I think of therapy as the opening of a conversation. Often, the struggles that bring us to therapy are actually invitations—doorways to growth, change, and new possibilities. I hold a PhD in Clinical Psychology and licensed as a Marriage and Family Therapist in California. I offer Telehealth services to support clients throughout the state. My approach is tailored to the individual. I work collaboratively with each client to identify personal strengths and inner resources as the foundation for navigating life’s challenges. My style is warm, open, and actively engaged.

Therapy is most effective when it is both compassionate and intellectually rigorous. My approach integrates evidence-based methods with a deep respect for each client’s lived experience, identity, and nervous system. I work collaboratively, helping clients make sense of patterns that have shaped their lives and relationships — and supporting them in developing new, more sustainable ways of relating to themselves and others.

Let’s be real—relationships can be hard! Between the constant demands of modern life, the pressure of expectations, and the juggling of so many needs, it’s no wonder relationships can feel overwhelming—and it’s easy to start feeling disconnected. I work with couples who want to feel more supported, understood, and deeply connected in their partnership. Many come to me feeling stuck in the same arguments, carrying old hurts, or unsure how to move forward. Together, we slow things down, truly listen to each other, and rebuild trust and intimacy so your relationship feels safe, strong, and alive again.
