I am not your run of the mill psychotherapist. Oh sure, I listen well and am very compassionate and calm. But I just don't sit there and ask you how you feel. I do care about your feelings but I am more curious about your experience and how we can increase your awareness so that you can make helpful and inspired choices. As you can imagine I help people deal with any issue you can possibly think of- from depression to life transitions to the loss of a loved one or trauma.

I am a licensed clinical psychologist with many years of experience working with children, adolescents, and their families, as well as adults. My interventions are heavily rooted in behavioral therapy and evidence-based practices including feminist and attachment theories. However, I tend to conceptualize clinical presentations from a multicultural and social justice perspective. While I employ empirically validated treatments to ignite change, I am also of the belief that there is no single story to any individual. Consequently, it is important to understand the social, cultural, political, and spiritual context of each individual.

Ah, the delightful chuckle of a little one being caught up in loving arms… the moment that a couple see each other’s hearts after conflict… the relief of someone who experiences that they are not alone when they thought they might be… This is the joy that motivates my work.

You want to feel confident, calmer and regain control of your life. You’re trying, but you’re stuck. You might be unable to move forward, feeling down, anxious … or struggling with relationships, or questioning your use of alcohol or drugs or other behaviors. Sometimes you feel so alone with all this, like no one wants to hear about it, or it’s just terribly uncomfortable to share. Somewhere inside you know there’s more to life. A place where you can feel more comfortable with yourself and in your relationships. My years of experience has shown me that change is not just possible, but that we are built for change and growth.

I’m a licensed therapist trained in somatic psychology at the California Institute of Integral Studies.

You deserve a life that feels steadier, clearer, and more like your own. If you’re feeling stuck, burnt out, low, or disconnected, it may be a sign that something deeper needs attention. Many people reach a point where their usual ways of coping no longer work, and life begins to feel heavier or off track. I see symptoms like anxiety, depression, or substance use not as personal failures, but as meaningful signals—inviting us to slow down and better understand what’s going on beneath the surface.

Regardless of who we are working with, our primary focus is on improving self-esteem, building self-confidence, and working to enrich the self-worth of each of our clients.

Whether sitting with individuals or partners, I am here to remind you of what you already know but might have forgotten: you are enough. Many clients find their way to me because they want to work through challenges related to their identity, acculturation, sexuality, gender expression, relationship formation, and early traumas.
Couples come to me to work on communication, getting out of repetitive cycles of missing each other, or just to work on their open relationship agreements.
My identities as a queer, non-monogamous, sex- and kink-positive, immigrant tend to attract potential clients who share some of these positionalities.
