“I am a queer, mixed-race Asian American of Shimanchu (Okinawan) and Ashkenazi Jewish descent”
My approach to therapy is rooted in anti-oppression and liberatory principles, seeking to honor each person’s individuality and autonomy. Much of my experience is working with people of color and queer and trans/gender non-conforming people. I have specialized training in trauma practice, particularly around experiences of abuse, violence, and intergenerational trauma.
