My therapy style is centered on meeting clients where they are and supporting them as they navigate their current challenges. I use a holistic mind-body connection within a person-centered framework. I also take a direct approach, gently confronting unhealthy patterns to help clients understand the roles they have played in their own lives. This process empowers clients to recognize their ability to change and fosters personal growth and healing. I firmly belief that everyone is capable of change when ready and I am honored to be part of the process.

Is work causing you anxiety, grief or depression? Either because of the job you currently have or because you are one of the thousands of Californians who have been laid off? Let’s face it, many modern workplaces are destructive to our mental health - especially in the “move fast and break things” culture of silicon valley and especially for queer folx, women, and people of color. In an effort to cope, you may be turning to substances, screens or other destructive patterns. You may be hesitant to seek help because you are afraid to show weakness. I understand. In my previous career as a tech executive I did that too.
