Meet your therapist

My therapeutic style is described as warm, authentic, and collaborative. I am trauma-informed in all my practices and systems which includes providing a space that celebrates LGBTQIA+ identities. My hope for my clients is not just simply to achieve moments of happiness. Rather, it’s to offer them the chance to move freely through their full range of human emotions, which truly give life it’s meaning.

I have had the honor of serving a diverse range of populations dealing with issues ranging from substance use disorders, domestic violence, and system involvement/foster care. This range of experiences have fortified my ability to support in all seasons of life whether in a moment of crisis and in times of deep growth and reflection.

When I’m not seeing clients in my practice, I’m working at Edgewood Center’s Hospital Diversion Program, providing short-term therapy to adolescents and their families. These adolescent clients, who come from all over the Bay Area, usually struggle with low self esteem, mood disorders (like anxiety or depression), or engage in risky behaviors (drug use or self harm).

Outside of the office, I enjoy spending time practicing yoga, camping and surfing along the Northern California coast, and cooking up delicious meals for loved ones!
