Online Therapy throughout the SF Bay Area & California for LGBTQ+ Adults and Second Generation Immigrants
With online therapy, you can still experience the benefits of the therapeutic relationship, tailored insight, and my warm, inviting presence from the comfort of your own home.
Online services are available to high-achieving, over-performing, and people-pleasing LGBTQ+ adults and adult children of immigrants across the state of California, including the San Francisco Bay Area, East Bay, San Jose, Los Angeles, and beyond.
What To Expect With Online Therapy
With virtual therapy, you can settle into your internal world while tending to other needs that might not otherwise be possible in an office, like sitting with your heating pad, petting your beloved animal during session, or sipping a fun beverage from a beloved mug. My practice of honoring you where you are in your life—literally and emotionally—is felt through the screen.
For my neurodivergent, Covid cautious, and chronically ill and disabled clients, virtual therapy allows them the ease to take care of themselves without compromise.
For my high-achievers and professionals with busy schedules, online therapy gives them the flexibility to take an hour—sometimes the only hour—out of their day to regulate, rest, and return to themselves.
Whether you’re in Oakland, Berkeley, San Francisco, San Jose, Los Angeles, or elsewhere in California, I offer LGBTQ+ adults and second generation immigrants a warm, energizing, and engaging virtual space where all you have to do is bring yourself.

With online therapy, we meet through a secure video platform using the same link each week for ease and consistency. You have the flexibility to take these sessions wherever you are in California.
Whether we’re focusing on easing your anxiety or uncovering relationship challenges, you can expect the same level of emotional engagement, depth of insight, and playfulness from me regardless of meeting virtually or in person.

Online therapy has been shown by research to be just as effective as in-person therapy for most concerns, including anxiety, depression, interpersonal conflict, and relationship stress.
Online therapy makes mental healthcare more accessible to people living outside of the San Francisco Bay Area, such as in Modesto, Nevada City, Tahoe, Monterey, and Los Angeles. My clients in the South Bay Area, such as Palo Alto, Mountain View, and San Jose, prefer online therapy because the commute is not something we want to add onto an already busy life!
Online therapy is also a more sustainable option for clients who:
don’t have access to public transportation or a car
have a chronic illness or disability
are COVID cautious
have busy schedules that can’t accommodate getting into an office
Many of my clients prefer online therapy simply because they can take their sessions from the privacy and comfort of their own homes.

Yes, the fee for virtual therapy and in-office therapy in Oakland are the same. My fee is $230 per 50-minute session.

I use Zoom for online therapy. You’ll get a unique link that is specific to our sessions that we’ll use every time we meet. I have intentionally opted out of all of Zoom’s AI tools to protect your privacy.

No, I do not use any AI in my practice with online therapy.
