Are you seeking a kind, down-to-earth, goal-oriented and experienced professional therapist? Many of my clients are also young professionals seeking someone who gets it. Originally from Southern CA, I began clinical practice in LA after attending the USC School of Social Work. Since 2014 I have lived in the Bay Area and worked mainly with clients at well-known tech companies. I have over a decade of clinical experience in consultation-rich and quickly evolving environments like Kaiser Permanente and the SF Stress and Anxiety Center. I can help if you're struggling with imposter syndrome, perfectionism, stress or anxiety.

I find fulfillment in working with individuals and families of varied backgrounds, socioeconomic statuses, and cultural identities. It brings me great joy to learn from the people I work with about their unique experiences, while also collaborating with them as a team to understand their specific needs and individual journeys.

My style and approach to therapy is "keeping it real." I believe in providing individuals with real and insightful perspectives in dealing with everyday life problems. I enjoy working collaboratively with individuals to address concerns in their lives that are preventing them from reaching their optimal level. I believe that everyone has their own optimal level and this is just when you are at your best and feeling really good about yourself. I am skilled at working with relationship issues, adolescent developmental transitions, family problems, sports related concerns (self-esteem building and performance), and more.

We sometimes hit points in our life where we need extra support to examine ourselves/our relationships, acquire new skills/perspectives or learn how better cope through a difficult time. It can be intimidating to take this step in exploring your life and working towards change, and I want to make that journey as safe and beneficial as possible. I view therapy as an exploration process, where client and therapist collaboratively work together to create insight and positive change.

I believe you are the expert in your life. I believe the decision to seek therapy can be beautiful, and complicated because such is life. Healing isn’t linear and is a journey that can be filled with a variety of feelings and emotions–expansion, discomfort, learning, relearning, and unlearning. My goal is to co-create a space and container that will allow you to explore, discover, and tap into parts of yourself unknown to you. I am committed to using a healing-centered, trauma-informed lens and feel your journey of holistic transformation is unique and valuable.

My work is guided by the tenet, Life is Relationship. If we can trust our stories to a therapist, that therapeutic relationship can transform us. Self-acceptance, and calm return. I listen compassionately to others to understand what is inhibiting their motivation and self-confidence. I consider lifestyle practices, relationships, use of substances; healthy and unhealthy habits, and one's sense of belonging. My clients and I together identify what helps them change. Some practices and tools I use to guide my work are: talk therapy, Eye Movement Desensitization Reprocessing (EMDR), mindfulness and stress management practices derived from Yogic philosophy and practices.
