Licensed Clinical Social Worker in San Francisco, CA

About My Clients

Do you feel weighed down by the impact of past trauma or difficult experiences—intrusive memories, a body that won’t relax, ways of coping that no longer serve you, or relationship patterns that feel hard to break? You may be feeling disconnected and overwhelmed, but healing is possible. I specialize in therapy for trauma and relationship issues that supports safety, relief, and lasting change. As an LGBTQ+, poly-, and kink-affirming therapist, I offer a space where all parts of you are welcome.

My Background and Approach

I specialize in trauma including abuse, neglect, and other difficult experiences you may have experienced a long time ago or more recently. I also work with people who are struggling with relationships, anxiety, depression, feeling stuck, or who are exploring their gender identity. Maybe you're feeling disconnected and overwhelmed. Maybe you're concerned about ways you're coping, or keep finding yourself stuck in painful relationship patterns. I will work with you to build self-compassion, to find new ways of caring for yourself, and to make changes that support you in building the life you want to live. Our work together may include Attachment-Focused EMDR, parts work, ketamine assisted therapy, DBT skills learning, and somatic and expressive arts practices. I've been certified in Attachment-Focused EMDR since 2020 and in Ketamine Assisted Therapy since 2022.

My Personal Beliefs and Interests

My work is informed and inspired by my lifelong commitment to pursuing social justice. I bring an anti-oppression lens to my practice and seek to come from a place of cultural humility. I believe that healing ourselves as individuals, healing our communities, and healing our world are inextricably intertwined.
