I'm a California-based therapist supporting people with anxiety, grief, neurodivergence, and relationship issues. I see individual adults, dyads/ couples, and teens, and I tend to work best with people who are deeply curious to understand both themselves and the way that they show up in the world better. My style is warm, relational, and non-judgmental, balanced with the willingness to challenge clients to see their patterns more clearly. I heavily incorporate mindfulness, grounding techniques, somatic awareness, and parts work, all with a trauma-informed lens.
Many people come to therapy skilled at intellectualizing their feelings. That is, they can talk about and around them, but find it difficult to actually feel them. I enjoy helping people deepen into their ability to experience emotions through tapping into the body. I also have particular affinity for working with BIPOC and queer folx.
I genuinely welcome people of all identities and backgrounds, and am firmly committed to creating a safe space. I provide therapy across California and am registered as an Associate Marriage and Family Therapist (AMFT) and Professional Clinical Counselor (APCC). Feel free to learn more about me and my practice at my website and reach out with any questions.

I use a lot of parts work (IFS) in my practice, which is how I tend to conceptualize feelings. I also incorporate elements of DBT to help my clients build concrete skills for dealing with stressful moments. Across all my interventions, I use the here-and-now as an anchor, often inviting people to check in with their bodies and notice what is alive in the present moment.
