my EXPERIENCE

I’ve worked in the mental health field since 2010, supporting people through vulnerable, challenging, and transformative seasons of life. Over the years, I’ve worked as a therapist, program supervisor, and clinical supervisor in a variety of settings, supporting individuals from diverse racial, cultural, religious, and socioeconomic backgrounds, including members of the LGBTQ+ community.

Early in my career, I provided psychotherapy to students at The Juilliard School in New York City, and later spent eight years at a Bay Area nonprofit supporting children and caregivers navigating significant emotional and behavioral challenges. That work deeply shaped my understanding of family dynamics, parenting stress, and resilience. As a parent myself, I understand not only the clinical frameworks, but also the emotional complexity and daily realities of parenting.

Today, I primarily work with millennials and Gen Z, busy professionals, and parents who feel overwhelmed, burned out, or disconnected from the life they want to be living.

Before becoming a therapist, I spent seven years working in national television media advertising and sales in New York City. I know firsthand the pressure of high-achieving environments, long hours, constant performance expectations, and the quiet burnout that can build over time. That experience allows me to truly understand the internal tug-of-war between ambition, responsibility, and well-being. I don’t just understand it clinically—I’ve lived it.
