My approach is relational, trauma-informed, grounded in psychodynamic, attachment theory, and EMDR.
At your core, you know your true wants and needs, but past experiences can create patterns that keep you from being consciously aware of them. Therapy can help you know yourself better, allowing for more fulfilling relationships with yourself, others, and your work. We will work together to process difficult emotions and places you get stuck, and reveal the meaning behind challenging experiences and their effect on your life. In doing so, difficult feelings can transform from a source of pain into a helpful guide toward removing obstacles to growth and self-love.

I hold a prior career in social activism using artistic platforms to bring awareness to policy issues that affect communities of historically marginalized people. My prior career influences my practice by prioritizing the importance of providing a safe space for self-expression. I enjoy bringing a social constructivist lens to the work I do as a psychotherapist. I strongly believe in using self-as-tool so my approach includes a lot of transparency and flexibility.

For any number of reasons - trauma, loss - one's true nature has been diminished, co-opted, denied.
Jungian psychology and its emphasis on the individuating self informs my practice. Rather than pathologizing symptoms, I work with clients to bring meaning to their experiences and what is being carried by the body and conveyed by one's unconscious. It is this meaning that facilitates healing.

I am equipped with powerful evidence-based tools to address the effects of trauma-related symptoms and mental health challenges.
The life you want is possible. You can overcome symptoms like anxiety, depression, codependency, low self-worth, and destructive behaviors and addictions. By developing tools and insights, you gain control over your nervous system, feel safer in your body, and strengthen your self-trust. Areas of your life begin to improve, and you recognize a new person, that new person is you.

Without the proper tools or support, many people learn to deal with their traumas and intergenerational/inherited self-limiting beliefs by seeking out substances and compulsive behaviors.
By creating a safe space without fear of judgment, I can help you freely explore your thoughts and behaviors in a way that facilitates healing and growth, while restoring trust in yourself. Together, we can identify and understand the ways your unhealed trauma may continue to impact the way you interact with people in your current environment.

I specialize in trauma, substance use recovery, anxiety, stress, grief, depression, self-worth, emotional regulation, relational conflicts, and life transitions.
During an initial session, we would begin with introductions, questions, and explore the specific issues, challenges you are encountering and what brought you to therapy. Depending on the circumstances, I may conduct some assessments. This would enable us to develop a personalized plan and areas of focus for subsequent sessions.

I work with thoughtful, creative, over-functioning adults who look capable on the outside but feel internally strained, restless, or disconnected from themselves. Many of the people who come to see me are successful in their work and relationships, yet sense that something essential is missing, muted, or under pressure beneath the surface. People often reach out when insight alone hasn’t brought the relief they hoped for, or when they are tired of performing competence while feeling privately overwhelmed, stuck, or depleted.

I hold a Master’s Degree in Psychology from Pepperdine University and treat children, teenagers, and adults struggling with depression, anxiety, emotional and behavioral disorders, and trauma.
I became a psychotherapist because everyone needs “that person” in their life who will always believe in them, support them, and not judge them based on their past. As we all continue to navigate life’s transitions and changes, there are points where we find ourselves needing extra guidance and support. Whether you are currently thriving or struggling in life, deciding to seek therapy can be a challenging, rewarding, and life-changing experience. As a therapist, I strive to be “that person” by providing a non-judgmental, warm, and compassionate environment that fosters growth.

I am a psychoanalytic psychotherapist and treat a wide-range of complex patterns from anxiety, depression, trauma, grief and loss to addiction and PTSD.
My approach to working with you in therapy would encompass all registers of your experience, including non-verbal communication. In my way of working, developing an understanding of where and how feelings are actually felt is as important as understanding cognitive distortions and negative thought patterns.
I do maintain a few open time slots in my practice on a sliding scale basis, which are intended for those in marginalized communities. Please apply if you may be eligible.

Therapy is a process of self-discovery that often entails delving into past relationships and trauma to uncover their affect on our relationships with ourselves, our families and the outside world.
I draw on research-based relational approaches - DDP, Attachment Focused Family Therapy, Interpersonal Neurobiology, Play Therapy, IFS, Mindfulness, Trauma and Attachment researched evidenced-based practices: TF-CBT and EMDR. Every individual/family requires their own treatment plan customized to meet the needs and objectives of each on the path to wellness.
