Individuals

Whether you’re in the middle of a big change or can’t quite name what feels off, we’ll work together to understand what’s happening underneath and find a more intentional way forward.

Couples

For partners who want to feel close again. We’ll create room for the conversations that usually end in a fight, give voice to what’s been hard to say, and help you find your way back to each other.

Families

Family can be the hardest place to feel understood. When conversations keep going sideways, we’ll explore the patterns that keep repeating and build new ways of communicating and relating to one another.

Groups

It can be a relief to hear your own story in someone else’s. Groups offer a supportive space to share what you’re carrying, practice honest connection, and turn isolation into shared strength.

What brings you here?

Self-Discovery
& Identity

Exploring who you are, understanding longstanding patterns, reconnecting with your values and desires, and developing a stronger sense of self, purpose, and authenticity.

High Achievers, Perfectionism & Professional Success

Working through perfectionism, self-criticism, people-pleasing, difficulty slowing down, and the feeling nothing is ever quite enough. Navigating career changes, the impact of AI, layoffs, IPOs, sudden wealth, shifting priorities, questions of identity, purpose, and what comes next.

Grief &
Unexpected Change

Working through the loss of a person, a relationship, a job, or a version of life you expected. Making space for grief in all its forms, and finding your footing when life takes a direction you hadn’t anticipated.

Relationships, Connection & Loneliness

Untangling the patterns that show up in friendships, dating, partnerships, marriage and divorce, and family. Exploring attachment and boundaries, making sense of feeling lonely even around others, and building more meaningful connections.

Pregnancy, Postpartum, Loss & Menopause

Creating space for the emotional complexities of pregnancy, miscarriage and stillbirth, abortion, fertility challenges, difficult reproductive decisions, perimenopause and menopause, including the mood shifts, sleep loss, and identity questions it can bring, along with the grief, uncertainty, and complicated feelings that can accompany these experiences.

Parenting, Family & Aging Parents

Helping parents work through the everyday challenges of raising kids, and navigating the transition to parenthood through pregnancy, surrogacy, fostering, or adopting. Holding the weight of caring for aging parents, shifting family roles, intergenerational patterns, and the competing needs that come with caring for others.
‍

Addiction &
Compulsive Behaviors

Exploring your relationship with alcohol, cannabis, and other substances, or with behaviors like gaming, gambling, sex, porn, shopping, or scrolling, with curiosity rather than judgment. Whether you’re seeking sobriety, cutting back, or simply wanting to understand your patterns, we’ll work toward goals that fit you, drawing from both harm reduction and abstinence-based approaches, and look at what the habit has been doing for you. I bring experience from my work in a residential addiction treatment center.
‍

Trauma, Anxiety,
Stress & Overwhelm

Making sense of painful experiences, past or recent, that still shape how you feel and react today. Understanding the worry, tension, and racing thoughts that make it hard to feel at ease, and slowing down to notice what they’re trying to protect. Together we’ll build a steadier sense of safety in your body and relationships, at a pace that feels manageable.
‍

Autoimmune
& Chronic Illness

Living with an autoimmune condition, chronic pain, or an illness others can’t always see. Making room for the fatigue, grief, and uncertainty of a new diagnosis or a long road of appointments, and the frustration of feeling dismissed. Together we’ll find ways to relate to your body, your limits, and your changing sense of self with more compassion.

Working with me

Often we know we want something to be different before we understand what needs to change. Or we have a sense of what needs to change, but need help finding a path through the weeds. That’s where we’ll start.

My work draws on relational, psychodynamic, and Gestalt therapy. In practice, that means:

Our relationship is part of the work. We’ll build a secure, grounded connection where you can be seen exactly as you are. How we relate in the room often shows us something about how you relate everywhere else.
We’ll look at what shapes you. Together we’ll explore the beliefs, early experiences, and relationships that quietly influence how you move through the world, so old patterns become choices instead of reflexes.
We’ll slow down and notice what’s happening now. Rather than only talking about your past, we’ll pay attention to what you’re feeling, thinking, and sensing in the moment. That’s often where real change begins.
Change unfolds at your pace. We’ll use what we discover to try new ways of understanding yourself and connecting with others, moving toward the life you want to live.

Some practical details to help you get started

Pricing per session

A 50-minute individual session is $175. Couples and families can choose a 50-minute session for $175 or a 75-minute session for $220.

Online and in-person

I'm currently meeting clients online through the end of 2026. I'll begin seeing clients either online or in-person at our San Francisco office at the beginning of 2027. We're a few blocks from 16th and Mission BART.

Professional background

I'm a graduate of the Wright Institute in Berkeley, California where I received a Master of Arts in Counseling Psychology. I have an undergraduate Bachelor of Science in Industrial and Product Design from the College of Architecture and Urban Studies at Virginia Tech. My work is informed by both of these experiences.

I'm a Registered Associate Marriage and Family Therapist (AMFT 165900) and Registered Associate Professional Clinical Counselor (APCC 24096), employed by Joe Latuga Psychotherapy & Coaching and supervised by Joe Latuga, LMFT 127359.

What brought me here

I found my way to clinical work after a 15-year career in tech as a Product Designer and Design Director. My transition grew out of a deepening interest in human connection, self-understanding, and noticing the patterns that shape how we move through the world. I'm grateful to have found work that allows me to bring these interests into a meaningful, collaborative, and attuned process with others. I value the ability to mix skills I learned early in my career, including creative problem solving, process awareness, clear communication, and systems-thinking, with qualities I've nurtured in my personal life, like empathy, compassion, humor, and a willingness to remain present in uncertainty and discomfort.
