As an integrative therapist it is important to me to work from an intersectional lens where we can explore societal expectations and cultural norms in relation to identity and mental health. I tend to draw from psychodynamic and relational techniques to help empower and validate your experience of the world. I firmly believe that the therapeutic relationship is one of the most pivotal contributors to transformation and healing. While it is crucial for you to feel supported while addressing challenging emotions, I also recognize the importance of allowing space for levity and humor.

We all know that fairy tale endings are rare. For the majority of us, the real challenge is figuring out what happiness means to us. From a young age, we are bombarded with ideas of what it should be, but it's up to us to determine our own meaning. It's not easy - we're often influenced by family, friends, education, and society in our pursuit of happiness. But ultimately, it takes bravery and accountability to face each day and make choices for our own well-being.

Therapy is a deeply personal, multifaceted journey inward in an already complex world. To those who choose to venture down this road, the process can leave one feeling emotional and vulnerable, but it will also be healing, enlightening and enriching. Taking steps down this path is a virtuous act and I am here to honor you and your process. Together we will gently explore what may be causing you pain. Healing is at the heart of my practice - what you will experience with me is empathy, non-judgmental compassion, and authenticity. My therapeutic style is warm, energetic and engaged.

I like to be real with people. I find the best way to work with individuals and couples is to be present, ask the right questions, and give honest feedback. Whether you are coming to therapy for personal growth, a relationship or family issue, healing from loss, past trauma, or anything else, I want to explore who you are, how your life experiences have affected you and your relationships, ways in which those experiences keep replaying themselves, and how to get you out of the cycle. My approach is to provide a comfortable and real space to talk, explore and work on feeling better.

Therapy for artists and creatives. Are you an artist or creative individual struggling to break free from anxiety, depression, or self-criticism? Do you find yourself overwhelmed by the weight of your own perfectionism or the relentless voice of your inner critic? If so, you're not alone, and I'm here to help. Whether it's the fear of failure, performance anxiety, or the constant worry about the future, anxiety can be a significant obstacle for creative individuals.

We live in a world of countless binaries, expectations, and assumptions about our lives, and escaping them in order to come into our own can be an incredibly difficult process. Perhaps you are here because you are struggling with obstacles in your life, or feel lost and unsure of what's next for you. Perhaps you are struggling with your identity or your personal relationships. Whatever the reason, you have already begun the process of seeking help and that means a great deal. I am licensed in the states of California, Idaho, and Nevada and can offer telehealth to clients in any of those states.

Anxious, depressed, or stuck? I work to create a safe, non-judgmental space for adults and adolescents of all religions, races, sexualities, and genders to process their life needs, wants, and fears. I provide psychotherapy within the context of a therapeutic working alliance; by first building trust and safety in the therapeutic relationship, one can then work towards tackling larger life goals. I work from a core belief that our minds and bodies are deeply connected. Treating the whole person, including the impact of stress on their physical body, is an important component to treating trauma, grief, anxiety, depression, and more.
