About Me

I am a lifelong student of the human experience. This work continually encourages curiosity, active listening, and presence. Above all, it requires the humility to recognize that each person's story is unique, that we are always learning from one another, and that there is rarely a single "right" answer..

​

Therapy is informed by discovery rather than knowing. Every person brings a unique perspective, history, and way of making sense of the world. My role is not to tell you who you should be, but to understand who you are and help you build a life that reflects your values, strengths, and hopes for the future.

​

Since 2004, I have had the privilege of providing individual and group psychotherapy in a wide range of settings, including homes, schools, hospitals, skilled nursing facilities, and outpatient clinics. I also have extensive experience helping individuals and families navigate moments of crisis in adult, pediatric, and emergency care settings. Those experiences continue to shape the way I listen, collaborate, and support people through life's challenges.

​

For nearly fifteen years, I served as a psychotherapist, clinical supervisor, and staff instructor supporting the Adult and Child Psychiatry Departments of Kaiser Permanente in Oakland, CA. Working alongside an exceptional multidisciplinary team, I provided care for children, adolescents, adults, couples, and families while mentoring clinicians and contributing to the training of future mental health professionals.

​

These experiences have deepened my appreciation for the many ways people grow, adapt, and heal throughout life. They continue to shape my work today and my belief that meaningful change begins with feeling genuinely understood and respected.
