I support folks experiencing anxiety, burn out, shame, stress, depression, grief, and life transitions. My approach is relational and psychodynamic, and I embrace multicultural and anti-oppressive ideologies in my work. I'm especially passionate about helping women and girls build confidence and feel fulfilled in their relationships, whether that's through self exploration or learning tools to create meaningful change. I am neurodivergent and LGBTQIA+ affirming, and work with people of any and all ages struggling with low self-esteem, perfectionism, and emotional regulation.

In Westwood near UCLA, I specialize in anxiety, depression, trauma, addictions, eating disorders, breast cancer and relationships. I provide psychotherapy for adults and children in a safe, supportive environment where we will explore behaviors and emotions that hamper healthy self-expression and relationships. By identifying personal goals we can gain a better understanding of the repetitive patterns that block these goals. Often coping strategies from childhood are no longer useful. By becoming mindful of these patterns, we can begin to let these patterns go and begin to form new patterns that will move us in the direction we want.

Relationships are complicated, especially the relationships that are most important to us. Many of us feel the need for connection, security, and love. However, sometimes we end up hurt and alone. Relational pain can show up as anxiety, fear, depression or grief, among other things. I firmly believe validation, empathy, and humor are the most powerful tools for helping clients experience lasting change. My most significant reward as a professional helper is watching my clients go from despair to possibility.

Perhaps the concept of truly loving yourself feels very foreign to you; you might have tried other types of therapy or read self-help books but still face a harsh, almost relentless, inner critic. I specialize in working with people struggling with: fears of being a burden, the wound of feeling "not enough," self acceptance, and difficulty feeling comfortable in relationships. As well as couples who are seeking: better communication, to break repeated patterns of fighting, increase connection and intimacy, and rekindle what once was.
