Hey there! I’m Summer and I’m a Licensed Marriage and Family Therapist based out of the San Francisco Bay Area. I work with children, adolescents, adults, and families, serving all of California virtually through Telehealth. In my practice, I take a collaborative, client-centered, and strength-based approach toward healing. Honoring each client’s personal needs and intersecting identities is one of my top priorities and creates a foundation for my work. Through incorporating expressive arts, mindfulness, and embodiment, I empower you to explore and identify the patterns and behaviors that are no longer serving you. Being a therapist brings me so much joy, and I feel that it’s an honor and a privilege to walk with people during their most vulnerable moments.

Welcome! I am a Licensed Marriage and Family Therapist. I provide Telehealth services, throughout the state of California. I enjoy working with people who are emotional caretakers, in their intimate relationships, with their family members and friendships. They take on too many responsibilities, with not knowing how to say no to others. They are doing ALL*THE*THINGS, to please everyone, they self sacrific their own needs, and they themselves are emotionally and physically exhausted daily. They want to find a work-life balance, but struggle hard to imagine how to even begin to do this. I also help those who are in narcissistic abusive relationships, and want to end their toxic relationship. This is where I come in, to help clients find their voice, learn how to identify their feelings, needs and wants, and to communicate it, in their relationships. I work with clients on learning how to build boundaries, to prevent returning to old behaviors and patterns, that have kept them stuck, tired, anxious and not living the life they dream of. I am a big advocate for self care; emotional, physical and spiritual. I love helping clients develop their own self care plan, so they can care for others, while prioritizing and caring for themselves. 

From social media to global crises, there are a great deal of forces influencing how we see ourselves. It is normal amidst all of this change to feel anxious, depressed, hopeless, and overwhelmed. Therapy can help these parts of you feel seen and heard free of judgement or shame. Together, I hope to help you foster coping skills, boost self-confidence, set and meet goals, and improve the relationship you have with yourself and others. You are not alone in what you are facing. I will work with you to compassionately tend to the parts of you that feel like they are suffering in order to help you create a path forward.  My passion is helping individuals reconnect to themselves and the world around them. To take care of our minds is to take care of our physical and spiritual health.  I have a special interest in serious illness, life transitions, palliative care, caregivers, women’s health, infertility, grief, and how nature and the outdoors can promote mental well-being. I love hiking, running, kayaking, and being with animals. Attention to the outdoors, physical movement, and the mind-body connection informs my clinical work with clients when appropriate. I graduated from The Silver School of Social Work at New York University as a Zelda Foster Palliative and End of Life Care fellow. I previously worked at Memorial Sloan Kettering Cancer Center, where I helped patients, caregivers, and healthcare staff navigate the complexities of serious illness and palliative care.

I have talked with many people who have tried every solution they can think of to bring relief to areas of life that feel stuck. I would love to sit down with you and discover what that has been like for you. Together we can work through the dynamics, emotions, and thoughts that have been the cause of such hurt or difficulty and bring a greater sense of peace and control. My focus is to listen deeply to my clients, bring awareness to their needs, and find a path toward positive change in meeting those needs. Whether I'm working with individuals, couples, or families, I help each person find their voice and understand themselves better. I have a demonstrated track record for increasing insight, deepening emotional awareness, and responding to people with sensitivity and empathy. It is my heartfelt desire to come alongside individuals, couples, and families helping to unlock a variety of life's challenges. ** I offer in-person sessions (with precautions per Los Angeles County guidance). I also offer services by video or phone. **

As a compassionate and dedicated Registered Nurse with a passion for mental health, I have spent my career providing quality patient-centered care, with competent skills in assessments and evaluation, medication management, and treatment planning. I recently passed the board examination and have earned my Psychiatric Mental Health Nurse Practitioner Board Certification (PMHNP-BC). With over 3 years of experience, I have worked in diverse healthcare settings, providing complex medical and psychiatric care. My passion for mental health has led me to behavioral health nursing, focusing on patient assessments, crisis intervention, de-escalation techniques, and patient education on coping skills to manage mood disorders, anxiety, PTSD, and other mental health conditions. I am bilingual in English and Spanish, allowing me to connect to a broader patient population offering care that is culturally competent. I recently graduated from the PMHNP program at MSOE University, where I built a strong foundation in mental health. My goal is to become an Advanced Practice Registered Nurse in mental health providing high-quality, stigma-free care to individuals in need. I am particularly interested in addressing the needs of mental health in underserved communities and advocating for better access to care and services.
