Are you a smart, out-of-the box thinker? I value curiosity, connection, and compassion when it comes to lifestyle, gender, sexuality, relationship, spiritual practices, and every other form of individual expression. I am committed to meeting you as a unique individual and offering support whatever your challenges. My hope is that you will leave our sessions feeling heard, strong and hopeful. I use various modalities, including Rapid Resolution Therapy to address what may be blocking desired change.

I draw from Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), Mindfulness, Exposure and Response Prevention (ERP), and Acceptance and Commitment Therapy ( ACT) to help you recognize what's getting in your way - whether it's unhelpful thought patterns.
I am a Licensed Clinical Social Worker who believes therapy can be a place for deep healing and human connection. I offer a warm, non-judgmental space where we can explore your life with honesty, compassion, and humor. My style is direct yet supportive, and I value helping you feel understood while also gently challenging what's no longer serving you.

I support adults (18+) who feel stuck in life transitions and unsure of their direction and relationships, work, parenting, or identity. Many are high functioning but experience anxiety, stress, overthinking, and difficulty making decisions. Clients often seek therapy when they notice recurring patterns that no longer feel right but feel uncertain about how to change them.

Do you crave deep connection, yet struggle to build relationships that feel truly meaningful and sustaining? Are you caught in a relentless cycle of juggling career and/or parenting, leaving you stuck in a state of chronic overwhelm? As a Bay Area native, I intimately understand the unique pressures of our fast-paced, achievement-oriented culture. In an environment that constantly demands perfection, it is incredibly common to find yourself battling anxiety, exhaustion, or quiet struggles with self-worth and body image. You don't have to navigate this alone.

As a therapist, I believe change occurs through relationships; the relationship we have with our Self, others and the environment around us can greatly shape how we feel day to day. I foster a therapeutic relationship that allows a safe, non-judgemental space for reflection, insight and growth. Life can bring all sorts of challenges and difficulties, and I am privileged to help people get unstuck. My work focuses on helping adults and teens navigate major life changes, work through challenging childhood experiences, and change our relationship to unwanted feelings of anxiety and depression.

I am a licensed clinical social worker. Considering therapy is a big step, and it’s completely normal to feel nervous or unsure, especially if it’s your first time or if you’re facing something new. Opening up about yourself and your emotions can feel vulnerable and overwhelming. I want to acknowledge any hesitation you may be feeling and assure you that you're not alone in this. My goal is to support your goals, and I strive to create a safe, welcoming space where you can feel truly heard and supported.

Welcome! If you’re feeling overwhelmed, burned out, stuck in old patterns, or disconnected from yourself or others, you don’t have to carry it alone. I work with clients who are navigating anxiety, trauma, relationship stress, and the pressure of being first-gen or the “strong one.” As a trauma-informed, client-centered therapist, I offer a supportive, judgment-free space where your experiences are honored. Together, we’ll gently uncover what’s holding you back and build tools that fit your life. You set the pace—because healing should feel safe, empowering, and rooted in being truly heard.

For myself, I've found therapy to be a deeply safe relationship from which I could gain new perspectives on my challenges and have another set of caring eyes help me to identify my strengths. This is, of course, difficult. But it is also relieving and can lead to immense growth and healing. Therapy can help you experience joy more deeply and approach emotional pain more honestly, and, therefore, productively. It can help you to make choices that lead you closer to yourself and the life you want. I am deeply committed to supporting my clients in their own unique version of this process.

“Between stimulus and response there is a space. In that space is our power to choose our response. In our response lies our growth and our freedom.” This quote by Viktor E. Frankl constantly inspires me and is one representation of how I approach therapy. I believe in the strength of our minds and the importance of our behaviors. With this, therapy has the power to transform lives, and I am dedicated to helping individuals navigate their mental health challenges with warmth and a personalized approach.
