I’m a widely trained therapist currently practicing in California. I believe therapy can provide a safe, meaningful space for individuals to explore deeper parts of themselves and discover new insights into life’s challenges. My work is rooted in relationship—I recognize the profound value of a trusting, authentic connection between therapist and client. In each session, I offer warmth, compassion, and genuine curiosity, creating a nurturing environment where we can examine the patterns that either foster or limit your potential for wholeness.
Grounded in a depth-oriented, psychodynamic framework, I respect that each person’s sense of self is informed by their entire life experience. My approach to treatment is personalized and can be either short- or long-term, depending on your goals. I provide the support, insight, and guidance necessary to help you chart your unique path toward growth.
My background includes nature-based therapy, adolescent, and adult psychotherapy. I specialize in working with individuals facing mood-related concerns, anxiety, parenting issues, self-esteem issues, relationship issues, and identity exploration. I bring a warm, yet straightforward style that reflects my commitment to delivering high-quality, attentive care.
