History
Established in 2017.
I bring a deep sensitivity and nurturing approach to my therapy practice. I believe that we become who we truly are in a safe, welcoming, and loving environment -- free from judgement and imposed expectation. Working with me you can expect to feel unconditionally seen for who you are, and safely encouraged to explore the most challenging parts of your life.
In recent years, I have spent time as an on campus psychotherapist at both Gunn High School in Palo Alto and at Lowell High School in San Francisco. My time working with these populations has given me a unique understanding of teens and their emotional needs, particularly those under tremendous academic stress and those navigating adolescent life events and familial conflict.
My experience is in working with individuals, teens and their families, young adults, and with life transitions, anxiety, depression, and early childhood trauma.
