I am a psychodynamically trained Licensed Clinical Social Worker (LCSW) with over a decade of experience supporting individuals from diverse backgrounds. After earning my Master’s Degree from the Smith School for Social Work in 2016, I have dedicated my career to helping clients address a wide range of challenges in settings such as community mental health, street outreach, and private practice.

Currently, I focus on private practice, where I provide compassionate and effective support for clients navigating various challenges, including anxiety and related concerns. My approach integrates psychodynamic principles with evidence-based practices to create a personalized therapeutic experience.

In my career, I’ve held various roles that have enriched my understanding of human behavior and the complexities of mental health:

• School Social Worker at San Francisco Unified School District, serving both elementary and high school students.

• Intensive Case Manager for individuals with severe mental illness, providing critical, hands-on support.

• Clinician at the San Francisco Department of Public Health and the Homeless and Supportive Housing program, addressing complex needs in underserved communities.

• Social Worker for the Human Services Agency, helping individuals and families navigate systemic challenges.

This diverse background equips me with the experience and insight to connect with clients on a deep level, fostering trust and collaboration in our work together. I am passionate about creating a space where clients feel seen, understood, and empowered to make meaningful changes in their lives.
