Welcome To Our Team

I am a Licensed Marriage and Family Therapist in my hometown of San Jose, CA. I attained both my bachelor’s degree in Psychology and Masters in Counseling from John F. Kennedy University. Prior to entering the field of psychotherapy, I spent 12 years in Corporate Marketing, Communications, and HR project management. I have personal experience with stressors and issues impacting the corporate workforce, especially in Silicon Valley.  My knowledge of the business world and psychotherapy allows me to connect with working professionals and couples who find it difficult to balance work and family life, while sustaining their mental health. 

Within the field of psychotherapy, my clinical expertise is in gender-affirming care as well as neurodivergent-affirming care.  I work predominantly with patients who are exploring their gender identity and/or are formally or self-diagnosed Autistic/ADHD/2e.  I support patients and their families through the gender transition process (social, medical, psychological) as well as grief associated with the journey.  Including and beyond this focus area, my caseload includes general LGBTQ support, kink interests/communities, addiction, transition from IOP/PHP, self-harm and suicidal ideation, sexual trauma, anxiety/depression, grief/loss, women’s/men’s issues, spirituality, court mandated sessions, and general life transitions.
