About

Welcome. I am a California Board of Behavioral Sciences licensed psychotherapist (MFT # 132400) with a Master’s degree in Counseling Psychology. I have a background heavily steeped in working with children and adolescents that has served as a wonderful foundation in working with adults across the lifespan. I currently work with individual adults, teens, children, families, couples, and offer groups. I am trauma informed in my work, LGBTQ+ allied and affirming, and actively work on my cultural competency. Being a human is complicated and it can be incredibly challenging at times. Therapy can be a valuable tool in getting support as we navigate the many kinds of challenges that arise throughout the lifespan. In my work as a therapist, I use an integrative approach, which is a fancy way of saying I do not subscribe to one specific theory or view on how therapy “should” look and be practiced. Instead, I believe in pulling from many theories and techniques as they lend themselves to the work my clients are doing. Sometimes that means we do a deep dive into the past to gain a better understanding of the roads they have traveled while creating space for healing–and sometimes it means we really work in the here-and-now to solve problems in their present, every-day lives. Often, it means a combination of the two. I welcome you as you are and where you are. We all deserve a place to process, develop insight, heal, and gain the tools we need to meet our challenges and move towards what feels meaningful for us. That is why it is my absolute honor and privilege to act as a support to fellow humans as they navigate the many chapters of their lives.
