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

I provide confidential and non-judgmental consultations, referrals, and professional psychotherapy to individuals, couples, and groups. I am social justice oriented, philosophically-minded, and bring a mix of practical Western psychological, and Eastern spiritual approaches. I address a broad range of client concerns and multiple diagnoses including: anxiety, depression, isolation, stress, grief, and creative/spiritual blocks. 

The focus of my clinical work reflects my areas of interest and expertise including self-esteem, self-care, healthy relationships, coping with chronic illness (such as HIV/AIDS), substance ab/use, gender identity, and sexual orientation. 

I have been a clinical supervisor at The Liberation Institute, a grass-roots community mental health nonprofit started in San Francisco, for the past 10 years. Since 2018, I have acted as the clinical director of the Liberation Institute’s San Francisco location. Over the past decade, I have also mentored about a dozen therapists into licensure through associateship in my practice. I deeply enjoy working with therapists in training as they gain experience and come into their own fullness as healers in their own right.

A few interesting things about me: I love to read! Particularly historical fiction, science fiction, mystery, fantasy, and horror novels. I have been married for 10+ years, and am a queer parent of a spunky preschooler. I love art and have recently enjoyed experimenting with photography; especially of nature. I am a California native and have lived in Los Angeles, San Francisco, and Humboldt County.
