I love working with folks who are curious about the growth potential psychoanalytic psychotherapy can unveil. I believe in the curative elements of this approach and hope to generate positive change and wellness with you. Weaving a relational insight-oriented lens with art therapy, we can uncover areas of unconscious suffering, root causes, and establish goals for treatment. By increasing our self-understanding and meaning making capacities, we illuminate new perspectives and intentionality. Together, we can co-create effective pathways to integrate that knowledge towards personal growth and inner healing.
I have a specialization in psychoanalytic and art therapies. I offer talk and art therapy, as well as clinical supervision for post-masters level MFTs working on their hours in California.
I often treat younger adults in healthcare, tech/engineering, environmental sustainability, & LGBTQ+ folks who are navigating grief, depression, anxiety, relationship issues, & stress related to life transitions. I have several years of experience in emergency psychiatric settings, & I am trained in suicide risk assessment, treatment, & 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.
