As a therapist, I value the relationship built with individuals. I approach therapy with an empathetic, warm, relationship driven model that emphasizes collaboration. I work with adults, parents, families, and teens struggling with: trauma, grief, relationships, life changes, and systemic oppression. There is so much that goes on in the world, having a space to not be judged but cared for can be so important. My works aims to help you build upon your strengths and sense of self.
I utilize a mentalization-based approach which aims to increase your sense of understanding of yourself and others, strengthen your relationships, and assist in regulating your emotions. We will work together to identify your unique struggles and strengths.
I offer virtual sessions with anyone based in California.
