After a lifetime of having to mask yourself, it can seem utterly impossible to love “yourself”, when that person hasn't felt met, understood, and supported in the world. Sometimes, we grow up and realize we didn’t get to experience the childhood we needed. The hurt of being missed over a lifetime.
If you have tried traditional talk-therapy, and found you're still stuck, it may be time to get creative with a therapist who really gets it. My approach to therapy is always about the relationship (person-centered and relational), neurodiversity-affirming, and seeks to go beyond words and get to the heart of experience.

Successful therapy is a combination of your life experiences coupled with my skill set in a caring, supportive environment. When you put those things together your life will begin to change in ways you have secretly hoped were possible. I often am asked how looking at past experiences and feelings can enhance our future. Basically, "why waste time looking backwards?" My answer is this: When we don't take time to reflect on unconscious patterns we often repeat them; even ones that don't serve us. It's time to break that chain.

Like many of us, you might be trying to juggle it all with work or parenting, taking care of yourself, and the pressure to do it all “right.” And maybe, despite your efforts, you still find yourself lying awake at night second-guessing everything. I understand these challenges not just professionally, but personally.
My clients come to therapy feeling like they're drowning in life's pressures. They feel anxious, lonely, burned out, depressed or stuck in patterns of perfectionism that leave little room for rest or joy. I work with clients around relationships, burnout, family stressors, postpartum/infertility, parenting, and ADHD.

Do you feel stuck? If you're ready to stop the self-sabotage that keeps you repeating patterns you swore you'd never repeat, together, we’ll move beyond symptom management and into meaningful transformation— at your pace. My work is relational, trauma-informed/trained, addressing the impact of complex trauma and the roots of anxiety and depression while fostering real change and deeper relational attunement so you can experience lasting relief. I work virtually with individuals from diverse backgrounds, with particular care for those navigating issues of acculturation, immigration and the lived experiences of BIPOC communities.

I am a licensed psychologist specializing in the treatment of OCD, skin-picking disorder, and hair-pulling disorder and anxiety disorders (including panic disorder, generalized anxiety disorder, specific phobias, social anxiety disorder, healthy anxiety, and agoraphobia). I also treat trauma disorders, sleep disorders, and tics disorders. I have treated some of the most severe and treatment-resistant cases of OCD and other anxiety disorders at the residential and partial hospitalization levels, which has given me the tools to more effectively treat these conditions in traditional outpatient therapy.

Clients often describe my presence as warm, grounding, and easy to trust. I bring a calm, nonjudgmental approach to therapy that helps people feel safe enough to be honest, vulnerable, and fully themselves. I believe meaningful change happens when clients feel genuinely seen and supported, not rushed or pathologized. My goal is to create a space where people can slow down, better understand themselves, and begin relating to their experiences with more compassion, clarity, and confidence.

You may feel overwhelmed by anxiety or weighed down by persistent sadness, even as you try to keep going through daily life. Mood and anxiety disorders can create cycles of overthinking, self-doubt, and emotional exhaustion that are hard to manage alone. With an MA from Antioch University Los Angeles (2007), I support individuals through these challenges with compassion and respect for how difficult this can feel. I was drawn to this field to be present with people during some of their hardest moments, and I believe each person holds the capacity for healing and growth, even when the path forward feels unclear.

Hi! I’m really looking forward to meeting and welcoming you to a safe, accepting space where you can share. Being a human is hard! And parenting humans is tough too! When we're triggered all over the place and when we're scared, it's hard to be in an authentic relationship with others. But when we take care of ourselves, when we really understand ourselves, then we can show up in our relationships in ways that lead to more connection, which is what we all want.
