About My Clients

I specialize in healing from impostor syndrome, self-criticism, and burnout. I welcome fellow caregivers experiencing compassion fatigue and vicarious trauma. I offer a compassionate and nonjudgmental space for you to shift thinking patterns and improve your relationship to self and others. I look forward to witnessing your healing journey!

My Background and Approach

Over the past six years, I trained as a clinical social worker in Colorado, Washington, and California. I completed a fellowship in clinical social work at the University of California, Berkeley. I currently practice as a therapist in the Bay Area. My clients have given me positive feedback on my warmth, encouragement, intersectional approach, and insight. You can book a visit by clicking on my website link (booking through Headway).

My Personal Beliefs and Interests

In times of disorienting sociopolitical changes here and around the world, I am leaning into my values of empathy, connection, and justice. In my clinical experiences speaking to people who call the suicide Lifeline, low income folks working hard to support their families, and college students navigating personal growth in unprecedented times, I recognize that our mental health is very much shaped by our sociopolitical systems. Many of these systems are tilting in a direction of hostility and violence. While therapy cannot be a substitute for systemic change, I think of it as a space of refuge where you can experience safety and support. I believe these are the key ingredients to creating a culture of care.
