About My Clients

Everyone deserves to understand where their behaviors come from and how these behaviors impact our relationships to ourselves, others and our kids. I provide care to individuals, couples, parents and teens experiencing stress, conflict, loneliness or overwhelm in life.

My Background and Approach

I’ve had the privilege to work in Bay Area social service programs for over a decade, and have provided counseling to individuals, couples, children and families. I have extensive experience working with traumatized and marginalized communities and specialize in family systems and attachment. I feel honored and humbled to be a therapist every day. I love helping people make the changes they need to live more authentic, connected and fulfilled lives. I hold a Master’s degree in Social Work from the University of California, Berkeley and am a Licensced Clinical Social Worker in the state of California. As a therapist of color, I actively work to be anti-racist and culturally sensitive. I believe it is essential to my practice to assess the ways issues of race, culture and intersectionality impact our lives. I am passionate about working with folks in reflecting on the ways that power, privilege and systems of oppression impact the way we move through the world.

My Personal Beliefs and Interests

As a therapist of color, my practice is grounded in continually assessing issues of race, culture and intersectionality, and I actively work to be anti-racist and culturally sensitive. I am passionate about working with individuals and families in reflecting on the ways that power, privilege and systems of oppression impact the way we move through the world. I believe that all healing occurs within the context of safe and predictable relationships and community, and everyone can change and grow at any time in their lives. On a personal note, I trust in the power of humor, a good cup of coffee, and cat cuddles. If you'd like to learn more about what I do, I invite you to reach out.
