As an Associate Marriage and Family Therapist (AMFT) and Associate Professional Clinical Counselor (APCC), my goal is to provide a collaborative and nonjudgmental space where you feel truly seen and heard. I view our work together as a partnership, and I firmly believe that you already possess core strengths and insights needed to heal and thrive. Together, we will honor your unique story, understand your experiences, and build upon those strengths as we work towards areas of growth. Whether we are exploring deep-rooted patterns or building practical, day-to-day coping skills, we will work at your pace to achieve the goals that matter most to you. I utilize a client-centered, strengths-based framework, blending psychodynamic exploration with practical skills from modalities like Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) and Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT). My clinical background includes serving Bay Area youth and their families across individual, group, and crisis support settings. I have always had a deep commitment to supporting youth and families; prior to becoming a therapist, I had the privilege of working as a teacher and childcare provider. In my free time, I enjoy exploring the world through travel, spending time with my family, watching live music, and being outdoors.
