Great to meet you!

I’m a Licensed Marriage and Family Therapist who works with individuals and couples, with a particular focus on relationships, anxiety, depression, life transitions, and interpersonal difficulties. I earned my master’s degree in Clinical Psychology from Pepperdine University and have continued advanced training in depth-oriented approaches to psychotherapy.

My approach to therapy

My approach is primarily grounded in Narrative and psychodynamic therapy, with an emphasis on understanding the stories, relationships, and patterns that shape how we experience ourselves and others. In couples therapy, I help partners better understand the patterns that keep them stuck, communicate more effectively, and develop greater empathy and understanding for one another.

What you can expect from me

I aim to create a space where clients can speak openly and explore difficult issues without feeling judged. I see therapy as a collaborative process: rather than telling you how to live your life, I want to help you understand yourself more deeply and find ways of living that better reflect what matters to you.
