Integrating clinical expertise with lived experience to support meaningful change.
My Story
I’m a Licensed Marriage and Family Therapist based in New York City and licensed in New Jersey and Florida (telehealth only). I offer virtual therapy for adults and older teens, specializing in supporting adoptees, those navigating identity and belonging, and anyone seeking therapy that’s culturally responsive and trauma-informed. I also offer consultation for parents of adoptees.
As a transracial and intercountry adoptee, I bring both professional training and lived experience to my work. My personal story has shaped how I understand attachment, family systems, identity, and the many ways we learn to protect — and reconnect with — ourselves. I approach therapy with curiosity, creativity, and compassion, helping clients make sense of their experiences and move toward growth and healing
Before becoming a therapist, I studied Fine Arts at the University of Minnesota and worked as a mixed-media artist — a background that still influences my perspective on self-expression and resilience. I earned my M.A. in Marriage and Family Therapy from St. Mary’s University of Minnesota and have worked in both agency and private practice settings in Minneapolis and New York City, where I facilitated groups, supervised other clinicians, and provided care to individuals navigating a wide range of identities and life transitions.
In addition to my private practice, I co-founded the Adoptee Wellness Collective, where we offer community & professional workshops and small groups centered on connection, identity, and healing.
