I've been doing this work for over 27 years, and connecting with people is still my favorite thing to do. I work with teenagers who are struggling, young adults figuring out who they are, and adults navigating life's messier chapters — transitions, relationships, family dynamics, and the quiet question of "am I living the life I want?" My approach is warm, curious, and without judgment. I draw from psychodynamic, DBT, and strengths-based frameworks, tailoring each session to you. I also run process groups and lead The Wellness Collective — a team of eight clinicians in Hermosa Beach. I'd love to help you feel like yourself again.
My specialty areas include working with adolescents, young adults, and families around issues of family conflict, body image, decision making, social skills training, depression, anxiety, loss, and finding their voice. I love helping adults navigate mid-life. I have my CGP and have expertise running and supervising interpersonal process groups.
I love connecting with people and hearing the stories and relationships that shape their lives. It is an honor to do this work and witness a person's growth and healing. Our office doormat says: "Yay You're Here" and that's how I feel when my clients walk through the door!
