I am a licensed mental health counselor based in Brooklyn focused on creating authentic, collaborative relationships with my clients to foster intergenerational healing. I incorporate my training in complex trauma and somatic work to specialize in trauma, loss, and identity issues among immigrant, 1st and 2nd generation individuals. As a mixed race (Puerto Rican/Korean) second generation American, I appreciate and am a constant student in the complexities of identity, belonging, and the reality of how systemic inequality impacts someone’s ability to heal. I use a cultural relational framework, incorporating somatic embodiment, that focuses on fostering meaningful, healthy, long-lasting relationships. Together, we will examine the impact of formative relationships and the borrowed dynamics that may live in your relationships to this day. This might mean you’re struggling with estrangement, setting boundaries, navigating conflict, or just find yourself in a dynamic rut. I will act as a non-judgmental and hands-on teammate in creating and sticking to your therapeutic goals.
