My approach to therapy is non-pathologizing. I believe our experiences and the environment we grow up in shape how we feel and respond to the world. I believe your symptoms are purposeful and that you do everything you do for a good reason.

When we work together, we will work to identify the filters through which you view yourself and the world around you, understand and appreciate why they developed, and move toward seeing things clearly for what they are. By understanding what’s beneath the surface, you can begin to relate to your emotions in a different way, and start to make conscious choices aligned with your values.

I will act as a guide, but I believe you already have everything you need to heal and experience life fully. To support you through this process, I primarily use relational and psychodynamic approaches. I also integrate techniques from Internal Family Systems and Somatic Therapy.

East coast-born and California-based, my style is no BS with plenty of humor, yet grounded in compassion, non-judgment, and kind curiosity.
