About
I find it truly rewarding to help those who are struggling mentally.
I am a board-certified Psychiatric Mental Health Nurse Practitioner with over 6 years of experience, including 5 years dedicated to psychiatric care. I specialize in supporting individuals facing challenges such as depression, anxiety, and bipolar disorder. I am passionate about providing compassionate, evidence-based care tailored to each person’s unique journey. My goal is to empower clients to achieve stability, improve their quality of life, and rediscover joy in their daily experiences.
I hold a Doctorate in Nursing from Frontier Nursing University. My approach combines empathic listening with motivational interviewing to create a safe space where clients feel understood and supported. By helping individuals recognize their strengths and guiding them toward meaningful change, I support lasting growth and resilience.
I welcome clients to connect with me in a supportive and collaborative environment, whether in person or through convenient telehealth visits. My care is designed to help individuals find balance, build resilience, and improve their overall quality of life. Together, we can work toward a stronger sense of peace and well-being.

As an immigrant woman of color, I personally understand the profound challenges of navigating life’s obstacles, especially when it feels like you’re facing them alone, without support, or disconnected from others.

OCD counseling is a specialized therapeutic approach aimed at supporting individuals coping with obsessive-compulsive disorder (OCD). The goal of this counseling is to help clients manage and alleviate the distressing symptoms of OCD by systematically addressing their obsessive thought patterns and compulsive behaviors.
In OCD counseling, Thriveworks San Francisco therapists use cognitive behavioral techniques, including exposure and response prevention, to assist you in addressing and managing your obsessive thoughts and compulsive behaviors. An OCD therapist will collaborate with you to identify and modify irrational thought patterns while gradually and gently exposing you to anxiety-triggering situations, helping to disrupt the cycle of obsessive-compulsive rituals and promote healthier coping strategies.
Thriveworks OCD counseling in San Francisco, CA is conducted both in person and online by video. We encourage you to choose the option that works best for you.
The number of sessions for OCD counseling is variable, contingent upon the individual’s unique needs, the severity of their condition, and their progress during treatment. Typically, Cognitive behavioral therapy (CBT), commonly used for OCD, comprises around 12 to 16 weekly sessions, but the exact session count can be customized based on the individual’s response to treatment and therapeutic objectives. Some opt for a more extended duration to comprehensively manage symptoms and address complex issues.
