Hello! I am a licensed marriage and family therapist with an office in San Francisco by Divisadero and California. I have my doctorate in Depth Psychology from Pacifica Graduate Institute. I earned my Masters in Counseling Psychology from the California Institute of Integral Studies, where I am an adjunct professor; my secondary teaching credential from University of San Francisco, and my bachelors from Sarah Lawrence College. I have been working with adolescents and adult individuals as a licensed therapist since 2014, and began as an intern in 2008. I work with trauma, especially early trauma, grief, anger, depression, chronic pain and anxiety. My work is direct and gentle, often looking towards the body as a resource from which to draw strength and connections. I believe you and will never rush you to share your story. I believe that healing comes through connecting with another person, a pet, nature, and oneself. I see myself as a guide and a supporting presence as you begin or continue on your path. Most significantly, Ella is my co-therapist. If in-person, she will happily sit by you or in her bed during sessions.
