Welcome to my practice. I offer in-person and virtual psychotherapy for individuals of all ages, family therapy, and parent consultation.
Individual Psychotherapy
I offer psychotherapy to children and adults of all ages. I have experience working with trauma, anxiety, depression, grief and loss, relationship challenges, transitional life stages, identity development, and issues related to culture and race. I provide a warm, curious, and collaborative approach. I integrate tools from mindfulness and somatic approaches with talk therapy. In my work with children, I use art and play therapy techniques. My specialization in family therapy allows me to take a developmental perspective on issues that span every stage of life. My overall aim is to help you or your child to feel more connected, embodied, and free.
Parent Consultation
I also offer consultation to parents and caregivers. I believe that, with support, particularly difficult times can become some of the most transformative and rewarding experiences with your child. Parent consultation allows parents to better understand and work with their child’s behaviors, to connect and communicate with their child, and to harness inherent strengths in the family system. I use an integrative approach which includes child development and attachment theory. I am a certified provider of Child-Parent Psychotherapy (CPP) and trained at UCSF’s Infant-Parent Program.
About Me
I am a psychotherapist and clinical social worker based in the Bay Area. My training and scholarship has focused on psychodynamic theory, childhood development, and multiculturalism.
I received my Masters in Social Work from Smith College School for Social Work in 2018. I graduated from Stanford University as an undergraduate and contributed to research on Post-Traumatic Stress Disorder (PTSD).
I am licensed to practice in the state of California (LCSW #110150).
