Welcome. I am a psychotherapist working with the YMCA Youth Service Bureau in San Mateo County, serving teens, adults, and families. Whether facing particular issues of stress and addiction or existential questions of life direction and purpose, I am here to support you.
Therapy requires a strong foundation of trust, which I aim to foster with a calm and genial presence. I follow your lead in exploring your experiences and history to help you foster a deeper understanding of your life story: the moments, habits, and themes that have made you who you are, and what motivates you to become who you want to be.
The journey towards healing and wholeness can feel immense; to manage the process, we can create obtainable goals to pursue between sessions to help you remain accountable to your overall purpose. If this sounds of interest to you, feel free to reach out to me by email or phone.

Every person is a world onto themselves, full of honored and disowned visions of what it means to truly be oneself. Together, we will explore your inner landscape deeply and broadly, creating opportunities to resolve conflicts, compulsions, and wounds. Insight alone does not guarantee growth or healing, but can inspire new possibilities for greater health and wholeness.
