I am a licensed clinical social worker and psychotherapist with over 15 years of professional experience in San Francisco. My practice integrates evidence-based cognitive-behavioral therapy with mindfulness practices to address anxiety, depression, relationship challenges, and life transitions. With a master's degree from UC Berkeley and a background in both community agency settings and private practice since 2011, I help clients cultivate present-moment awareness to enhance personal and professional effectiveness. My approach emphasizes creating a safe, non-judgmental space for adults of all ages to explore their unique challenges.As a former elite athlete and coach, I offer specialized sports psychology support for those seeking peak mental performance. I maintain active membership with the National Association of Social Workers and have integrated mindfulness meditation into clinical practice for over a decade. My downtown San Francisco office provides convenient access via public transportation, with home visits available for seniors facing mobility challenges. I combine clinical expertise with practical experience from diverse fields including information technology and health psychology community development.
