Welcome.
I am a licensed marriage and family therapist that believes in creating a safe space where we can explore and understand your past, so you may better navigate your future.
I strongly believe your life experiences, both good and bad, make you who you are today. Together we will work to change your relationship to these life experiences, understanding their function, and how they can serve you in your current life. By embracing every part of who you are - we will strengthen your relationship with yourself, so you can move through the world with more power, happiness and greater authenticity.
I am a psychodynamic therapist, which means that we will talk things out in-depth over time. Together we’ll explore the things weighing on you and develop coping skills so you can live your life with greater power and intention.
My approach is active, relational, and caring. I don't just listen, I engage and collaborate.
I look forward to us getting to know each other.

High Achieving Young Adults
High achievers often face a unique set of challenges that can significantly impact their well-being and overall satisfaction with life. While striving for excellence and reaching significant milestones, such as landing your first job after college, gaining admission to that prestigious graduate program, or securing a sought-after promotion, you may encounter an array of issues like chronic stress, burnout, perfectionism, and an incessant pressure to perform. These challenges can manifest in various ways, altering how you perceive and engage with your personal and professional world.

Relationships
Nurturing a healthy self-relationship is essential - allowing you to find ease with yourself and therefore ease with others. In addition to working with individuals, I regularly work with parents and family groups to develop healthy dynamics within those relationships. Together we will identify the issues specific to you and develop an individualized, holistic approach to address them.
Having trained at the Colors LGBTQIA+ Youth Counseling Center in Los Angeles, I bring deep experience providing affirmative care as you explore and heal from the challenges unique to members of the LGBTQIA+ community.

Depression, anxiety and grief touch each of us throughout the course of our lives. Alone, or combined, these conditions involve a wide variety of symptoms that can change the way you view, and experience, the world.
If you are suffering from these symptoms, or encountering feelings you don’t know how to make sense of, we can put our heads together to find clarity, acceptance and healing.
