Therapy that meets you exactly where you are
Beyond traditional talk therapy, I'm also certified in sound healing,
trauma-informed yoga, and hold a Yoga Alliance certification; modalities I draw on to support healing in a more holistic,
whole-person way.
Licensed Marriage & Family Therapist
A journey of healing that led me to you
I believe therapy is a collaborative process built on trust, curiosity, and respect. My goal is to provide a supportive, nonjudgmental space where you can explore your experiences, better understand yourself, and work toward meaningful change at your own pace. Together, we'll identify your strengths, develop practical strategies, and navigate challenges in a way that aligns with your values and goals.
I've been practicing therapy for over 12 years, working with diverse populations from children to adults throughout the San Francisco Bay Area, in schools and in private practice.
