I specialize in perinatal mental health – specifically helping birthing people through the spectrum of experiences related to trying to conceive, pregnancy loss, pregnancy, postpartum, and the first year of parenthood. Perinatal experiences can bring up a variety of complex emotions that deserve support. Some experiences, like pregnancy loss or IVF can be particularly difficult or traumatizing. I have trained extensively in several trauma-resolution approaches, including EMDR, and have a variety of tools we can use to help you enter a sustainable baseline of health and well-being based on your specific needs.

Feeling foggy or like you're in a bad dream? Feeling detached from your body or your joy? I'm passionate about helping clients feel more present and embodied whether they're grieving, dissociated (DPDR), or burned out.
My identities as a queer, bi-racial (white & Latina) woman guide my effort to practice through an intersectional and decolonial lens while still acknowledging my immense privilege. Transparency can build safety and I aim to be open about my values. Some of those values include: a free Palestine, immigration as a human right regardless of status, gender affirming care, pro-choice, harm reduction, and anti-racism.

I support my clients to find safety, rest, and joy within themselves, often in the midst of very challenging circumstances. I work with folks healing from trauma – especially childhood, religious, sexual, and relational traumas – those exploring their authentic identities, and those who want support in life transitions large and small. I believe that you are the expert of your own experience. Together we will create a space where you can explore deeper layers of your experience, to understand, and potentially reframe, strategies that no longer serve you, and to take steps towards a richer connection with yourself and others.

Do you want to understand yourself better and get to the root of issues? Together we can explore your unconscious mind, develop new coping skills, and find a way forward. My approach to therapy is collaborative, without jargon, and incorporates different ways to approach problems depending on your specific need: Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), Trauma-Focused CBT (TF-CBT), Dialectical Behavioral Therapy (DBT), and Psychoanalytic/Psychodynamic Psychotherapy. Please note my dog, Luke, is present in sessions.

As an experienced adolescent therapist, I am passionate about helping teens and young adults figure out who they are, who they want to be, and the barriers keeping them from realizing these goals. I have assisted hundreds of adolescents through academic challenges, anxiety, depression, emotional dysregulation, substance use, ADHD, traumatic experiences, social anxiety and divorce. We work together to develop healthy ways to manage our emotional life, identify strengths which can support self-confidence and motivation, and learn to trust we are worthy of the love and connection we want in our relationships.

Accepting clients in-person and via video - as of 5/5/26 . The world can feel like a scary, uncertain place right now, for good reason. I am here to help folks navigate it all.

My approach is genuine, warm, relational, and grounded in attachment, humanistic, holistic, and existential theories. I honor the connection of mind, body, heart, and spirit, and I incorporate mindfulness and somatic-based interventions to bring greater awareness to one’s whole being. I aim to provide a safe and supportive environment where you will know and feel that you are accepted just as you are. I will follow your lead, while remaining curious, engaged, and honest in what I notice. I invite you to stay open to new directions, yet grounded in the present moment, as you access your own wisdom and gain new insight and awareness.

Are you frustrated that you can't "snap out of it" when you feel depressed, anxious, or making the same mistakes over and over again? Maybe you have felt stuck for a long time, wondering what's wrong with you that you can't find your way out.

I offer the outside perspective and collaboration you need to get unstuck, to help you find your way back to a full and satisfying life.

Leadership Skills, Performance Enhancement and Life Coaching. I am confident in the ability of the individual to change. We all face many difficult challenges in life, but these can become opportunities for growth and personal development. Most of us have never really learned the optimal skills and strategies to deal with these challenges. After 30 years working with individuals from a great variety of economic, educational and cultural backgrounds, I have found that identifying and letting go of our old, unproductive coping strategies, and replacing them with new ways of engaging with the world, allows us to live in a more rewarding and productive fashion.

Mid-life can be deeply rewarding, but it can also feel like a never-ending pile of stress. It's not surprising that you’re feeling the weight of the world on your shoulders. You may be navigating complex relationships, career and caregiving responsibilities, finances and health issues, in addition to concerns about the current state of the world! On top of it all, you may notice that your tools for managing stress (alcohol, weed, food, pushing yourself to the max) aren’t really cutting it anymore and may even be causing harm. The pressure is overwhelming, and you're not sure how to handle it all.

Many of the people I work with are creative, relationally perceptive, and highly adaptive. They are artists, caregivers, and teens navigating complex systems, or therapists themselves who understand their histories and patterns intellectually yet still find them activated in their bodies and relationships.
I understand the therapeutic relationship itself as the primary agent of change. Within that relational frame, I integrate Brainspotting and Art Therapy to engage both cognitive insight and embodied processing.
My work draws from Psychodynamic and Experiential traditions. My style is warm, direct, and cushioned with levity.
