My path to this work began with caring for others. Years as a caregiver left me with a lasting passion for working with children and families, and for creating safe, nurturing spaces where growth and development can unfold. As I began working with adults, that passion deepened into a fascination with psychological development, and with how our earliest experiences shape the thoughts, emotions, and behaviors we carry into adulthood.

I hold a Master's degree in Clinical Psychology from Antioch University Los Angeles, and I've trained in a wide range of approaches since. I'm especially drawn to depth-oriented work, and my practice integrates psychodynamic therapy, mindfulness, somatic-based interventions, and cognitive behavioral therapy (CBT), along with play therapy for children.

In our work together, we'll set goals that feel meaningful to you and gently explore the places where you may feel stuck, disempowered, or in need of new insight and support. From there, we'll build new tools and perspectives, so you can move through life with a greater sense of agency over your own experience.
