I work with teens, adults, couples and families. My specialities are working with clients who are experiencing mood disorders including depression, anxiety, and bipolar disorders) substance use, relationship conflicts & gender or queer identity exploration. I aim to help my clients develop internal resources, behavioral strategies and a support system, which allows them to build lives worth living.
I use dialectical behavioral therapy, cognitive behavioral techniques, narrative and somatic therapy. I support clients in challenging black & white thinking, balancing acceptance and change and finding social support and adaptive behaviors that align with their goals and values.
I am a queer & non-binary clinician based in the Bay Area. I help my clients find life satisfaction, self-worth, adaptive coping skills, and meaningful relationships.

I primarily work with clients with mood disorders (including depression, Anxiety and bipolar disorders), histories of trauma, substance use disorders and problems in their relationships. During our initial sessions we will collaborate on the treatment plan. Most of my clients will see gradual changes in their symptoms in the first 4-6 weeks and will experience continuous progress thereafter.

I often use Dialectical Behavioral Therapy (DBT) in my clinical work but I value using a variety of interventions with clients. In your initial session, I will inquire about why you are seeking therapy and how you would like therapy sessions to be structured. I will tailor the therapeutic experience to the individual client by using interventions that match the client's needs.
