Honest, compassionate therapy—from someone who gets it.

Welcome! I’m glad you’re here.

For starters, I’m a San Francisco-based therapist offering individual and couples therapy, both in-person and virtually throughout California.

Before becoming a therapist, I spent over 12 years leading marketing teams in tech in and working as a career coach in San Francisco—after originally training as an attorney. I understand the pressure to keep everything together on the outside, even when things are unraveling inside. That lived experience, combined with my own 20+ year journey in therapy, is what drew me to this work.

I’ve been the client—I know how hard and how healing this process can be.

If you're ready to break out of old patterns and start showing up more fully in your life and relationships, I’d be honored to walk alongside you.

SUPPORTING:

Identity exploration

I work with clients navigating expectations, legacies, and systemic pressures. Whether you’re unpacking family-of-origin trauma or exploring how to belong without betraying yourself, this is a space to bring it all.

Life transitions

Whether you’re shifting roles, identities, or life paths, transitions can shake something loose. We’ll work to find clarity in the cloudiness, grieving both what’s ending and honoroing what’s beginning.

Relational healing

If you’ve been or are currently in a relationship where your voice, needs, or truth feel distorted or dismissed, therapy can help you reclaim your sense of self, restore boundaries, and learn to communicate from the heart.

"Compassion becomes real when we recognize our shared humanity." - Pema Chödrön

As a BIPOC therapist and LGBTQ+ ally, I bring a deep understanding of how culture, identity, and systemic forces shape our mental health. I work with many first- and second- generation immigrants who carry the complexities of intergenerational trauma, code-switching, and the pressure to succeed while never fully feeling seen.

Whether you’re carrying the weight of intergenerational trauma, navigating relationship struggles, or simply feeling stuck and unsure of your next step, I offer a warm, nonjudgmental space where all parts of you are welcome.

First-Gen Experiences

If you’re navigating the complex layers of cultural expectations and intergenerational dynamics, we’ll explore how family stories, unspoken emotions, and inherited pressures shape your self of self and how to claim your own path.
Highly Ambitious Professionals

If your drive feels both like a strength and a burden, we’ll look beneath the surface to understand the deeper fees, unconscious patterns, and early experiences fueling your sense of worth.
Entrepreneurs

Building a business can stir up unresolved issues around control, risk, and self-worth. Together, we’ll uncover these hidden dynamics so you can build a more grounded and resilient you.
Artists & Creatives

Your creativity often flows from a beautifully complex inner world. In therapy, we’ll honor that richness while working with self-doubt and internal critics, helping you express your authentic voice fully.
