My style is warm, intuitive, relational, and heart-centered. I hope to create a safe space for my clients to be as honest and authentic as possible.

My Background

I have been working as psychotherapist since 2010. In 2011, I earned a Master’s Degree in Counseling Psychology from the California Institute of Integral Studies in San Francisco. I interned at two community counseling centers in San Francisco for over three years, doing therapy with adults and adolescents around a range of issues such as depression, anxiety, grief, substance abuse, trauma, relational issues, and eating disorders. I also provided play therapy for at-risk children for two years at a Kindergarten through 8th grade charter school in San Francisco. In addition to my private practice, I worked for three years as Lead Therapist at The Lotus Collaborative, a recovery center specializing in eating disorders.

My training has been focused in relational psychodynamic, humanistic-existential, and transpersonal approaches, and I use a blend of these modalities when sitting with clients. I love facilitating groups and believe strongly in the power of group therapy to elicit radical transformation and growth. I feel passionate about empowering people to love and accept themselves. By putting clients back in touch with their core feelings and true desires, I strive to help them live more fully and genuinely. 

I currently have a full-time private practice seeing clients virtually and in-person in Oakland and San Francisco. I work with individuals, couples, and groups. In addition to psychotherapy, I provide individual and group supervision to therapists in training at Pierce Street Integral Counseling Center and the Marina Counseling Center in San Francisco.
