I take an integrative approach to therapy with an emphasis on a client-centered approach to build rapport and meet the needs of my clients. I specialize in working with trauma survivors, anxiety disorders, and relationship-based issues.

Whether you are going through a difficult transition or just feeling stressed and unhappy in your personal life, I am here to go through the journey with you. My hope is to help individuals find the strength within themselves. I work with individuals to help them increase coping skills with everyday stressors and challenges. I provide therapeutic services to individuals, couples and families who want to work to improve their relationships and themselves.

Do you get stuck in cycles of negative thinking? Does it feel like your mind is working against you? Is it tough to turn off damaging self-talk and self-blame? This perpetual self-punishment can give rise to and worsen already challenging conditions like depression and anxiety, as well as sustain the effects of trauma. Wouldn’t it be a relief to break these patterns of destructive thinking? To improve self-esteem? To feel confident and worthy of engaging with others? I can help. My therapeutic approach is collaborative, solution-focused, and designed to be short-term using Cognitive Behavioral Therapy. CBT explores how thoughts and perceptions influence mood and behaviors. Identifying and modifying unhelpful thinking patterns affords us the ability to manage our emotions more effectively. In my practice, I also emphasize the importance of mindfulness, given our tendency to be overwhelmed by today's many distractions. Breathing and mindfulness techniques help to reduce anxiety, expand awareness, build resilience, and achieve greater degrees of acceptance. I have experience in suicide prevention and teen crisis counseling, and I currently work with the military veteran population, having recently appeared on Good Day LA to discuss the importance of trauma-informed care. Feel free to reach out with any questions. There has never been a better time to focus on taking care of ourselves, and entering into therapy can be an important first step to real change.

Life stories are sometimes saturated in trauma, my hope is to help find positive narratives that assist peoples healing through their resilience. My dedication to 'lived in experiences' bridges new beginnings through a journey of strengths. My practice is a general practice for all individuals, couples and families. Through post-modern modalities and EMDR therapy I help individuals address layers of trauma, multigenerational trauma and current life issues. With life stories that can be saturated in trauma, my hope is to help people on their journey of the 'authentic self'.

I think of the therapeutic relationship like a lighthouse guiding a ship through shifting tides. Together, we shine light on hidden emotional patterns, past experiences, and present struggles—helping you navigate toward greater clarity and well-being. While my foundation is psychodynamic, which explores the unconscious roots of your thoughts and feelings, I also work in a collaborative and integrative way—tailoring therapy to your specific needs, goals, and pace. Whether you're dealing with anxiety, grief, relationship challenges, or simply seeking greater self-understanding, I offer a safe, engaging space for reflection, growth, and change. I work with private-pay clients seeking individual therapy that is personalized, thoughtful, and deeply respectful of your unique story.

I lived in 3 different countries throughout my formative years which has inspired in me a love for multiculturalism, open-heartedness, resilience, and a passion for helping people heal. My therapy style is warm and compassionate. I am empathetic, direct, and have an ability to make people feel at ease. Where appropriate, I draw from my interest, knowledge, and experience with mythology and eco-therapy to assist my clients. I consider it an honor to help clients reconnect with themselves, move towards self-love, attain more peaceful relationships, and improve their life circumstances. I am an LGBTQIA+ affirming therapist. Additionally, I am genuinely respectful and considerate of all different sexual and gender identities, cultures, ethnicities, and faiths. “The essence of therapy is in making clients feel deeply known as they really are and deeply accepted as they really are” – David G. Martin My approach to working with clients begins with a 15 minute free phone consultation to determine the suitability of therapist to client, to determine whether services would be appropriate, and to set the fee for treatment. Afterward, my approach involves building upon clients strengths, providing psycho-education, exploring the presenting problem or symptoms, teaching self-regulation skills, and helping clients to manage the difficulties in their lives. Additionally, I utilize my knowledge of somatic psychology, EMDR, mythology, archetypes, and psychoanalytic techniques to help clients to get to the core of their problem. Every person has unique sets of dynamics, experiences, and diversity that make up who they are. The nuances and the reasons why people come to therapy are as diverse as the people themselves. Thus, I use a multi-modal approach to create an individualized treatment plan for each client with the client’s involvement. The therapeutic container allows us to see and to be seen- and when that happens- you make “true” art.

Some days it feels like you’re just moving through the motions—disconnected, restless, or caught in patterns you don’t want to keep repeating. Maybe you find yourself spiraling in anxiety, second-guessing every decision, or numbing out just to get by. Even when life looks “fine,” it can feel heavy, unfulfilling, or like you’re stuck in cycles you can’t break on your own. In our work together, you don’t need to have the right words or a clear plan. I’ll meet you exactly where you are. Therapy with me is collaborative and compassionate—we’ll slow things down, get curious about what’s really happening underneath, and notice not only the stories you carry but also how your body holds them. I blend conversation with body-based practices so you can begin to understand your patterns in a new way and try out different responses that feel more authentic and grounded. My hope is that therapy gives you space to reconnect with yourself—the parts of you that feel buried under self-doubt, stress, or old habits—and begin to live in a way that feels steadier and more true. Change doesn’t happen overnight, but with support, it is possible to step out of autopilot, soften the inner critic, and build a life that feels more aligned with who you really are. In our sessions, nothing is off-limits. You can bring your doubts, grief, hopes, and questions without fear of judgment. My role is to create a space where you feel seen, supported, and empowered to make the changes that feel right for you, at your pace. If you’re ready to explore what’s possible beyond just “getting by,” I’d be honored to walk that path with you.
