I am born and raised in the Bay Area. I began my career as a para-professional working with families of children with developmental disabilities.

I am trained to provide evidence based treatment in a flexible manner.

Making the time for yourself to feel happier, to alleviate stress or anxiety, to find meaning in your life or to improve your relationships; these are some of the reasons why people decide to enter therapy.

I enjoy working with individuals and families to help you achieve your goals.

My practice focuses on the unique needs of children 4+ through young adulthood and their families. I create developmentally appropriate, customized treatment plans using Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT) strategies, art and play therapy interventions.
