As a therapist, I work with adults who have experienced depression, anxiety, trauma, family issues, domestic violence, and addiction, and who want to build a life worth living.
My approach as a therapist is affirming, collaborative, Strengths-Based, and tailored to each client I work with. I focus on providing a judgment-free zone so that clients have space and support to work on their personal goals. I hope to build a strong relationship with each client because I believe that a strong relationship is important to our ability to work together and helps to strengthen the client's ability to reach their goals. Therapy can sometimes be hard work and often means facing difficult experiences from our past. My hope is that I am providing a space where the client never feels alone in the process.

I specialize in anxiety, stress & trauma therapy for adults.
Life doesn’t look or feel the way you thought it would. Maybe anxiety is holding you back and making your world smaller. Or perhaps, you've noticed patterns in your life & relationships (overwhelming emotions, feeling empty inside, procrastination, people pleasing), and you wonder why you respond and feel the way you do. You are tired of living like this and are ready to create a positive change.

I work with adults and couples to understand the despair of anxiety, depersonalization, and isolation - the insight into trauma, abuse, and abandonment we develop is often the reason that clients work with me for longer periods of time.
Although most people are depressed or angry at times, they generally find a way to deal with the situation. There are times, however, when a person loses hope or is overwhelmed. They or others decide they might use some help. Sometimes a woman or a man decides that they would like to adjust their life style and emphasize their sense of self. If you work in Silicon Valley, I can use my experience in industry to help you unblock your potential and design effective strategies for greater satisfaction. If you seek spiritual depth, my years as a guide may help unfold meaning.

I specialize in working with motivated adults, in particular folks in the LGBTQ, immigrant, and/or BIPOC communities.
Something has you feeling off... You are a hardworking adult who gives it your all. You want to feel good, connected, & supported. But instead, it never feels good enough! You are exhausted & overwhelmed day & night. You find yourself constantly running on empty or on edge. Simple tasks like scheduling and eating feel like chores. You can’t even enjoy a night out if it happens at all. You get along with others, and so many people and communities rely on you. Yet, you feel like you don’t belong, or those you love don’t really see you. Let’s not even start with our society and world.
