Therapist

Welcome! I’m a licensed psychotherapist who is warm, intellectual, direct, and authentic. Working with me tends to feel insightful, grounding, and nonjudgemental. I have 10 years of experience in mental health and social services in various capacities, including leadership positions. Before becoming a therapist, I went to art school and was a researcher in the public sector. This informs my therapy practice, as I have a deep understanding of intersecting systemic barriers. I’m able to hold deep complexity in an individual and a system and approach my work with creativity. I have my Bachelors of Arts from the University of California, Berkeley and my Masters of Science in Clinical Rehabilitation and Mental Health Counseling from San Francisco State University. I’m a Certified Rehabilitation Counselor (CRC) and a Certified Vocational Evaluation Specialist (CVE). I've also been extensively trained in EMDR, trauma-informed, existential and person-centered therapy.

I work with children, adolescents, and adults navigating anxiety, depression, trauma, grief, and life transitions! I am also experienced in supporting individuals facing relationship challenges, identity development, and difficulties with emotional regulation. As a Queer therapist, I'm passionate about working with the LGBTQ+ population. I am drawn to this work because I value the depth and resilience within each person’s story. My approach is grounded in attachment-based theory and informed by evidence-based practices, including Cognitive Behavioral Therapy.
