I am an Associate Marriage and Family Therapist (#147369). I hold a Master’s in Clinical Psychology from Antioch University Los Angeles and a B.A. in Creative Writing from the University of Southern California.

I’m fascinated by how we express ourselves and with what is unspoken among us.

I’ve completed extensive 2-year training and received a certificate in psychoanalytic psychotherapy at the Wright Institute Los Angeles (WILA) working with a diverse adult population. My practice is continuously informed by a curiosity for and understanding of developmental processes with a keen interest in early life development. I am currently continuing my learning in this area in the child and adolescent psychoanalytic psychotherapy program at the New Center for Psychoanalysis. 

My approach is integrative and holistic.

I enjoy practicing from a depth-oriented, psychoanalytic framework rooted in the body as I find it gives individuals an opportunity to come in genuine contact with themselves. The foundation of my approach is the belief that who we are — our sense of self and how we move in the world — is immensely shaped by our individual temperaments along with our developmental imprints for relating and experiencing. With this in mind, I bring Feminist and existential perspectives to my lens in understanding how one is impacted by the systems we inhabit and how we may expand our sense of agency.

Let’s grow and learn together.

I work with individuals from all walks of life who may have concerns about not having the experience of being felt with and by others, navigating the balance of intimacy and agency in relation to others, and understanding their internal world more richly. I’m committed to affirming one’s exploration of the values that are essential and unique to you. I work well with folks who yearn to engage the fullest sense of their humanity. My working style is to cultivate a therapeutic relationship with you that fosters trust and a sense of play so that you may be known and held more fully. Through engaging with another, I see the therapeutic potential lies in drawing out what one is experiencing, has experienced and has potential to experience by creating expression and language together.
