Find a therapist in San Francisco, CA — covered by insurance

I earned my master's in social work from California State University, Bakersfield, and I work with adults navigating anxiety, depression, trauma, and the strain that relationship or family conflict can put on daily life. Many of the people I work with are stuck in loops of overthinking, self-criticism, or reactive anger — I help you name what's actually driving that pattern so it stops running the show.

You may look like you have it together, but inside you feel exhausted, overwhelmed, anxious, or trapped in your own thoughts. You replay conversations, struggle to quiet your mind at night, or carry experiences you rarely talk about. You've learned to keep functioning while bearing the weight of it all. As someone who has been on the other side of the badge and now serves as a licensed clinician, I understand what it means to bring difficult experiences home with you. When accustomed to being strong for everyone else, therapy can be where you finally take care of yourself. Let me help you quiet the spiral and reclaim your life.

As a former law enforcement officer, licensed clinical social worker, and current children’s social worker, I bring both professional training and real-world-experiences to therapy. I understand that asking for help can make it uncomfortable-especially for people who are accustomed to being the one others depend on.
