You are a creative, dynamic person and I help you recover from complex trauma, dissociation, relationship concerns and identity wounds to meet your goals for living with success, safety and ease. In sessions, we explore your beliefs and work to reframe and release you from the burdens and behaviors of the past. We acknowledge what happened to you rather than judge what's wrong with you, and we uplift what's right with you. As you grow, we respect and understand how you found ways to survive and we celebrate how you are now living with autonomy, boundaries, connection, creativity, and choice.

Shame, stress, oppressive narratives/systems, trauma, and social conditioning can disconnect us from our bodies and minds. This can create a cycle of shame which many of us are operating from. These disconnections can show up as: identity/sexuality issues, depression, anxiety, shame, dissociation, and challenges with our interpersonal relationships. You want change but where do you start? By working together, we can safely work towards exploring the parts that are living inside of you that may need to be witnessed and unshamed so that the whole person that already resides in you can operate as authentically as possible.

I specialize in supporting young adults who feel stuck, overwhelmed by expectations, or unsure of their next steps. Whether it shows up as avoidance, low motivation, social anxiety, or decision paralysis, I help clients understand what’s driving their struggles and build confidence, skills, and self-trust needed to move forward. My style is warm, collaborative, and non-judgmental. Together, we uncover what’s beneath the stuckness—often anxiety, perfectionism, a major life transition, or fear of failure—and build coping tools, executive-functioning skills, and a clearer sense of identity and direction.

The ideal client may be someone feeling weighed down by anxiety, depression, or past trauma, longing for relief and a sense of balance. They may be navigating a major life transition, struggling in relationships, or simply feeling stuck and unsure of the next step. What they want most is to feel understood, supported, and equipped with tools to manage challenges with greater ease. Their goal is not only to reduce distress, but also to build confidence, resilience, and a more meaningful connection to themselves and the life they hope to create.

My journey to becoming a psychotherapist began when I was thirteen years old. I remember listening to my radio every night just as I was falling asleep. It wasn't music I was listening to, but a psychologist who ran a call-in talk program. Troubled listeners would call in seeking the good doctor's advice and in just a few minutes time, they were soon at ease by her reassuring words. I thought, What a wonderful job that must be; to help so many people in feeling heard and connected with a caring human being.

Bipolar disorder is not your identity. It’s something that affects your life — and how you choose to respond to it determines what’s possible.
I know this because I’ve lived with bipolar disorder for almost 30 years. As a therapist my awareness and understanding goes beyond a textbook and training, it comes from living with it every day. And every day I do the work that it takes for me to build a life alongside it that I genuinely love.
I walk beside people with a light, tools and skills as they face this journey no longer alone.

Do you see your thoughts and feelings as either right or wrong, with no middle ground? Do you carry shame about the parts of yourself you struggle to share? Many people function well during the day but feel overwhelmed at night, when rumination and intrusive thoughts grow louder. I offer a thoughtful, supportive space to explore these patterns with curiosity. For those who struggle most in the evenings, I provide late-night telehealth sessions (9–10pm PST) on wee nights for California residents.
