About Me

I'm a Licensed Clinical Social Worker (LCSW #103508) and psychotherapist in San Francisco. I hold an MSW from USC and a BA in Psychology from Brown University. I completed a two-year post-graduate training program in depth-oriented psychodynamic therapy at the Psychotherapy Institute in Berkeley. I also have experience providing trauma-informed intensive outpatient and residential substance abuse treatment.My approach to therapy emphasizes developing a secure therapeutic relationship, attending to emotional experiences in session, and gaining insight into what parts of current issues may be rooted in past relational injuries and sociocultural trauma.My interpersonal style is non-judgmental, receptive, and empathic. I welcome you to come as you are.
