Therapy can help you grow, flourish, & increase your sense of worth- It can help you to understand & create healthy boundaries with the people in your life. I believe in creating a safe space where you can process embarrassing and difficult issues. Your therapy journey also needs to address your mind, body, and spiritual/social needs. It helps to have a therapist who can help connect the dots with you, and provide you with much needed support as your going through life’s challenges.

I'm a licensed marriage and family therapist in California, providing feminist and trauma-informed therapy to adolescents, adults, and couples. I am particularly passionate about collaborating with my clients to unpack and process the complex trauma associated with holding marginalized identities. Additionally, I have a background and training in the treatment of eating disorders, self-harm, and substance use disorders. My work with couples focuses on non-traditional couples.

Are you having difficulty finding or maintaining meaningful relationships? Wrestling with self-esteem issues? Tired and frustrated with the search for true happiness? Do you excel professionally but struggle with feelings of inadequacy in your personal life. Have you wondered how lived trauma and/or generational trauma may be affecting you? You may have attempted to cope with these issues on your own only to find your depression and anxiety mounting and your interpersonal relationships suffering. These are challenges thousands of people face every day.

I specialize in helping people improve their mental health by improving their most important relationships. I believe that these two things are fundamentally connected, and that challenges like anxiety and depression often have their root in how we relate (or don’t relate) with other people in love, friendship, family, and professional life. So if you find yourself stuck in one of these areas and find yourself needing new tools, I might be able to help.

Navigating daily life stressors, constant obstacles, breaking barriers, managing intense/ strong emotions, life transitions, dealing with grief/ loss, and complex traumas can be challenging. These challenges can cause you to feel anger, sadness, isolate from others, feel unmotivated, unclear about your path, cause conflicts with identity and create difficulties reaching your goals. No matter your circumstance, background or challenges you deserve to heal from, lived experiences, generational trauma, negative or debilitating thought processes and evolve and gain clarity into your true and authentic self.

Choosing to be in therapy can be a deeply meaningful experience by having a therapist who will help you navigate your journey. I specialize in fostering meaningful connections with individuals from diverse backgrounds, spanning from young adults to seasoned individuals facing life's formidable challenges and transitions. My expertise lies in supporting clients dealing with issues such as anxiety, depression, and stress. I am dedicated to guiding my clients through these pivotal life moments, equipping them with the tools needed to enhance self-esteem and cultivate a brighter perspective on life.

You have always followed the norm to not stand out. You feel safe when you are in the background and blending in. Judgement and criticism have always been a part of your life. You are struggling with feelings of guilt and shame, and it has impeded you in living a life of authenticity- who you are at your core, but the fear of people leaving stops you. This fear has caused you to have your boundaries tested and crossed- leading you to bottle up your emotions for self-preservation. There has not been a time where you have not felt fear, anxiety, overwhelm, and stress.

Your needs and goals might include how to find balance in daily life, resolving relationship or family conflicts, questioning gender, processing trauma, or how to best navigate any of life's transitions. I allow what comes up in the room to guide how we will work together--which might mean we look at and process the past, or stay in the here-and-now, or a combination of both. I approach each client anew, drawing on a number of modalities with the understanding that each person's needs are unique.

The decision to start therapy can be intensely personal when the sum of your experiences messages to you that nothing can, or will change. Therapy isn't just a space where we develop insight into how we got to where we are, but a space that we take to consider who we want to move forward into becoming. You make sense in context, and it's in that context that we'll work together to support you in overcoming barriers to becoming the version of yourself you strive to be.

Are you a perfectionistic professional struggling with a fear of being seen? You want to do big things in life, yet you worry about how others will perceive you and so you are in the habit of talking yourself out of doing the stretchy things that get you out of your comfort zone. You want to stop getting in your own way, and you could use some support in the process. You would like to manage the anxiety, increase your self-confidence, some accountability and a gentle push toward meeting your goals. You are committed and ready to do the hard work that it takes to get there, you just do not want to do it alone.
