My ideal client is someone feeling overwhelmed by life changes, emotions, or identity questions. They may be dealing with ADHD, anxiety, depression, low self-esteem, grief, or relationship transitions. They want clarity, confidence, and a safe space to be themselves. Many hope to understand their feelings, improve daily functioning, and build healthier relationships. LGBTQ+ clients may seek support in living authentically and finding acceptance. Neurodivergent clients may seek assistance and comfort.
Therapy anywhere in California, based in San Mateo. I work with adults & teens on ADHD, anxiety, depression, grief, and loss and more. As an LGBTQ+ affirming therapist, I help clients embrace their authentic selves and live true to who they are.
I truly understand that taking the leap into therapy isn’t easy. I always say, “therapy is like shopping for shoes. It isn’t one size fits all, and some shoes aren’t a good fit- and that is okay!” My practice is affirming and inclusive for clients of all identities, backgrounds, and abilities.
