My Story

As a mother, woman, and person of color from a third-culture background, I know what it is like to be othered. Growing up in environments where you hear messages about dieting and that your worth and value depend on your body size and how you look, I know what it feels like to be lost and pressured to fit into a certain mold. I also understand how the “-isms” can impact well-being. Now, as a mother, I know what it feels like to be going through pregnancy, postpartum, and parenthood. My personal experiences have led me to not only advocate for those who are marginalized and/or experience mental health concerns, but also seek specialized clinical training and provide a safe space for those who are going through painful experiences. Importantly, I have witnessed firsthand that when you continue to step out of your comfort zone and seek personal healing and growth, the weight of your challenges will become lighter and the state of your well-being will become stronger.

While my story may be different than yours, I believe that you don’t need to suffer in silence and alone. I hope to be there for you during your challenging moments.
