I offer a combination of arrangements including telehealth and in person appointments.
Therapy can be a co-creative space to explore deeper questions of identity, meaning, creativity, and purpose in one’s life. The people I work with are often moving through threshold moments—times when old identities no longer seem to fit and something new has yet to take form. Many feel drawn toward dreams, creativity, imagination, or spiritual questions, sensing that their inner life carries meaning. Often artists, creatives, or intuitive types, we explore the images, patterns, and stories shaping their lives, cultivating a deeper relationship with the psyche and what is emerging into consciousness.

I offer in-person and telehealth therapy with session openings throughout the week.
Life doesn’t always go the way we planned. Stress, uncertainty, emotional pain, and feeling stuck can leave us wondering how to move forward. Whatever you're carrying right now, you don’t have to navigate it alone. Therapy offers a space to pause, reflect, and reconnect—with yourself, your needs, and your path forward. My approach is warm, collaborative, and grounded in deep respect for your lived experience. I focus on understanding the whole person—not just the symptoms—and tailor therapy to meet your unique needs, values, and goals.

You're Not Broken! Your Relationship isn't Either! Tired of feeling like nothing you do is good enough or matters? I get it! I'm here to tell you something important: It's not your fault! You think the problem is communication or compatibility or you need to try harder. You learned how to love from 2 people who didn't know how to love themselves. Did love feel scary or conditional? Are these old patterns impacting your relationship without you recognizing it? Are you protecting yourself so you won't be hurt again? Single or partnered, is this protecting you from the very love you desperately want?

I offer in-person sessions in downtown Walnut Creek and online therapy across California.
You're doing your best to hold it all together, but inside, it's a different story. Maybe anxiety is keeping you up at night, or the stress just doesn't let up. Perhaps you're carrying the weight of chronic pain, health challenges, or difficult past experiences that make everyday life feel harder than it should. For teens, it may be pressure from school, friendships, or expectations that are hard to manage alone. If any of this sounds familiar, you're not alone — and you don't have to figure it out on your own.

During in-person sessions, my Medical Alert Service Dog will be present– if you have questions or concerns, please reach out and I will be happy to discuss.
I approach therapy with eagerness, curiosity, and a deep commitment to understanding your subjective experience; no matter your background, it’s brave to seek support, and I believe you deserve 100% empathy and compassion. I focus on sex and relationships (queer, kink, polyamory, open relationships, sexual dysfunction, communication), older adults, and disability. I am also interested in working with family members of those serving in the military. I work best with clients who are ready to engage in meaningful reflection and explore difficult questions: if you’re ready to dig deep, I’m ready to meet you wherever you are.

Therapy is an incubator for change. It's where you workshop how to initiate it, and digest the changes that have happened. As a therapist, I am 'issue agnostic' and willing to work with most challenges. What's important is your desire to create a change, and readiness to collaborate with someone to create it. Equally vital to me, as a therapist, is that you feel actively heard — something sorely missing for many of us. I feel that we need to be heard and our experience recognized, before we can move on to any sort of change.

If you are reading this, you have chosen to take the first step to healing. This decision is a demonstration of your resiliency, strength, and courage to be vulnerable, something to be immensely proud of. My therapeutic approach in working with individuals and couples is integrative. I recognize that no two persons are the same and that each person requires a treatment plan that is adapted to meet their needs. I recognize that experiences of trauma and pain are two unavoidable life experiences. However, I believe that there is a resiliency and strength inside each individual that supports a path of healing.

Online or in-person sessions available in cozy Walnut Creek office conveniently located near freeway.
I specialize in working with postpartum parents, couples who are planning to have children, and families to help promote healing and growth. Having and raising children is one of the hardest and longest-term projects anyone will ever take on. I want to help parents engage in this process with self-awareness, intention, and love to help improve their own well-being, as well as the child or children's. I believe wellness starts in the home and each member of a family unit can help contribute to positive connections through taking time to work on themselves and then care for others. I also provide EMDR therapy to help heal trauma.

That's where I come in. I work with individuals and couples who are ready to stop fighting against how they're wired and start building relationships and a life that actually fit who they are.
