I believe the world could be a better place if we could all be kinder to one another. Working together and building strong connections can be helpful when struggling with life’s ups and downs. As a therapist, I help with academic issues, body image, self-esteem, self-harm, technology addiction, and sexual assault. I use a holistic, patient-centered approach to create a safe and supportive environment. By rewiring the brain, we create changes in our thought patterns, emotional responses, and behaviors.

Every person is a compilation of unique traits, experiences, personality, physiology, and socio-cultural factors. All of these things shaped you into who you are. Some of these factors and experiences may have been painful, making life difficult to navigate or cope with. These experiences may have changed how you function, your relationship with others, how you see and attract others, and the relationship with yourself. Therapy is for you if you are looking to process trauma, lessen symptoms, learn coping skills, unlearn harmful patterns, grow, and have more insight into yourself and your unconscious processes.

For as long as you can remember, you’ve felt different. You learned early on that there were parts of your identity that you had to hide. So, you built a façade to protect yourself. You felt safer pretending you were just like everybody else. As you’ve gotten older, you’ve learned to accept these parts of your identity more, but it still feels like you’re hiding. You still watch what you say and how you behave around certain people. And a part of you continues trying to conform to society’s expectations. You wish you could just be your authentic self without fear of judgment, but you don’t know how. You feel trapped and helpless.

We all need to be seen & witnessed. Whatever it is that feels too hard—be it exploring identity, navigating attachment wounds, combating obsessional sequences, or processing the collective grief in the world—one of the greatest gifts you can give to yourself is dedicated time just for you & your needs. I would be honored to walk with you on your path. For me, therapy is relational. The human on the other side of the room (or screen) should feel like precisely that: a human! Together, we will create a container in which you can authentically examine your relationships with others as well as the pivotal relationship to self.

As an empathic and nurturing clinician, I specialize in treating clients suffering from diverse issues, including anxiety, depression, post-traumatic stress disorder, and trauma. I started my journey as a domestic violence and rape prosecutor and became very committed to understanding the cycle of abuse and the psychological scars it leaves behind. I trained exclusively for three years at the Maple Counseling Center. Additionally, I have my doctorate in clinical psychology from Reiss Davis, focusing on how trauma affects primary attachments and neurobiological functioning, and my MSW from UCLA.
