I’m a Queer Sāmoan woman from Southern California, grounded in my roots, family, and community. My life is fueled by faith, love, chosen family and my sweet American Bully, Turtle. I became a therapist to help people live fuller, more joyful lives—and to remind even the strongest, most “together” people that it’s okay to rest, breathe, and just be. I value being able to create spaces that my parents and ancestors didn’t have, where people can feel fully seen, safe, and supported.

I work with folks who feel pressure to always be strong, perfect, or in control—those who rarely give themselves permission to slow down. I also welcome anyone who wants to be fully seen, including through culture, identity, or unique life experiences. Together, we create a space that fits you, where humor, empathy, and practical tools meet real human needs. I believe in the power of “me too,” not just “me first”—healing happens in connection, not isolation.

I help people find relief, connection, and joy—without the pressure to “fix” everything. When I am not in the therapy room, I’m planting seeds as a speaker, group facilitator or community spaces to help you let go of perfection, move through life with ease. I intend to walk alongside you as you learn to show up for yourself and your community with confidence and heart. Healing is everywhere—in therapy, music, friends, nature, and everyday life—and I’m here to help you claim it, together.
