Hi, I’m a therapist located in downtown Menlo Park, and I’m passionate about walking alongside people as they move through growth, healing, and self-discovery. I work with adults, teens, children, and families, offering a warm, collaborative space where you can feel safe, supported, and truly heard. My approach is rooted in a humanistic, person-centered philosophy and shaped by evidence-based practices that I tailor to meet your unique needs and goals.

I work with clients facing both everyday stressors and more complex emotional challenges, and I believe each person has the capacity for resilience, healing, and meaningful change. My role is to help you reconnect with your strengths, deepen self-understanding, and move through difficult experiences with greater clarity, stability, and self-compassion.

I’ve worked in a variety of settings outside of my work within private practice, including intensive outpatient programs (IOPs) and schools, supporting clients through different stages of their mental health journeys. Before becoming a therapist, I spent years working as a litigation paralegal at large law firms. That experience gave me firsthand insight into the intense pressure and high expectations faced by professionals, especially in fast-paced environments like Silicon Valley.

I’m a Bay Area native, born and raised in Fremont, CA, and a proud graduate of Mission San Jose High School. I earned my B.A. in Sociology from UCLA, where I also competed as a Division I athlete on the Women’s Soccer Team. I later completed my Master’s in Education with a focus on Counseling at San Jose State University.

When I’m not working, you’ll usually find me outdoors jogging, hiking, or spending quality time with my family and friends.
