I work with clients to take control of their lives by learning to set boundaries and discover the best versions of themselves, no matter what life has handed them in their pasts or in the present.

In my therapeutic practice, I integrate the depths of existential and humanistic therapies with a keen focus on the intricacies of racial issues, identity exploration, and the transformative potential of psychedelic-assisted psychotherapy. My approach is underpinned by a commitment to understanding and nurturing the complex web of human connections, guided by attachment-based theory. This perspective enables me to support clients in exploring and healing relational patterns that have been shaped by early attachments and life experiences, fostering healthier and more fulfilling interpersonal relationships.

I offer a warm, honest partnership for anyone who is struggling emotionally. People come in feeling alone in some way: overwhelmed, unfulfilled, blocked creatively or convinced that everyone else in the world is different from them.

I have been a mental health practitioner for 24 years and while I generally practice within a psychodynamic framework, I strongly believe in treating the individual and appreciate the uniqueness of each client. Therefore, I employ a variety of techniques and tailor my treatment in accordance with your needs. My style is integrative, interactive, and collaborative. I treat clients dealing with depression, anxiety, relationship problems, career dilemmas, distressing life events, loss, and a desire for growth/self-exploration. I work primarily with individual adults and couples.

I offer you the opportunity to travel this next part of your life journey together so you are not facing your challenges alone. I will support your innate strengths and gifts as well as guide you in how to let go of the heaviness that you carry that has weighed on you for so long. Imagine waking up each day with the feelings of clarity and hopefulness. This future is possible for you!

Do you struggle with sadness, depression, relationship issues or stress? Do you attempt to compensate with food, alcohol, drugs, other substances or behaviors? I provide therapy for people who are struggling emotionally in any area of their life. My approach to therapy is tailored to the person in front of me, as each person's needs and history are unique. I know that reaching out for professional help can be difficult for many. That is why I have developed a practice that is kind and compassionate. My long experience has taught me that therapy must be dynamic, interactive, non-judgmental, along with a healthy sense of humor.

I treat codependency...a fancy word for over-focusing on others and under-focusing on you. Letting others determine your self-esteem is a dangerous thing to do. But when you're harmed as a kid, you learn that you don't matter. You come away from childhood with broken "antennae". You don't see unhealthy traits in others. Too much pain teaches you to ignore your feelings and live in your head. It's a trick that gets you through childhood, but it sabotages adult relationships. My passion is helping you use your voice to get what you want.

As an empathic and nurturing clinician, I specialize in treating clients suffering from diverse issues, including anxiety, depression, post-traumatic stress disorder, and trauma. I started my journey as a domestic violence and rape prosecutor and became very committed to understanding the cycle of abuse and the psychological scars it leaves behind. I trained exclusively for three years at the Maple Counseling Center. Additionally, I have my doctorate in clinical psychology from Reiss Davis, focusing on how trauma affects primary attachments and neurobiological functioning, and my MSW from UCLA.

Make time for yourself today. Painful symptoms from depression, anxiety, and/or relationship problems can cause great difficulty as we try to navigate through daily life. You don't have to go through difficult times alone. Talking about what you are experiencing is the first step to feeling better. I listen carefully and openly to current and past struggles to help promote self-awareness and understanding. I work closely with my clients to alleviate problematic symptoms and promote overall well-being.

Are you looking for a supportive space to explore thoughts, process feelings, create a plan for lasting change and live the kind of life you want? No matter what you've been through or what your current circumstances are, you have deep strength, resiliency and the capacity to change. Whether you're dealing with trauma or anxiety, struggling with relationships, sex and intimacy or trying to cope using addictive/compulsive behaviors - there is help and hope. Is now the time for you to begin?

I have experience working with clients from many diverse backgrounds. I spent a few years working in addiction treatment and have worked in residential treatment centers helping clients struggling with drug, alcohol, and gambling addictions through a 12 step lens. During the pandemic, I pivoted my career path and began focusing on clients struggling with issues such as anxiety, depression, major life transitions, and parenthood struggles. I have also worked with clients struggling with ADHD to both process the diagnosis and work on behavioral changes. I have experience with individuals and couples!

Are you ready to address areas of your life where you feel stuck, unfulfilled or are struggling? Therapy is a great start. Whatever is calling you to therapy - relationships, anxiety, depression, stress, trauma, the therapeutic space allows you to deal with challenges, while being gently guided to help you understand and process what you are feeling, current blocks and ways to create the changes you want. I view therapy as self-care and an important and healing way to work through life’s difficulties. I will listen to you with curiosity and non-judgment to help you better understand yourself and stuck points.
