Great to meet you!

I am a licensed Marriage & Family Therapist. I have offices in Santa Monica, Malibu, Ojai, & Ventura. I practice traditional talk therapy as well as Attachment Focused EMDR both in person and remotely. I also practice Ketamine Assisted Psychotherapy (KAP) with an emphasis on treating depression, anxiety, PTSD, and trauma. My practice focuses on trauma, mood disorders, life transitions, addiction & recovery, and relationships. I trained as a KAP therapist at the Ketamine Training Center in San Rafael, California. I am trained by MAPS in MDMA Assisted Psychotherapy. I am certified in Psychedelic Therapy by Fluence.

My approach to therapy

I integrate Mindfulness, Parts Work, Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, KAP, AF-EMDR & Psychodynamic Therapy, as well as many other modalities with a foundation of Client Centeredness. I work in collaboration with my clients to meet them where they are. We design an approach together that addresses what best suits their growth and well-being.

What you can expect from me

Please feel free to reach out to me to discuss your needs and explore how we might work together. You don't need therapy, you deserve therapy. You deserve someone who is dedicated to your optimal mental health and well-being.
