My practice is helping others develop the skills they need to become more resilient to the pressures and stressors of life and to live a meaningful authentic life, striving towards wholeness. Suffering is part of life, and can we learn to be with it, possibly even lean into it, and listen for what it might be wanting us to learn. Depression, anxiety, cravings, problems in relationships, feeling stuck and loss of meaning, can occur when we aren't connected to our authentic selves. Together we will work towards creating and nurturing who you uniquely are in the world. When we become more aware – we can open to life.

I have been practicing and working in the mental health field for just over 10 years. I am currently a doctoral candidate for the social work program at USC. I have experience in treating mental health issues such as depression, anxiety, grief and loss, parenting, crises, emotional and behavioral problems, and everyday life stressors. Everyone goes through ups and downs in life and I believe the most darkest and difficult times can be lifted up. "Everything you go through will grow you." -Robert Tew

My therapeutic style is somatic, empathetic and appropriately humorous. I believe in a holistic approach to therapy, incorporating and joining mind, body and soul. I use breath work to focus on expanding your capacity to feel emotions; use awareness of tension to identify behaviors; and manage physiological sensations that overwhelm you. I enjoy working with individuals, couples and families struggling with trust, communication and trauma issues. I believe somatic therapy is helpful in relieving anxiety and depression by becoming aware of what overwhelms you and leaves you feeling stuck in a cycle that you can't stop.

Are you looking to get to the root of the issue? Maybe you’re starting to recognize patterns and identified triggers that may have stemmed from childhood wounds or past relationships/experiences. My ideal client is curious about themselves and reflective as I use an insight-oriented approach to work together to identify patterns in your life and where they stem from. I also use a narrative theoretical orientation, believing that after we’ve understood ourselves using compassionate lens, we have the power to re-author our stories or create our own narrative.

I work with folks dealing with a variety of life challenges including anxiety, depression, shame, gender dysphoria, trauma, and low self-esteem. My clinical focus is working with members of the queer community, and I am particularly interested in working with transgender and gender non-conforming adults and adolescents and their families as well as individuals and partners involved in polyamorous and non-monogamous relationships. Therapy is a space for healing, but I believe that it is equally important that we center joy, growth, and resilience in this work as well.

Have you been feeling increasingly on edge, easily distracted, or irritable? Do you catch yourself overanalyzing and questioning decisions or interactions with other people? Do you feel disconnected, lonely, or unsure of yourself? These are all natural feelings, and we all struggle sometimes. But occasionally life throws one thing too many at us and moving forward requires a little more work. This can be especially true if you have recently experienced a significant life change, such as relationship break up, death of a loved one, career change, or welcoming a child. Therapy can offer the needed support and change of perspective.

In my practice, I strive to create relationships with my clients that foster their growth and help them achieve their full potential. I value empathy and unconditional positive regard toward my clients. Understanding is called for when someone is hurting, confused, anxious, alienated, or doubtful of their self-worth. The gentle, empathic approach provides insight and healing. I respect the courage and vulnerability to come to therapy and try to take good care of my client's trust in me.

My goal is to create an empowering space to draw from your strengths in overcoming current challenges. I work collaboratively with clients to establish ongoing, flexible goals for therapy to make our sessions most effective. I individualize therapy to each person using a range of techniques and approaches. I am particularly interested in the stories we tell about our lives and the meaning we make of them. My clients describe me as warm, positive, and insightful.

Coming from a holistic, mind-body, humanistic, compassionate perspective, I work with clients who desire to improve the quality of their lives, reducing stress and emotional pain. Clients may suffer from loneliness, depression, low self-esteem, anxiety or loss. They may need help with communication awareness, grounding methods, self-care, sexual fulfillment or life purpose. These conditions are more normal than abnormal, while sometimes feeling overwhelming. I invite clients to listen to and trust their innate wisdom, guiding them to identify and move through the obstacles preventing them from living their life to the fullest.

If change were as simple as Cher telling Nicholas Cage in Moonstruck to "Snap out of it!" there would be no need for therapists. While experiencing pain is difficult, it is often a catalyst for growth. As a licensed Therapist for 18 years, I specialize in helping people heal their emotional injuries and move through the "stuck" places that prevent them from living fuller and more meaningful lives. Resilience increases by working through challenges.

I love helping my clients not just survive, but thrive. Whether or not you've tried therapy before, deciding to get experienced support is the first step to a better life. While some of my clients initially reach out in moments of crisis or great need, others are doing fine or even "thriving" (in the eyes of peers and loved ones) but feel like they can build greater happiness and meaning with a regular therapeutic relationship. You'll gain personal insight, a stronger confidence in your choices and greater resiliency in navigating life and relationship challenges.
