I believe we all have the capacity to heal. Whether you’re navigating chronic illness, anxiety, burnout, or relationship stress, healing often begins with connection - both with a therapist who truly understands you, and with your own inner world.

In my work, I prioritize a strong therapeutic relationship grounded in safety, collaboration, and deep understanding. I aim to create a space where clients feel supported enough to explore their values, goals, and the patterns that shape their lives.

Alongside this relational work, I help clients reconnect with their inner wisdom through somatic practices, mindfulness, narrative therapy, and, when appropriate, psychedelic-assisted therapy. These approaches support a deeper connection between mind and body, allowing insight, self-trust, and compassion to emerge organically.

My goal is to help clients navigate life’s complexities with greater resilience and authenticity - fostering a sense of agency, embodied well-being, and the freedom to live in alignment with who they truly are.

Specialties:

I offer Individual Therapy, Couples Therapy, and Ketamine-Assisted Therapy in San Francisco.

As a queer therapist with lived experience of chronic illness and chronic pain, I bring both clinical training and personal understanding into the therapy space. I’m especially attuned to the ways identity, health, creativity, and relationships intersect, and to how these experiences shape the way we move through the world. My work centers on helping clients reconnect with themselves with compassion, curiosity, and self-trust.

Being a creative is a core part of who I am. Outside of my work as a psychotherapist, I am an artist and singer-songwriter. I see creativity not only as expression, but as a vital source of resilience, meaning, and healing - and I honor the creative parts of my clients, whether or not they identify as “artists” themselves.

When I’m not providing therapy, I can be found writing/performing music, engaging in intentional movement (ideally outdoors!), or spending time with my partner and our dog. I am a San Francisco Bay Area native.
