Great to meet you!

I offer a safe, authentic, non-judgmental space to explore and process what brings you to therapy so that you can lead a more peaceful life. I work with people experiencing anxiety, depression, life transitions, trauma, grief, and blocks to creative self-expression. I am a LGBTQIA+ affirming and sex positive therapist.

My approach to therapy

My practice centers on the role relationships play in informing our experiences as a whole person, such as our thoughts, feelings, bodily sensations, and behaviors. I am trained in a wide range of therapeutic modalities, including Psychodynamic, Jungian, Internal Family Systems, Relational Gestalt, Existential, Feminist, and Somatic Orientations. I am currently enrolled at the Psychoanalytic Center of California for additional training, which includes working with dreams.

What you can expect from me

You should expect a warm non-judgmental space for us to get to know each other. I listen deeply and speak when I have something to say. The sessions will feel authentic, safe, and collaborative.
