Explore the patterns, feelings, and experiences that shape how you relate to yourself and others. We'll work to understand what keeps you feeling stuck, make space for parts of yourself that may have been difficult to acknowledge, and discover new possibilities for living and relating.

Warm, attentive, curious, and direct. I bring compassion, honesty, and thoughtful challenges into our work. I strive to create a space where you feel genuinely understood while also being invited to look more deeply at yourself, your relationships, and the patterns that may be keeping you stuck.

Our first session is an opportunity for us to begin getting to know each other. I'll be interested in what brings you to therapy, what you've been experiencing, and what you hope might change. There's no pressure to tell your whole story at once. We'll begin wherever you are.

I've always been deeply curious about people—how we become who we are, how our relationships shape us, and how we find meaning in difficult experiences. I believe being genuinely seen and understood by another person can open possibilities for change that once seemed out of reach.

I work with individuals and couples navigating relationship difficulties, trauma, identity, grief, and life transitions. My practice welcomes people from diverse cultural backgrounds and LGBTQ+ communities. I offer in-person therapy in San Francisco and online sessions throughout California, including weekend availability.
