I am a licensed Marriage and Family Therapist. I offer individual, couple, and family therapy to adult clients - I also enjoy working with preteens/teens!  In my work with clients I explore individual factors, family dynamics/patterns (historical/current), and social factors (privilege, marginalization) as they relate to presenting problems (anxiety, depression, emotional dysregulation, etc.) Additionally, I work from a decolonial, intersectional feminist, and social justice lens. I see clients as the expert in their lives and collaborate with them to better support them in leading their best lives.   If you have any questions about me or the work I do, please book a 15-20 minute free phone consultation with me!  

I am a licensed practicing psychotherapist in California with 20 years of experience providing psychotherapy and consultation services to adults. I believe that life’s most difficult moments are often the catalysts for our greatest growth. My mission is to provide you with a safe, inclusive, and deeply collaborative space to explore the roots of your challenges and discover a more purposeful, fulfilling way of living. I take a holistic approach to healing, focusing on the integration of mind, body, and soul. Understanding that healing is not one-size-fits-all, I draw from specialized modalities—including Jungian Psychology, Depth Psychology, and EMDR—tailoring our work to your unique goals. In treating depression, anxiety, and trauma, our sessions may incorporate dream work, creative arts, talk therapy, and exploring the neurobiology of your attachment patterns and relationships. Together, we will work at your pace to resolve internal conflicts and release limiting patterns. I have the privilege of working with individuals from all spiritual and religious backgrounds, as well as those defining their own personal paths. Experiencing hardship can be an invitation to guide you toward a deeper level of understanding and satisfaction in your career, personal relationships, and physical intimacy. If you are ready to build a stronger sense of self and move toward a life of greater fulfillment, I invite you to contact me for a free 15-minute consultation. I look forward to connecting with you and serving as a partner on your journey.

I specialize in working with individuals who have experienced trauma, eating disorders, and anxiety. I am an Associate-level therapist with experience working with clients in recovery from eating disorders and co-occurring mental health disorders in outpatient settings as well as in treatment at higher levels of care. I understand the unique pressures working in the arts and entertainment industry, and offer care to those who struggle to balance external image with internal thoughts. I utilize a non-judgemental, casual, creative style to therapy, informed by various modalities such as Acceptance and Commitment Therapy, Dialectical Behavioral Therapy, Radically-Open Dialectical Behavioral Therapy, Cognitive Behavioral Therapy and Polyvagal Therapy. I work collaboratively with clients to determine when finding your narrative can help you identify how you see yourself in your worldview, or when a “bottom up” or skills-based approach may be more supportive. My goal is to empower you with the right tools and information that will help you build skills needed to get the most out of life.  

As a licensed psychotherapist and life coach, I help ambitious, anxious women learn how to trust and put themselves first, so they can stop burning themselves out trying to meet other people’s expectations. My clients have done all the things to create a life they would be proud of, but they’re not as happy as they thought they would be. I help them to get their confidence back and experience more joy - and I’d love to help you do the same.
