Licensed Marriage & Family Therapist
Compassionate, curious, and relational therapy
in San Francisco, and by telehealth across California.
Welcome
I draw from a humanistic, strength-based approach that looks at the whole person, focusing on your strengths and what makes you unique. Whatever brings you here, therapy is a place to be met with warmth and without judgment.
Much of my work centers on grief and the meaning we search for after loss, shaped by years as a bereavement counselor with a hospice agency, alongside the relationships and transitions that shape a life. Together we make room for what's hard, so you leave each session feeling a little more grounded and a little more yourself.
Areas of focus
Support through bereavement, anticipatory grief, and the losses that don't fit neat timelines, at whatever pace feels right for you.
Work on connection, communication, and repair, for individuals and couples navigating change, conflict, or distance.
A thoughtful space to explore faith, purpose, and identity, and how they shape the way you move through the world.
Support through the changes that reshape daily life, expected or not, so you can move through them with more steadiness.
Tools and a steady presence for the worry and overwhelm that can make it hard to feel settled in your own life.
How I work
My approach is integrative and trauma-informed, blending humanistic and person-centered therapy, strength-based and positive psychology, CBT, narrative, psychodynamic, family systems, and somatic work, tailored to you rather than the other way around. I work with adults, adolescents (14 and up), couples, families, and groups, and my care is LGBTQI-affirming and BIPOC-affirming.
Taking new clients
Reaching out is often the hardest step. A brief first call can help us decide, together, whether we're a good fit.
