For twelve years, I was a case manager and therapist at UCSF Citywide in San Francisco, working with adults navigating some of the most complex and painful circumstances people can face.

I’ve done this work in the many places people actually live their lives, in homes, on the street, and in clinics. I’ve seen how much gets carried, and how the ways we learn to survive often make sense, even when they’re causing us pain. Change, when it happens, often comes through relationship, honesty, and moments of real connection. It sometimes comes in ways that are quieter or more unexpected than people imagine.

I became a licensed LMFT in 2016 and began seeing clients in private practice in 2024. This chapter of my work gives me the chance to offer something quieter, deeper, and more spacious than what large systems typically allow.
