With over eight years of experience in school counseling, I specialize in supporting students through a wide range of emotional, behavioral, and academic challenges. My approach integrates solution-focused therapy and cognitive behavioral techniques (CBT), along with culturally responsive strategies tailored to each individual's needs. I have extensive experience helping students navigate trauma, manage anxiety, and develop the confidence needed for post-secondary success.

As a Cambodian-American, I was born in a refugee camp and raised in Minnesota. My background also includes working closely with families through conflict resolution and family-based interventions.

In addition to my counseling experience, I began my career as a high school basketball coach and continue to apply coaching techniques to help students overcome performance anxiety and build resilience. I hold a master’s degree in school counseling and am currently completing my second master’s degree in school administration. I plan to pursue a doctorate in education or psychology in the near future.

My work is rooted in compassion, cultural humility, and a commitment to empowering students and families to thrive academically, socially, and emotionally.
