If you’re feeling overwhelmed by anxiety, navigating relationship challenges, or trying to manage things like ADHD, PMDD, or hormone-related changes, you don’t have to figure it all out on your own. I know how much life can demand—balancing work, relationships, family, and everything in between can leave very little space to actually slow down and check in with yourself.

I work with adults and couples, and I really value creating a space that feels safe, supportive, and easy to show up in. My style is laid-back and genuine, and I care a lot about building a strong, collaborative connection so therapy feels helpful—not intimidating.

If you’ve spent years masking, over-explaining, or trying to fit into spaces not built for you, my practice offers a different path. As a Licensed Clinical Social Worker (LCSW) with an MSW from UC Berkeley, I provide a space where you don’t need to be "fixed"—you need to be understood. My work centers on supporting neurodivergent adults, LGBTQ+ individuals, those navigating complex cultural identities, and people healing from trauma. I integrate evidence-based clinical practices with the healing traditions of my Tlingit and Hawaiian heritage.

Prior to private practice, I served as a first responder and worked in government and community settings, providing support to diverse populations who have often felt overlooked by traditional mental health systems. Whether we are addressing complex trauma or the daily toll of navigating a world that doesn't always make room for you, I am committed to providing an affirming and deeply collaborative therapeutic experience.
