Are you not feeling like your usual self? Are stress, work, family pressure, relocation and/or life overwhelming you? Is there simply too much going on? Sometimes our brain won't turn off worrying, sometimes it is difficult to get out of bed or get a good night's rest, other times it is tough to buckle down and focus. If you'd like to feel more calm, more relaxed, less upset, and more happy - let's chat. Therapy can help - even if you're not sure how. I see mental health as part of one's overall wellness. My approach focuses not just on having fewer negative emotions, but also on experiencing more positive emotions.
I suggest tools that research has demonstrated are very effective for reducing suffering. I also assist you to see meaningful, practical change with compassion, warmth, and empathy with some sarcastic humor! But there is no cookie-cutter approach. We work together - openly and flexibly - to customize your therapy directly to your unique needs and strengths.
I frequently work with tech workers, high-achieving students and professionals, Bay Area transplants, immigrants, and those coping with imposter syndrome, perfectionism, procrastination, and with shame, worry or guilt. I have a particular skill in working with women, people of color, LGBTQ+ individuals and folks new to therapy. I welcome your questions!

Typically therapy consists of a blend of talking about what has happened since our last meeting and ongoing work on goals. I use analogies and sarcastic humor to put folks at ease, build trust, and share information about what research tells us about how our minds and bodies function. I'm always interested in conversations about the impact of culture, capitalism, and intersecting identities.

It's very normal to feel a little nervous when thinking about starting therapy and then beginning to get to know your therapist. I am very understanding of these emotions and focus on building trust and rapport so we can talk about some potentially difficult and private things in therapy. I also heavily favor feedback, so we can balance your comfort and your goals for change.
