Hi there, I'm Missy!

I’m a Licensed Clinical Social Worker based in the San Francisco Bay Area, certified by the American Case Management Association and licensed by the California Board of Behavioral Sciences. I’m here to offer you a safe, compassionate space to explore your experiences, reconnect with yourself, and find healing.

My focus

I work best with individuals who are ready to engage in thoughtful, collaborative therapy—people who may feel overwhelmed, stuck, or simply in need of support as they navigate life’s challenges. My ideal clients are often facing issues like anxiety, depression, trauma, grief, chronic illness, or major life transitions, and are seeking strategies.

My approach

I work with individuals facing a wide range of challenges, including depression, anxiety, trauma, grief and loss, chronic illness, major life transitions, and relationship issues. My approach integrates evidence-based practices like CBT, Behavioral Activation, Solution-Focused Brief Therapy, and mindfulness tools tailored to your unique needs.
