I'm a highly interactive therapist. Interactive also means I engage with you by listening to you as deeply as I can. I try to understand your predicament—how you come to be talking to me now about the things we're discussing—and to hold up a mirror to you so that you can fully see how things are. Fully seeing how things are then leads to seeing how things can be different. I'm happy to talk to you about the therapy process and about the developmental, and humanistic theories I find most useful and effective in helping you build self and resilience and choice...and be congruent: where what you tell others fully matches what you feel.

I work with queer individuals, gay couples, and groups navigating curiosity around identity, relationships, sexuality, intimacy, substance use, and anxiety. Many of my clients come to me feeling stuck — repeating patterns in relationships, behaviors, feeling disconnected from their bodies or desires, struggling with shame around sex and/or substances, or questioning what they actually want versus what may not be serving them any longer. Additionally, I work with gay men who are in relationships where there is conflict. I aim to create a space for you to feel safe to show up authentically, whatever that looks like for you.

My focus is to develop a relationship with the client. This is called the two person model which is different than the old fashion practice where the doctor is one up and the client is one down. Rather, the two person model attempts to understand the client through questions and mutual discussion. I am not a silent therapist. I give feedback and remain fully engaged with the patient. Together we build a rapport. I adhere to a humanistic approach.

My clients are thoughtful, driven professionals who appear successful on the outside but often feel emotionally overwhelmed, disconnected, or unsure of who they are beneath the roles they perform. Many are people of color working in tech, business, or other demanding environments, or immigrants and first-generation individuals navigating complex questions of identity, belonging, and cultural conflict. Despite their accomplishments, they may feel anxious, stuck, or unseen—and they’re not just looking to manage symptoms. They want space to reflect, to feel deeply, and to connect with a more authentic sense of self.

Your experience is worthy of exploration and I believe that we all benefit from a protected space to journey through our history, needs, thoughts, and wishes around who we've been and who we want to be. I'm also familiar with the many ways that we can feel prohibited from giving ourselves such a space.

I am an experienced psychotherapist with offices in both San Francisco and Berkeley. I provide therapy for adults and adolescents as my primary focus. I meet with individuals, couples, and families to help them overcome areas of emotional and relational difficulties.
I have an active, open way of working and am curious, engaged, honest, and direct. I take people's need for change very seriously, and am an advocate for finding ways to help people live with greater depth, satisfaction, and choice. While this can involve diligence, resilience, and perseverance, play and creativity are also integral in the process.

Taking the step to begin therapy can feel vulnerable, but it’s also a powerful investment in yourself and your well-being. Therapy offers a space to better understand your experiences, work through what may be keeping you stuck, and create meaningful change in your life. Whether you’re navigating anxiety, relationship challenges, life transitions, burnout, or a desire for deeper self-understanding, I strive to provide a space where you feel supported, understood, and genuinely seen.
Together, we’ll explore patterns that no longer serve you while creating space for growth, healing, and lasting change.

I work at the intersection of three territories most therapists keep separate: sexuality, trauma, and spiritual life. In my experience they are never separate — and the people who come to me usually already know that.
I am a depth, integrative, and somatic therapist. We work with what lives in the body, what keeps recurring beneath the surface, and what your own knowing is already pointing toward. I don't believe my job is to help you adjust to a broken culture. I believe you already hold what you need.

I work with people who sense that something in their lives isn't fully alive yet. They're often outwardly capable and functional, but internally feel foggy, disconnected, or quietly dissatisfied. Many are wrestling with questions of purpose and identity, strained relationships, and the lasting influence of family dynamics. My role isn't to fix or rush. It's to slow down together and listen carefully to what's happening beneath the surface.

People often come to therapy when life no longer feels sustainable. You may appear functional on the outside — working, achieving, taking care of others — while privately feeling anxious, emotionally alone, overwhelmed, or stuck in painful relationship patterns. Therapy can become a place where we slow things down enough to better understand what your emotional life may be trying to communicate beneath the pressure to simply keep functioning.
