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.
