licensed Creative Arts Therapist with Peace Love Wellness offering trauma-informed, relational therapy for adults in New York. I work with individuals who are exploring identity, healing from emotional pain, and learning how to feel more at home in themselves, their bodies, and their relationships.
My path into this work is shaped by both lived experience and professional training. Having spent my early childhood in a predominantly Black community before being adopted into an Asian-identifying family, and also growing up gay, I developed an early understanding of how complex identity, culture, race, sexuality, family, and belonging can be.
These experiences continue to inform my deep respect for clients navigating identity development, community belonging, emotional adaptation, and the search for a more self-defined life.

Journaling and meditation keep me most grounded.
Therapy with me is intentional, collaborative, and grounded. It is not passive, and it is not surface-level.
I offer therapy for people who want more than coping skills alone—people who are seeking deeper healing, stronger emotional regulation, healthier boundaries, and a more authentic relationship with themselves.
My practice is rooted in culturally responsive, affirming care. I am attuned to working with clients who have spent much of their lives showing up for others and are now learning how to show up for themselves.
Dedicated support for Black, LGBTQIA2S+, and gender-diverse individuals navigating identity shifts, cultural transitions, or a sense of not quite fitting in.
Expert care for adults navigating anxiety, depression, trauma, and PTSD. We move at a pace that honors both your strengths and your nervous system.
Compassionate therapy for healthcare workers, caregivers, and helping professionals experiencing severe burnout and exhaustion.
Specialized focus on clients working through relational patterns, attachment wounds, and self-worth. I offer both individual therapy and couples/relationship counseling to help you build confidence in relationships and establish healthy boundaries.
I believe transparency is essential in the therapeutic relationship. While no space can be guaranteed to feel completely safe at all times, I am committed to creating a brave and supportive space—one where emotional risk-taking is honored, curiosity is encouraged, and moments of discomfort are met with care rather than judgment.
Practicing skills that support emotion regulation strategies, boundaries, and self-trust.
Body-based awareness and relational frameworks to explore patterns, beliefs, and emotional responses.
Helping you understand yourself and feel more capable navigating life outside the session.
As a graduate of NYU Steinhardt in Drama Therapy, I use creativity as a clinically grounded and intentional therapeutic tool. It is an active and experiential approach that integrates drama, art, music, movement, poetry, and storytelling.
Through metaphor, role, movement, and narrative, clients are able to access emotion, insight, and self-understanding in ways that feel embodied, expressive, and deeply human—opening pathways that traditional talk therapy alone may not reach.
"All creative interventions are grounded in clinical intention, structure, and therapeutic goals, never performance, and never 'just expressive.' Guided by your comfort level and readiness."
