In therapy I meet you where you are in discovering new ways of belonging to yourself and feeling more ease connecting with others. My presence is straightforward, playful, warm, and I invite the time you need to show up in therapy in your own way. My approach is informed by relational somatic healing, attachment theory, and I offer an insight oriented psychodynamic lens. In addition to integrating the richness of teaching and studying therapeutic yoga for two decaceds, I nurture an ongoing commitment to my healing journey and I bring a 25 year long career working to support those experiencing marginalization due to structural inequality, war, and forced migration both locally and globally.

I work with:

* individuals, couples, parents and their adult children, and youth ages 10-18.

Some of my areas of focus include:

*major life transitions, anxiety, depression, anger, chronic illness/pain, intimacy and communication, sexual trauma, early childhood developmental trauma, issues stemming from oppression and privilege, co-dependency, shame, postpartum depression, and issues relating to parenting/motherhood/birthing people and spiritual growth, ancestral healing and intergenerational trauma.

I am a trauma informed, anti-racist, and LGBTQ+, kink, and gender queer-affirming therapist. My fee is $170/50 minutes for individuals and currently $200/60 minutes for couples.

Therapy is offered in person in the Mission district in San Francisco or online. Call the number below or email me to set up a 15-minute consultation for us to connect.
