Most importantly, my ideal client is someone who is desiring and ready for change. You may feel stuck in some aspect of your life such as career or relationships. You may have suffered a traumatic event. You may be experiencing symptoms of anxiety and depression. And you have reached a point when you are ready to take action even if you don't quite know what that will look like yet. What I love most is accompanying someone on their journey inward, offering a safe space for you to be fully you.

And if you're a woman of color or LGBTQ+, know that you're especially welcome to connect with me.
We put so much effort into our careers – from years of schooling to endless job searching and hours spent at work. Our jobs often become a big part of who we are, affecting how we feel about ourselves and even becoming our main social circle. It's no wonder that our mental health can be strongly influenced by our work lives. That's where I come in. I specialize in helping professional women build healthier relationships with their work, so that they can thrive in their careers and at home.

I bring my full self to all spaces to model authenticity and call for a curiosity on who and how we can be, allowing for vulnerable profound human connection and internal exploration. I am fascinated by how people have come to be, and fantasize about an alternative way they could've been, or could still be - if only they could become aware of the possibilities. My ties to interpersonal and societal violence have led me to constantly reflect and understand me and my family’s unique individual upbringings. What started as a personal endeavor led me to becoming a therapist.

My experiences as a queer woman and as a parent inform my therapy.
If you are reading this, you have gotten my name from a person or a search. You want to know why to call me. Some reasons why include: I am direct, perceptive, and can tell you quickly whether and how I plan to help you. I have special experience with GLBTQ clients, parents, people with mood disorders, trauma, therapist clients, and psychoanalysis. I have been a teacher and supervisor as well as a therapist for thirty years, which helps me have language and a plan for what we do. Call me if you think we might be a match.

Finding balance and living a fulfilling life is easier said than done. The concepts may seem simple, but the reality is that it takes patience and bravery to ride out the waves. As a therapist, I encourage you to find confidence, purpose, and meaning to live authentically in the present. I have experience and passion working with those experiencing multigenerational trauma and transitions, as well as a special emphasis on creative/artistic lifestyles, and cultural competency. Prior to becoming a therapist, I was a music journalist. My roots reside in the Bay Area. I currently also serve on the Board for Donaldina Cameron House.

As a biracial woman and child of an immigrant, I am mindful of my clients’ intersecting identities and committed to providing culturally affirming care.
My areas of specialization include anxiety, pregnancy and postpartum concerns, and relationship issues. I specialize in empowering professionals in high pressure fields to quiet their inner critic and manage stress to feel more confident and balanced. As a provider certified in perinatal mental health (and a parent myself), I am passionate about supporting pregnant & postpartum people to address mood and anxiety concerns and navigate the adjustment to parenthood to feel more connected and at ease. With relationships, I support partners with improving communication and intimacy, rebuilding trust, and developing a deep, lasting bond.

Sometimes the issues and struggles that we encounter in life are almost impossible to resolve on our own. A seasoned therapist, I bring nearly 20 years of experience working with people struggling with a range of difficulties including more severe emotional problems. My approach is down-to-earth and practical. I'll first clarify with you where you feel stuck and how you would like to feel or behave differently. We will work collaboratively to understand the nature of your distress and the blocked or unknown or possibly forbidden feelings that tangle the process of achieving the life you seek.

Self-discovery is a process that can be both incredibly challenging and tremendously rewarding. Sometimes we seek it out and often it finds us through painful and uncomfortable symptoms or experiences. Some symptoms that I see in my practice include relationship challenges, anxiety, depression, health issues and inner critic challenges. As a parent, I also work with new parents. Challenging experiences can lead to powerful healing and profound change. I believe in this process because it revolutionized my own life. I am honored to accompany others in their version of this process.

People may think you've got it together. You may even be quite successful. But underneath you may feel sad, anxious, insecure, or empty. You may have habits you don't like or conflicts you don't understand. The goal is not to "fix" you, but to provide you with insights that allow you to be more effective and satisfied. Therapy is not a one-size-fits-all toolbox. I will help you manage your unique struggles, balancing practical coping skills with an in-depth understanding of you as a person, which leads to your growth and self-acceptance.

Choosing a therapist can be a daunting process. I am inspired by anyone who is willing to reach out to a complete stranger, in order to challenge and heal themselves. I believe safety and non-judgment are among the most important aspects of the therapeutic relationship. I am committed to supporting you as we explore your thoughts and feelings, looking closely at barriers that until now have limited your insights and clarity. Your power to feel better comes from looking inward, instead of out, and I want to help you do the work to get to that healing place.

My expertise lies in helping people manage anxiety, relationship dynamics (with romantic partners, family or friends), depression, self-esteem issues, professional fulfillment, and existential well-being. You may have been so focused on achieving external goals that you haven't had the time to address your emotions or past events and it feels like you can't avoid them anymore. Together, we would navigate through the experiences that have been difficult to sort through on your own and have left you spiraling or feeling stuck.
