Evidence-based, compassionate care for kids and teens

I am a licensed clinical social worker based in San Francisco and specialize in working with kids, teens and their parents. I believe in a collaborative, person-centered approach that recognizes the child and family as experts on their experience. I use evidence-based modalities to help kids and teens make progress towards their goals and build confidence in managing their emotions. I see patients virtually anywhere in California and New York, or in person in my San Francisco office.

I strive to offer a non-judgmental, warm and inviting space for your child and you. I welcome kids and families of all backgrounds and identities.

what to expect

  • consultation

    Book a free 15-minute consultation to chat about what your child is experiencing and see if I could be a good fit for your family.

  • intake & assessment

    This is a 50-minute session that most often includes both child and caregiver. We will discuss current stressors more in depth and begin to align around goals for therapy.

  • ongoing care

    This will look different for different people! We will discuss options during the intake, but ongoing care will include a combo of child sessions, parent sessions and/or joint sessions.
