Role at Evergreen: Clinician, Clinical Director, Supervisor

Even when it seems like we have it all together on the outside, we can feel anxious, sad, hurt, and unmotivated on the inside. Whether you are struggling with issues related to a new transition or a long-term condition, I am committed to creating a safe and comfortable space to help you feel and live better. I will assist you in getting to know yourself, and exploring current issues and past wounds, so you can experience healing and growth. You will be guided through the process of changing self-defeating thoughts and patterns and will learn how to move forward with more confidence. You will develop the ability to create the life you deserve and the relationships you want.

Why I do this work

It was my personal, life-changing experience with meditation and therapy that led me to pursue a career in which I could help to empower others to achieve balance and fulfillment in their own lives. I believe every person possesses the inner strength and resources necessary to achieve happiness and self-fulfillment, however, there are times when we may need extra support and guidance in order to access it. I encourage clients to be more present, loving, and compassionate with themselves while gaining the tools to manage and alleviate symptoms of anxiety and depression, trauma, relationship issues, stress, and anger. I identify as a queer woman of mixed race/ethnicity and am LGBTQIA+ affirmative. I welcome clients from all cultural backgrounds and identities.

The best part of my job

The best part of my job is the bittersweet goodbye at the end of treatment when the client has achieved their goals and we determine that weekly therapy sessions are no longer needed. I cherish the therapeutic relationships I build with clients. Getting to know someone, being a part of their healing journey, and witnessing the changes they make throughout their therapy experience is an honor. Often, external circumstances have not changed, but the way a client relates to themselves and others as they navigate the challenges of life have changed significantly.

How I spend my free time

On the weekends, I enjoy long rides on my road bike all over the Bay Area with my partner, friends, or bike club. I love hiking, museums, architecture tours, and discovering new restaurants and boba tea shops.
