Counseling, to me, is a collaborative space where clients are empowered to explore, find their own path, and work towards their goals. I’m a queer, neurodiverse counselor, and while I am especially passionate about discussing gender, sexuality, and neurodiversity with clients, I enjoy working on a variety of concerns with clients of any identity or experience. Therapy with me often includes building self-awareness, learning and practicing validation, and challenging oneself to make desired changes at a realistic pace.
I work with adults and teens in individual and group therapy. I am currently accepting clients for individual therapy, as well as offering therapy groups. My current groups are DBT skills groups for queer clients. Please see my website for the most updated information about my group offerings and availability, to contact me, or to sign up for a group.
I am registered as an Associate Professional Clinical Counselor, under the supervision of Niki Khanna, LMFT 122099. Practicing through the auspices of Grateful Heart Holistic Therapy Center, a non profit organization providing psychotherapy to individuals (all ages), couples, families, and groups throughout the Greater Bay Area and the State of California.
