I’m a Licensed Marriage and Family Therapist based in San Francisco, and I feel incredibly fortunate to do this work. My path to becoming a therapist wasn’t a straight line. It’s been shaped by my own experiences with therapy, a desire to help others make sense of the complexities of being human, and a deep curiosity about people - our patterns, how our brains work, why some people seemed to have it all together and others, like myself, seemed to always be winging it.

I grew up in New York City and have lived in SF for the past 20 years. Like many of my clients, I’ve wrestled with questions of identity, belonging, and how to feel at home in myself and in my relationships. Feeling different, even among those closest to me, shaped how I understand connection, disconnection, and the courage it takes to show up as your full self. My own time in therapy helped me see these experiences in a new light and inspired me to help others find that same clarity and growth.

Before becoming a therapist, I spent years working in the IT field, with roles in investment banking, advertising, and tech. On the surface, it might seem like a big leap from those fast-paced environments to the therapy room, but what I learned about systems (how they function, how they break down, and how much goes on inside and on the backend of them) continues to inform my work. I approach therapy with an eye toward both the personal and the bigger picture: your relationships, your history, and the cultural forces that shape your story.

Outside of my work as a therapist, I’m passionate about wellness in its many forms. For me, that includes exercise, mindfulness, yoga, and staying connected to communities that bring meaning and service into my life. These practices have taught me about balance, which is something I believe is just as important for emotional health as it is for physical well-being. I often encourage my clients to explore what balance looks like for them, in ways that feel sustainable and nourishing.

In the therapy room, I bring warmth, curiosity, humor, and a practical sensibility. I know how hard it can be to reach out for support, and I aim to create a space where you can feel seen, heard, and genuinely cared for as you navigate whatever challenges you’re facing.

If any of this resonates, I’d love to connect and see how I can support you.
