I believe true healing begins when we feel deeply seen, genuinely heard, and meaningfully connected to others.
As a registered Associate Marriage and Family Therapist and Associate Professional Clinical Counselor in Los Angeles, I bring a blend of clinical training and holistic wisdom to the work we do together. With a B.A. in Counseling Psychology from Lesley University and an M.A. in Clinical Psychology from Antioch University, I’m grounded in evidence-based therapeutic approaches, including psychodynamic therapy, mindfulness-based therapy, and family systems. I also draw from my background as a certified Holistic Health Practitioner and Usui Holy Fire Reiki Master to support healing on a deeper, more integrative level.
In our work together, that means we might explore early relational patterns, tune into the present moment with curiosity and compassion, and consider the broader systems—family, culture, environment—that shape your personal experience. Whether you're navigating anxiety, grief, childhood trauma, life transitions, burn out, or just feeling stuck, I tailor each session to meet you where you are. My approach is intuitive, collaborative, and rooted in the belief that mind, body, and spirit all deserve a seat at the table.
Outside of the therapy room, I quite literally enjoy spending my free time outdoors. Whether I’m hiking mountain trails with my partner and our pup, walking along the shoreline, or simply soaking up the California sunshine and letting nature do its thing.
From anxiety and depression to post-traumatic stress disorder (PTSD), we utilize holistic talk therapies and innovative treatments like eye movement desensitization reprocessing (EMDR).
