Hi! I'm Devon. Thanks for stopping by. I believe therapy should be strive to be an authentic and enjoyable experience. I value and prioritize authentic communication. Ideally, I want your sessions to feel like you're having a friendly conversation while endeavoring to find pragmatic and helpful ways to approach your concerns. Your emotional safety along with trust, warmth and honesty are deeply important to me.
My passion is helping adolescents and adults realize healthy perceptions of themselves while developing resilient habits and lasting coping strategies.
I am a SF native with over 20 years as a clinician and director of multiple community based organizations and tech startups. Additionally, I am an avid Bay Area sports fan, professional photographer, aspiring globe trotter, and unabashed performer of dad jokes.

Therapy for women in their 20s and 30s, experiencing • anxiety • work stress/burnout • body image/disordered eating.
Do you feel stuck in patterns that no longer serve you? Maybe you’re a people pleaser who defaults into putting other people’s feelings and needs first. Or you’re experiencing burnout from trying to uphold perfectionist standards. Or you’re a high-achiever on the emotional rollercoaster of tying all your worth to your work. Or you want to stop stressing about what you eat and how much you weigh, but the idea of letting go of control is terrifying. I'd love to help!
Hello...thank you for visiting. I am a graduate of Pepperdine University's Masters in Clinical Psychology program with an MFT emphasis, and did my undergraduate studies at the University of California - Santa Barbara. I am also a member of the Psi Chi International Honors Society in Psychology, am trained in Gottman Method Couples Therapy, and have experience working with a range of therapeutic approaches, including Attachment Theory, Narrative Therapy, Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), Family Systems, Positive Psychology, Emotion Focused Therapy (EFT), and Mindfulness models.
In my therapy practice, I’m here to truly see you and meet you where you are. I offer research-based (read: effective with positive outcomes) therapeutic approaches for individuals, families, and organizations, with a focus on creating a space where you feel understood and supported.
