I am a certified psychoanalytic psychotherapist with a private practice in California. I'm also currently a PhD Student at the California Institute of Integral Studies researching the efficacy of psychoanalytic treatment and ecotherapy for depression and suicidality in young adults. I have additional immersive training in EcoPsychology, Art Therapy, Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, Open Dialogue, suicide risk evaluation for children and adults, OCD, trauma, and the treatment of disordered eating.

I use effective evidence-based treatments for people struggling with depression, anxiety, trauma, and grief.

I often work with young adults in healthcare, tech/engineering, environmental science, and farming. I have several years of experience in emergency psychiatric settings, and I am trained in suicide risk assessment, treatment, and safety planning.

I mainly treat concerns related to depression, anxiety, and trauma. A typical treatment plan may entail exploration of root causes, making sense of how certain issues have come to be, how they are impairing your capacity to grow. Together we investigate perspectives to gain insight on how you can achieve your goals.

I'm trained in Freudian psychoanalytic psychotherapy. I work relationally through a trauma-minded lens. I care most about cultivating your self-understanding, confidence, & goals for personal growth. Your experience may bring hidden realms of suffering into consciousness. In our work, I hope you will have the space to openly & safely bring awareness & self-compassion to these new insights.
