You’re a conscious, sensitive person, committed to justice and healing - but you find yourself feeling alone and confused about why you are continually struggling in relationships, or worse - you're worried intergenerational trauma has made being in healthy relationship out of reach for you. You’re intelligent and thoughtful, but you worry you're not reaching your potential because you’ve spent your life taking care of others and managing your anxiety/self doubt. You have a hard time trusting/knowing your own voice, and/or setting boundaries for yourself and others. I am passionate about working with LGBTQiA+ / BIPOC folks.

Life is filled with challenging transitions, relationships, and experiences. One of my favorite sayings is – nothing in this life worth having comes easy. I use it, myself, as a reminder and motivator when things get hard. Because they do, and that’s okay! It is okay to be stressed, frustrated, sad, angry, excited, and any other emotion you feel. The challenge comes when those emotions lead to unfortunate circumstances. I believe the things we want will test us before conceding and opening the door to success and personal fulfillment. Resilience is a core trait to develop and can provide everyone with the opportunity for happiness.

Life in the Bay Area can feel like too much sometimes. Maybe you’re carrying the weight of anxiety, sadness, or anger. Or you might be stretched thin—juggling work, relationships, and expectations—while wondering if you’re barely holding it all together. You could be feeling disconnected from the people around you, or stuck in a job that drains more than it gives. If any of this sounds familiar, you’re not alone. Therapy offers a space to catch your breath, gain clarity, and begin to move toward the life you want. That’s what I offer: a supportive, grounded space where change becomes possible.

I’m deeply interested in how early relationships, life experiences, and cultural backgrounds shape the way we see the world—and how they influence our choices, coping, leadership, and performance. For the past 20 years, I’ve worked in academic medical centers and hospitals (UCLA, CHLA), using research-based approaches to help individuals (children to older adults), couples, families, and leaders find agency, insight, personal growth, and positive change. My background spans health psychology, systems psychology, executive coaching, functional, rehab & CrossFit training — allowing me to bring a whole-person approach to the work.

Em nossa primeira sessão juntos, lhe dou as boas-vindas ao meu consultorio e convido-o a torná-lo seu próprio espaço seguro. Eu explico que a terapia é um processo, um relacionamento e uma aventura. É também um presente de descoberta e renovação que só você pode dar a si mesmo. Nesse processo, meu papel é ouvir, apoiar, desafiar, guiar e celebrar você, à medida que você se torna mais corajoso para encarar as partes de si mesmo que estava evitando, aceitando mais a si mesmo e aos outros e sendo plenamente presente na sua vida.
