Our Therapists Dublin, CA

Founder . Licensed Marriage & Family Therapist (#110319)

You don’t want a therapist that just nods & “mhmms” while you talk. You want someone that really gets you, gives concrete feedback, and helps you make the changes you want to see.

I’m a little sassy, use a lot of humor, and will inevitably swear in sessions. Consider me your fellow journeyer, hope holder, and joy discoverer. I believe that if we’re successful, I’ll eventually work myself out of a job. That means our therapy sessions keep our initial goals in mind, and we’ll check in on our progress together to get you closer to the life you want.

I pair insight with practical tools, offering both compassion & straightforward feedback. We’ll laugh together quite a bit along the way. I’m a big believer in finding ways to reclaim joy in your daily life, and we’ll do the same in our therapy together.

I use a variety of evidence-based approaches to help my clients make change in their life. I teach practical, effective tools that help you better manage your feelings & relationships outside of sessions. I love using Internal Family System (parts work) to instill deeper self-compassion and gently create change from stubbornly held patterns. I utilize EMDR to heal the ways past traumatic experiences interrupt your life now. I love the Enneagram personality model for personalized growth paths.

Licensed Clinical Social Worker

You've recently entered a new life stage. You're questioning yourself, confused about how this season of transition affects who you are. Despite your best efforts, you're struggling- overwhelmed with self-doubt, second-guessing, and fear.

You want to move forward in a healthy way, but don't know how.

You're looking for a space to figure things out as you grow into your identity, determining what to keep from your family, experiences, and past, and what to leave behind. You’re trying to say goodbye to parts of the person you've always been, while determining who you want to be going forward.

I have a heart for providing therapy for women, (with a special interest in working with BIPOC women), as they learn how to hold confidence in themselves, navigate relational challenges, and life transitions.

I hope to co-create a space where you feel seen, heard, and equipped to live your life on your terms. I look forward to coming alongside you in discovering the unique empowerment you hold to craft the life you want.

You’re not looking for fluff — you want tools that actually work. You’re used to handling a lot and doing it well, but lately the stress and anxiety have been creeping in and starting to take over. You might feel a little unsure about starting therapy (totally normal), and you want someone who won’t rush you but will help you make real progress.

I work with teens and young adults who are feeling overwhelmed, stuck in self-doubt, or caught in the grind of perfectionism. I lMy approach is down-to-earth, supportive, focused on practical strategies with plenty of humor. Therapy is an investment in yourself, and I’m with you every step of the way.

Once things start to feel more manageable, we can explore where all that pressure and that loud inner critic came from — and what life could look like with less of both.

I love working with high-achieving teens, college students, and young adults navigating life transitions, anxiety, and relationship challenges. I see clients in our Dublin office or online, serving the Tri-Valley area including Danville, Pleasanton, San Ramon, Dublin, and beyond.
