Education:
I am an Asian-American (Nisei Japanese) licensed independent clinical social worker invested in exploring psycho-social-spiritual healing practices that work for you. My style is rooted in consistency and honesty. I value curiosity, reflection, creativity and humor as pathways of connection and collaboration. In sessions, I invite clients to co-create an open, liberated space for their wellness and mental health journeys. I approach individual therapy differently for each person and believe you know your life best! My role is to guide you through your own processes of self-discovery and growth opportunities that resonate with you.
I aim to offer an integrative approach within an anti-oppressive framework, rooted in social justice and culturally-responsive/affirming practice tailored to meet your needs. I utilize an intersectional lens to understand how anxiety, depression, stress and trauma-related concerns are impacted by systems of oppression. I am passionate about serving 2SLGBTQIA+ gender diverse people and communities of color, and attuned to how racism, classism, sexism, homophobia, transphobia, ableism and social stigma are experienced by individuals navigating the world. I look forward to connecting to see if we would be a good fit!

BIOGRAPHY:
I was born and raised in Trinidad and Tobago and moved to the United States in 2013 to pursue my Bachelor’s degree in Psychology from Hamilton College. I received my Master’s degree in Social Work from Boston College and I am a Licensed Social Worker (LCSW) with over 5 years of experience working in the field.
I believe that the therapeutic relationship is the core of clinical work and I utilize an anti-oppressive and trauma-informed approach to cultivate trust and respect with my clients. I utilize a holistic approach, tailored to each individual client, that acknowledges each person’s strengths, lived experiences and social identities. I work collaboratively with clients in a solution-focused manner to identify opportunities for growth while acknowledging systemic barriers and personal challenges that inhibit change. I encourage my clients to gently lean in to the discomfort that comes with healing while holding space for the thoughts, feelings, and hesitancies that surface in that process.
I am dedicated to treating those with marginalized identities and lead with an understanding that each person’s identity impacts how they experience the world and navigate spaces. In particular, I am passionate about working with BIPOC and LGBTQ+ identifying clients and always lead with cultural sensitivity and awareness around intersectionality and social stigma. I have experience working with individuals navigating anxiety, obsessions and compulsions, depressive symptoms, life transitions, eating disturbance, stress, and trauma. I also have experience working with families and couples to help navigate relationship issues, conflict, and change. I encourage you to come as you are and bring your authentic self into this therapeutic space so that we may, together, embark on a journey to improve your well-being
