Great to meet you!

I’m a Salvadoran-Korean licensed therapist and the first-born daughter of immigrants. I own a psychotherapy practice specializing in working with BIPOC professionals and students who feel stuck and feel a deep pull toward transformation. Often my clients have already done significant work in therapy, yet sense there is still something more to uncover. I’ve been there myself. When I began integrating Ketamine-Assisted Psychotherapy (KAP) into my own healing journey, I experienced profound breakthroughs in hours that had previously taken years with EMDR. If you’re ready to go deeper, to find clarity, self-compassion, and lasting change, I’ll be your guide through that process.

My approach to therapy

I specialize in Ketamine-Assisted Psychotherapy (KAP), which promotes new neural connections and supports lasting change from the very first session. As a Salvadoran-Korean therapist and trauma researcher, I integrate CBT, DBT, and E-IMR to help clients process trauma, shift patterns, and build emotional resilience.


Traditional therapy doesn’t work for everyone, and not everyone has years to wait for change. Whether you’re feeling stuck or ready for a new chapter, therapy can help you reconnect with your strength and purpose. If you’re curious about how KAP can support your growth, I’d be honored to walk with you through the process.

What you can expect from me

When you book a session or make a referral, you can anticipate a respectful, dignified experience where connection and understanding are essential. I meet people where they're at and support their bravery as they do difficult things and make changes in their lives. I am passionate about creating a safe, professional environment where clients are empowered as the experts of their own lives, with guidance tailored to what matters to them.
