Hi, I’m a therapist and an artist. I believe healing happens in connection — with ourselves, each other, and the world around us. I work with adults, kids, and teens who are navigating change, feeling uncomfortable in their bodies, or disconnected from their creativity or relationships. I also support kids (5+) and their grown ups increase understanding, communication, and ease in their lives.
In our work together, you can bring the parts of yourself you usually keep tucked away — the messy, angry, scared, uncertain, or exhausted pieces. I bring warmth, honesty, and creativity to help you understand what’s going on and move forward at your own pace. My approach is deeply human, informed by research and more than a decade of experience.
I live in Sacramento (Bay Area born and raised). When I’m not working, you’ll find me tinkering in my art studio, tending my garden, swimming, or spending time with my loved ones. If you feel a spark of recognition reading this, reach out — I’d love to meet you and see how we can work together.

With over a decade of experience I have found connection is the most important piece of treatment. Not for nothing, many studies shows the same thing. I keep my practice very small allowing enough space for you and the clinical connection to flourish. Atop that foundation we will use emotionally focused techniques to better understand what isn't working and how to move forward.
