I feel most alive when having vulnerable conversations and when exploring identity, connection, and values-based action in the face of difficulty. I am a licensed clinical psychologist in the state of California (PSY33737) who provides individual, couples, and family therapy to adults (18+) seeking a supportive, culturally-responsive space to work through challenges and to deepen exploration. My style is collaborative, flexible, and radically genuine. Presence, growth, equanimity, and authenticity are at the heart of all I do.
My individual specialities are OCD, anxiety disorders, and trauma/PTSD. I offer couples therapy and family therapy for people wanting to deepen their relationship and work through feeling stuck, disconnected, or in conflict. My approach is grounded in Emotionally-Focused Therapy, an evidence-based, gold-standard treatment for couples and families.
I believe that good therapy is about the relationship between us more than anything. I offer a free 15-20 minute consultation call for us to get to know one another and discuss what you’re seeking. Please email me if you think we may be a good fit and I'd be happy to speak with you!
