MY STORY
I am a licensed clinical psychologist specializing in individual psychotherapy for children, adolescents, and adults. With a background consulting in schools (the Lycée Français de San Francisco, Envision Education) and supervising therapists in various agencies, I offer a culturally humble and trauma informed approach to mental health support. My personal experiences with immigration also colors my clinical approach and how I listen to your narrative.
Rooted in a psychoanalytic framework, I explore the intricacies of your life story and how past relationships influence your current experiences. Together, we leverage the therapeutic relationship to facilitate significant and lasting change.

ABOUT THERAPY
Entering a therapeutic process resembles traveling to a new country. Each experience is and takes time to feel at home, often enhanced by the guidance of a local who helps you navigate the unfamiliar landscape.

PSYCHOTHERAPY WITH ADULTS
In sessions, we take the time to slow down and create a safe space for exploring your thoughts and emotions. Together, we will navigate your unique challenges, seeking different perspectives and transforming roadblocks into alternative paths. I believe that while there may not always be clear to our struggles, psychotherapy encourages curiosity and resilience in the face of complexity. My approach is tailored to your individual history and goals, blending a thoughtful yet playful style to support your journey toward a more fulfilling life.
PLAY THERAPY WITH CHILDREN
Children express themselves through play, which helps us understand their challenges and find solutions. I work closely caregivers and consult with schools as needed to ensure comprehensive support. Together, we create a nurturing environment for growth and healing.
