Feeling exhausted, overwhelmed, or disconnected? You may be trying to just keep it together and appear fine on the outside, turning to alcohol or substances to manage emotions that feel out of control, unprocessed grief or trauma, self-doubt, anger, or anxiety. I help adults move beyond just surviving towards a life that feels more grounded, meaningful, and connected. My specialties are in treatment of trauma, addiction, anxiety, grief, identity-based stress, and intense emotions. My approach to therapy focuses on empowerment and transformation. I am direct, collaborative, compassionate, liberation-focused, and trauma-informed.
Using evidence-based practices and empirically supported treatments such as Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT), Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT), and mindfulness-based approaches, I help clients reconnect with their strengths and values, experience greater emotional stability, and more authenticity.
Therapy may feel risky or unclear, and my goal is to help you feel safer, better understood, and more grounded. I offer a free consultation (15-20 minutes) over the phone upon request. It’s a chance for us to talk briefly about what you might be looking for and for you to learn whether or not I seem like a good fit.

Treatment with me is collaborative and transparent. I take a curious and compassionate stance that is flexible and trauma-informed. I'm a New Yorker so I'm direct and my current Bay Area environment helps me take an intersectional approach. I remain flexible and humble to make changes throughout the course of our journey together.
