Licensed Marriage and Family Therapist, LMFT 89898
My Background

I see clients in my private practice both online and at my office in downtown San Francisco located at 883 Sacramento Street. Since early 2020, I have been a clinical supervisor for pre-licensed therapists at the Bay Area non profit Greenlight Clinic, as well as offering sessions through Modern Health, an Employee Assistance Program. Each year I teach a 1 unit class at Golden Gate University’s Masters Program called Relational Abuse: Assessment, Treatment, and Reporting. I also periodically run support groups.
I can help you through various challenges, including life transitions, stress, burnout, anxiety, relationship/work/school issues, low self esteem/confidence, crisis intervention, traumatic events, survivors of sexual assault and their loved ones, spiritual and existential concerns, feminist psychology, and providing trauma-informed care. I have been working as a therapist since 2010, and became licensed in 2015. I support clients of all genders, sexual orientations, races/ethnicities, and religious backgrounds. My pronouns are she/her.
