I work with men and women healing from trauma and addiction to break intergenerational cycles and rediscover connection—with themselves, their bodies, and their lives. Healing often begins in the places we feel most stuck—old patterns, relational pain, or struggles with addiction/dependencies. I work with men, women, and teens to help them reconnect with themselves and others, creating space for healing, awareness, and self-compassion.

I am located in Hermosa Beach California and I am accepting new clients both in person and online.
Many years ago a friend introduced me to their love of mountain climbing. Their love was not from the literal act of gearing up to be in nature, but instead the love of reading and watching the life stories of brave people who were called to the mountains. Over the years I've happily consumed books, movies, documentaries, and social media accounts that chronicled what drove people to challenge themselves and find meaning. While I’ve learned from their passionate stories, I was struck by a reoccurring character in most of the stories, and that was the role of the humble "Sherpa". The Sherpa does not seek fame or records, they have

With both in-person and virtual sessions available, we meet you where you are—emotionally and logistically.
Do you feel stuck, overwhelmed, or unsure what comes next?
Many of our clients arrive feeling emotionally exhausted—disconnected from themselves, their relationships, or their sense of direction. They’ve been putting others first for so long, they’ve lost track of their own needs and goals. The stress, anxiety, and self-doubt feel constant, but they’re not sure how to break the cycle. If this sounds familiar, you’re not alone—and it doesn’t have to stay this way. Therapy can help you find clarity, confidence, and a path forward that actually fits your life.
