Starting therapy can feel empowering, confusing, or even intimidating—and it’s worth taking a moment to recognize the courage it takes to take this first step toward caring for your mental health. I strive to create a safe, supportive, and welcoming environment where you can explore challenges related to anxiety, depression, self-care, and more. My goal is to help you strengthen communication and boundaries with yourself and others so that you can improve your quality of life and move toward the future you envision. Therapy is not just about overcoming obstacles—it’s also about personal growth. Together, we’ll clarify your goals and identify strategies to help you move toward them, whether that means change over the next month, six months, or a year. You’ll leave our sessions with practical insights and “next steps” you can put into action right away. I believe life’s purpose isn’t simply to be happy, but to find meaning—and within that meaning, joy emerges. While the journey isn’t always easy, it can be transformative. I am a Licensed Clinical Social Worker, Certified Addictions Professional, Internationally Certified Drug Counselor, and Behavior Analyst. I take a strength-based approach, helping you use your unique abilities to address challenges. I integrate Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), Interpersonal Therapy, and Motivational Interviewing to empower you in creating lasting change. Most importantly, I bring a relaxed, compassionate, and trustworthy presence, fostering a therapeutic relationship where you feel safe and supported.

You may find yourself repeating the same patterns, feeling overwhelmed by emotions, or struggling to move forward despite your best efforts to make a change. Whether you're dealing with anxiety, depression, an eating disorder, substance use, or the lasting effects of trauma, you don't have to navigate these challenges alone. I provide compassionate, trauma-informed therapy focused on helping you understand the deeper roots of your struggles, develop healthier ways of coping, and break free from patterns that no longer serve you. I believe healing begins when you feel safe enough to be yourself, understood without judgment, and supported as a whole person rather than defined by your symptoms or past experiences. My goal is to help you build a stronger relationship with yourself, find greater balance in your life, and create meaningful, lasting change. You don't have to stay stuck in the same cycles or figure everything out on your own. If you're ready to better understand yourself and move toward a healthier, more fulfilling life.

By way of background, I have lived in the Bay Area for the past twenty years, having previously spent my childhood in the Pacific Northwest and my adolescent years in New England. This broad geographical background gives me a well-rounded perspective. Professionally, I worked as a domestic violence counselor before spending over ten years as a Child Protective Services social worker. After taking time away from my career to care for my two children, I am now eager to return to the workforce. In my personal time, I enjoy CrossFit, traveling, and spending time with my family and friends.

Life Transitions
Do you feel like you’re running on empty, constantly asking yourself, “Why does everyday life feel so exhausting, and why can’t I just get it together?” When the gap between where you are and where you want to be widens, it’s easy to slip into self-doubt, burnout, and the nagging sense that you’re falling short of your potential. Navigating a major life transition—like stepping into parenthood, managing a career pivot, or moving through a divorce—can shake your foundation and push your bandwidth past its limit. When your mind feels constantly overloaded, daily tasks can start to feel like impossible mountains. Here is what you need to know: you are not broken, and you are not failing. My approach is warm, deeply collaborative, and grounded in real life. I don’t sit back and nod in silence while you drown in the overwhelm. Instead, we look directly at the areas where you feel like you’re hitting a wall. Together, we roll up our sleeves to lower that wall, breaking big hurdles into small, manageable steps that actually fit the way your mind works. There is zero room for shame or judgment here. You don’t have to put on a front, apologize for losing your train of thought, or pretend you have everything figured out. This is a supportive space to bring the messy, unfinished drafts of your life, rebuild your self-trust, and find steady ground on your own terms. Ready to stop fighting yourself and start making real progress? Reach out today to schedule an appointment.

Are you feeling stuck, disconnected in your relationships, or noticing patterns that you don’t fully understand? You may be wanting to explore deeper—unpacking core beliefs or unresolved experiences that are impacting how you relate to others and to yourself. This process of gaining insight and gently challenging those patterns can be a meaningful step toward healing and growth. I have experience working with BIPOC individuals, women navigating anxiety, depression, and low self-esteem, and individuals experiencing challenges with emotion regulation. I also support clients who are working toward feeling more like themselves again—reconnecting with a sense of balance, clarity, and emotional grounding. Finding a therapist who feels like the right fit is an important part of the process. If what you’re reading resonates with you, I would be honored to support you in this work. Our sessions—whether weekly or biweekly—are a dedicated space for you to slow down, reflect, and focus on your needs. My current availability is during daytime hours, between 9:00 AM and 2:00 PM, and I am not offering evening appointments at this time. I look forward to walking alongside you in your healing journey.

Warm greetings, I’m a Marriage and Family Therapist, and I feel strongly that each of us deserves a space where we can feel seen, heard, understood, and accepted for who we are. Originally from the beautiful island of Saipan in Micronesia, and having spent many years living in Hawaiʻi, my own journey as a third-culture kid has shaped the way I see the world and connect with others. It has given me a deep appreciation for the ways our culture, family, relationships, and sense of belonging shape who we are and how we experience life. With over 15 years of experience in the behavioral and mental health field, including nine years as a clinician, I have had the privilege of working alongside individuals, couples, and families through life's challenges, transitions, and moments of growth. My approach is warm, compassionate, and collaborative. I believe you bring your own strengths, wisdom, and capacity for change, and my role is to walk alongside you as you navigate your experiences, discover new perspectives, and create meaningful change. I know that beginning therapy can feel vulnerable, and I hope to offer a space where you can come as you are, feel comfortable being yourself, and know that you don't have to figure everything out on your own. It is truly a privilege to be invited into your life and to be part of your growth journey.

I've worked at premiere facilities such as Hoag Hospital and the Betty Ford Clinic. Previous to becoming a therapist, I worked as a substance abuse counselor. I'm duly licensed as an MFT and substance abuse professional. Working with the underlying mental health issues which have driven addictive tendencies as a coping mechanism have been a specialty. I have experience working with veterans and their families, and I'm from a law enforcement family. I'm also part of the LGBTQIA+ community. I have been practicing polyvagal theory and it's interventions to address anxiety and depression, as well as bipolar disorder. It's been a critical touchstone in helping clients to conceptualize a healthier way of functioning. I'll help you to understand the window of tolerance and to start paying attention to your dysregulated states.

Frequently asked questions

When looking for online therapy, you can see anyone that is credentialed in California. We want you to find the best fit, therefore, Grow Therapy shows available therapists across California from San Francisco to San Diego! If you’d rather see someone in-person, you can change the filter from virtual and find a therapist near you in California.

Yes! If you use Evernorth you’ll be asked to verify your Member ID at the time you book the appointment. However, if you don’t have Evernorth you can select cash. Our therapists will have their cost of appointment on their profile. Individual session costs will vary.

The specialty filter is optional. You don’t need to check any boxes to see a provider. However, fit is very important when selecting an online therapist. If you have knowledge or experience to recognize what specialties you may need.

Finding a provider with a similar life experience can be beneficial because it can be easier to establish rapport and potentially be understood quicker and clearer.

Your first therapy session is for you and your therapist to meet each other and to ask any questions that you have about the counseling process. This is where you can expect your therapist to do the same as they will ask questions to gain insight into your specific situation. In this first session the therapist is doing their part to gather as much information so they can better assess if they are able to meet your therapeutic needs. Depending upon your provider's specialty, you may also discuss the methods the therapist will use. For additional information on therapy methods, please visit the Grow Therapy Help Center.Some people feel nervous before their first appointment, and that is totally normal! Coming prepared with a list of questions for your therapist may help. Remember, you're taking a brave step by seeking therapy, and it is okay to be nervous as you try something new.
