I am a Licensed Clinical Social Worker (LCSW) with a PhD in East-West Psychology from the California Institute of Integral Studies. [Click here to learn more about my training in East-West Psychology at CIIS.]

I offer confidential, non-judgmental psychotherapy, consultation, and referrals to individuals, couples, and groups. My work is grounded in a relational, socially conscious framework and informed by both Western psychological traditions and Eastern contemplative approaches. I am especially interested in the ways mind, body, and meaning intersect in the healing process.

I work with a wide range of concerns, including anxiety, depression, grief, stress, isolation, and creative or spiritual blocks. My clinical focus reflects both my training and ongoing areas of interest, including self-esteem, self-care, relational well-being, chronic illness (including HIV/AIDS), substance use, gender identity, and sexual orientation. I aim to support clients in deepening self-understanding, strengthening internal resources, and cultivating greater ease and authenticity in their lives.

Alongside my private practice, I have spent over a decade in community mental health settings. I have served as a clinical supervisor at the Liberation Institute, a grassroots nonprofit in San Francisco, for the past 12 years, and as Clinical Director of its San Francisco site since 2018. I have also had the privilege of mentoring many clinicians through licensure, supporting them as they develop their clinical voice and deepen their therapeutic presence.

My work is shaped not only by clinical training, but also by a lived commitment to reflection, creativity, and care. I am a queer parent, and have been married for over a decade. I value time with family, reading widely—especially historical fiction, science fiction, fantasy, mystery, and horror—and engaging with creative practices such as photography, particularly of natural landscapes. Originally from California, I have lived in Los Angeles, San Francisco, and Humboldt County, places that continue to inform my sense of connection to land, community, and change.
