Great to meet you!

As an LCSW with over 13 years of experience in the Bay Area, I've had the privilege of sitting with people across every stage of life, from transitional-age youth to older adults, supporting their mental, emotional, physical, and spiritual well-being. Whatever brought you here, it matters. This can be a place to slow down, feel understood, and reconnect with yourself.

My approach to therapy

I believe you're the expert on your own life, and my role is to support you while we build on your strengths and add new tools for what feels overwhelming. Whether this means learning practical skills to manage intense emotions, processing past trauma at a pace that feels safe, or simply having a steady, supportive space to think things through.

What you can expect from me

Our first session is about getting to know you—your strengths, needs, what brings you to therapy, and what you hope to achieve. Together, we'll create a personalized care plan that supports your growth and goals.
