I know firsthand that being human is messy, beautiful, and full of contradictions. My own path has been shaped by doubt and uncertainty, missteps and growth, laughter and tears; all of which deeply inform my approach as a therapist.

Before becoming a therapist, I spent over a decade working as an engineer in the tech industry, including ten years at Google. That experience gave me valuable skills in systematic thinking, but it also showed me how easy it can be to disconnect from our inner selves. My healing journey has been about bridging the gap between intellect and emotion, mind and body, structure and intuition — and finding meaningful connection in both my work and life.

This desire to connect more deeply with others led me to pursue a Master’s in Integral Counseling Psychology at the California Institute of Integral Studies. Since then, I’ve continued to expand my training in approaches such as Gestalt, Internal Family Systems, Solution-Focused Therapy, Somatic Awareness, and Ecotherapy. My work is grounded in the belief that personal healing is intimately connected to the world around us.

My professional background also includes extensive work with the high school population, which deepens my commitment to supporting adolescents as they navigate identity, social pressure, and academic demands while reconnecting with their authentic selves.

As your therapist, I show up as my authentic, real, and fully present self. I believe healing flourishes when you feel truly seen, heard, and understood. I'm here to walk alongside you — not as an expert on your life, but as a fellow traveler on this complex and meaningful human journey.

In our in-person work, I also offer the option of including my thearpy dog, Audi, as a clinical support. Audi is a professionally trained therapy dog through Canine Companions with years of specialized schooling. She serves as a highly skilled clinical partner and can be integrated into our sessions if it feels supportive to your healing process.

Outside of therapy, I love strolling outside with Audi and surfing when I get the chance. I read a lot of fiction, meditate regularly, and am slowly (and joyfully) learning to play the piano.
