Traumatic Brain Injury (TBI) Therapists in San Francisco, CA
My practice is dedicated to supporting individuals facing stress and burnout in high-stakes professions—including medical providers, first responders, high-performing executives, and athletes. With nearly two decades of experience in trauma-focused research and clinical care, I bring a nuanced understanding of what it means to operate under chronic exposure to risk, responsibility, and adversity. I hold deep respect for the strength it takes to show up day after day—balancing the weight of these demanding roles with the complex, often unseen, challenges and joys of life outside of work.

Is one or more of your kids on the Spectrum or have the ASD/ADD/OCD triad? In your relationship, is one of you on the spectrum and one not and is that causing misunderstandings and problems? Are you on the spectrum and having trouble understanding the non-spectrum people and world around you? I can help you bridge differences and deal with conflicts and meltdowns in an empathetic and constructive way. Also, I work for with LGBTQ people and couples with a variety of mental health concerns like anxiety and depression. It's hard growing up different from your peers. It can cause low self esteem, crippling self doubt and anger.

“The doors to the world of the wild Self are few but precious. If you have a deep scar, that is a door.” – Clarissa Pinkola Estés. Healing often begins with what feels broken—grief, confusion, or a part of ourselves we’ve learned to silence. Whether it’s the imprint of trauma, a painful relational pattern, or a transformative experience that shifted your inner world, the work isn’t about fixing who you are. It’s about remembering, reconnecting, and reclaiming the Self that’s been there all along.

I initially specialized in treating PTSD, and trauma therapy continues to be one of my main passions. I have a diverse experience with a wide range of mental health/neurological disorders but more importantly, an ideal patient would be one who is open and willing to process difficult topics and memories as opposed to continuing to engage in avoidance (a short term bandage for a long term injury). I describe my style as collaborative, directive, and solution oriented, but also find power in allowing clients to process deep rooted issues in a non-judgmental way. **Please note I do not accept insurance***

I’ve worked with trauma survivors, providers, activists, people with ND/learning differences, traumatic brain injury ( TBI) & people changing their substance use.
I believe that we don’t heal & grow alone, we do it together. What brings us together? With therapy, it starts when you decide you want more support with changes you want to make, problems in relationships, circumstances you face or losses you grieve. Maybe you are feeling sad, anxious, distracted or stuck. Maybe you are burned out from work, care giving, activism or oppression. Maybe old coping patterns are causing new problems. Therapy happens in a space we build together to support your growth & healing. Together, we can explore your inner experience & the outer circumstances of your life, work & relationships.

The clients I work best with are often in a process of reevaluating their lives—whether they’re in recovery and ready to take a deeper look at what’s driving their patterns, feeling stuck in old patterns, or trying to make sense of past experiences. They might be struggling with imposter feelings, navigating transitions, or trying to reconnect with a sense of purpose.
Many come to therapy wanting to better understand themselves and live in a way that feels more aligned with who they truly are. I work well with people who are open to reflection and ready to explore what matters most in a grounded, collaborative space.
