Get To Know Me
If you could pick one movie or book that influenced your approach to therapy, what would it be and why?
The film, "Good Will Hunting" with Robin Williams and Matt Damon. Minus the obvious boundary crossing; I think the film was a beautiful introspection on what it feels like to be stuck, going through the motions, and the challenges of initiating change in life. I think it also does a great job of showing how a strong therapeutic alliance can help people address their barriers to change, fears, and presenting challenging/symptoms.
What would be important for someone to know about working with you?
I believe in and practice anti-racist, anti-oppressive, and body positive clinical treatment. I believe in work that centers the ability for clients to access freedom and joy. I believe in helping clients access play and humor in their live and in therapy.
I accept OON Benefits, offer sliding scale options, and have limited insnurance slots for private insurance through Headway.
What’s the most profound, insightful, or interesting thing you’ve learned as a mental health professional?

Work HistoryI currently split my time between a group private practice where I provide telehealth services and a nonprofit mental health organization local to my area providing school-based therapy, community mental health programming, grant management, and trainings.
Prior to these current experiences, I have worked at the county level in mental health providing therapy and case management to young people and families impacted by the foster care system and foster-to-adopt systems. I've worked with adults (including couples and families) diagnosed or impacted with intellectual and developmental disabilities and mental health challenges; most of clients being on the Autism Spectrum and/or neurodiverse. Both of these experiences were in Sonoma County. Prior to Sonoma County, I have provided services in the Bay Area (East Bay and San Francisco) in school-based therapy as well as nonprofit therapy working with teens, adults, couples, and groups.
