My Story

I'm an Associate Clinical Social Worker (ACSW #117463) and therapist practicing under the supervision of Carol Masters-Salnave at Grounded Psych in Rockridge, CA. My work is grounded in a deep commitment to supporting people as they navigate the complexities of life with care and curiosity.

I bring experience from community mental health settings, where

I’ve worked with individuals across the lifespan. I also have experience

and training working with families, people with disabilities, BIPOC,

LGBTQIA2S+ folks, and neurodiverse populations.

I honor each person as the expert of their own experience and believe

in our innate capacity to heal, grow, and thrive. Therapy with me is

collaborative and relational—we move at your pace, centering your

needs, values, and goals.

​

My practice is trauma-informed and rooted in somatic and relational

approaches. I draw from modalities such as Dialectical Behavior

Therapy (DBT), Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT), somatic

therapy, psychodynamic therapy, and mindfulness to support you

through a wide range of experiences: including life transitions,

trauma, relationships, identity exploration, chronic illness, depression,

grief, and anxiety.

Our work together is a space to resist isolation, reclaim your truth, and

move toward collective and personal liberation. I believe healing is not

just individual—it's deeply connected to the systems we live within. In

therapy, we can name and challenge the forces that cause harm, while also nurturing the parts of you that seek joy, connection, and possibility. At the core of my practice is a belief in your inherent worth—your value is not conditional, and you never have to earn the right to take up space or be fully yourself.
