Services

I offer psychotherapy in person in San Francisco and online across California.

My approach

Therapy can be a place to slow down, get curious about what's happening beneath the surface, and make room for parts of yourself that haven't had much space to exist.

My approach is warm, relational, and trauma-informed. I draw primarily from Gestalt psychotherapy, alongside somatic, humanistic, existential, and depth-oriented traditions. I see this work as inherently liberation-oriented: rather than treating you as a problem to fix, we get curious about how you've learned to move through the world, what those patterns have made possible, and what might be ready to change.

Sessions are collaborative. We might explore emotions and sensations in your body, recurring relationship patterns, dreams or imagery, or how family, culture, and systems of oppression shape your experience. My role isn't to be the authority on your life, but to bring my attention, training, and curiosity to the process of understanding it together.

What we can explore together

Anxiety, perfectionism & burnout

Feeling overwhelmed, overthinking, people-pleasing, struggling to rest, or trying to meet everyone's expectations. Together, we can explore the patterns beneath your anxiety and what it might look like to live with greater ease and self-trust.

Grief, loss & meaning

Living with the death of someone you love, supporting someone through illness, navigating anticipatory grief, or confronting questions about mortality and meaning. We can make room for the complexity of loss and explore what it means to keep living alongside it.

Identity, belonging & relationships

Navigating race, culture, gender, sexuality, family expectations, intimacy, or the tension between belonging and being yourself. Therapy can be a place to question inherited expectations and explore who you are beyond the roles you've learned to play.

Life transitions & finding your way

Moving through change, feeling disconnected from a life that once made sense, exploring creativity or spirituality, or figuring out what you want next. We can make space for uncertainty while you discover what feels meaningful and true to you.

Trauma, embodiment & emotional patterns

Understanding how past experiences shape the present, reconnecting with your body, and exploring patterns that no longer feel helpful. We can work toward a greater sense of choice in how you respond to yourself, others, and the world around you.

Our work can include the personal, relational, cultural, and systemic forces shaping your experience. You don't need to fit neatly into one category to begin.
