I hold the radical belief that problems are problems and people are not problems. My values in action look like approaching therapy with humor and creativity, incorporating written and artistic practices, and inviting others in to witness your journey.

If you're feeling anxious, stuck, or caught in patterns you can't quite explain; or overthinking, second-guessing, or repeating the same conflicts in your relationships … You're not alone.
I work with adults navigating anxiety, depression, trauma, identity development, relationship issues, life transitions, and the particular stress that comes with acculturation, immigration, and belonging. I also work with teens and families, supporting youth around school and peer and family relationships, and collaborating with parents and school systems.

The kinds of issues I typically work with include relationship problems, depression, anxiety, creative blocks, personality disorders, grief and loss, life transitions, career issues, trauma, abuse, and problems related to sexuality.
Therapy can help you overcome difficulties, live creatively, and feel more alive. Many people become stuck in ways of thinking and living that no longer serve them. Through a caring therapeutic relationship, you can develop the courage to live in a meaningful and fulfilling way. Over the past 25 years, I have helped people with a wide variety of issues work through significant challenges, freeing them to make better choices. In addition to my clinical work, I teach and supervise at various training programs throughout the Bay Area, and was the Director of Counseling at California College of the Arts for 15 years.

I’ve been through my own therapy as a young adult when I was stuck in a bout of anxiety and panic attacks due to childhood trauma.
I’m passionate about working with different age groups, ethnic backgrounds, and sexual orientations. I use a humanistic approach to build strong therapeutic relationships with clients, an essential component to ensure the success of treatment. I draw from evidence-based approaches, such as CBT and mindfulness to help you manage anxiety and depression.

You may be tired of the same arguments, anxious thoughts, or emotional patterns returning again and again.
I won’t just nod quietly and ask, “And how does that make you feel?” (though we will talk about feelings). We’ll slow things down, get curious about what’s happening underneath the surface, and really look at what’s driving the present day challenges. Together, we build insight that supports meaningful growth.
