Get to Know Me

Why did you become a mental health professional?

Growing up in San Francisco, I saw a tremendous amount of suffering. I have always felt a pull towards helping, and thought I'd be able to support others best through this profession!

What are your interests outside of work?

I love to spend time with my family outdoors, try new restaurants, cook, read, and watch movies with my husband.

What is one thing you do daily that supports your well-being?

I journal, meditate, and read with my children (two boys - ages 4 and 1) before bed. I love it!
