Being human can be hard. Profoundly beautiful, but really hard.

We all deserve a place to process life experiences and challenges, develop insight into who we are and how we move about in the world, and heal from traumas and hurts. Therapy can be a designated safe, and sacred, space to do all of that while gaining tools and skills for navigating our daily life. I am obviously biased, but I feel most humans could really benefit from having such a space and being able to provide that for clients is one of the profound privileges of my job.

Therapy can look all different kinds of ways depending on your needs and style.

Sometimes, it means we do a deep dive into the past to gain a better understanding of the roads you have traveled while creating a chance for healing…

… and, sometimes, it means we really focus in the here-and-now to navigate current challenges impacting your life.

Often, it means a combination of the two.

I am a diversity celebrating, LGTBQ+ Allied and affirming, trauma-informed, California Board of Behavioral Sciences licensed psychotherapist ( LMFT #132400). I work with clients throughout the life span* seeking support in navigating challenges, or changes, in life. I often work with people experiencing things like anxiety, depression, stress, feelings of being overwhelmed, feeling of “not being good enough”, worry over decisions or transitions, people experiencing grief and loss, people wanting to process and heal from trauma or those looking to gain insight into who they are and find more meaning and fulfillment in life. I find that times of transition can be really good times to seek out additional support through therapy as well. In addition to working with individuals, I really enjoy offering space to couples or families who feel like they need some support to work “better” and more in alignment with who they want to be for themselves and each other- what kind of space they want to create within that relationship.

So much of how effective therapy depends on finding the right fit in a therapist- I know how daunting this task can be and I wish I could streamline it for you…but, I can cheer you on and commend you for the bravery of beginning it. I offer, free, 15-minute consultations so we can meet and you can get a sense of if I might be the right fit. I encourage you to try this out. My ego is not involved in this-I am awesome, but you may need a different style of awesome, and that is ok! If we talk and feel it isn’t the right match I am also happy to help connect you with someone who may be better suited for your needs. You deserve to feel safe and supported : )

*Unfortunately, I am currently not working with clients under the age of 9 because I am only working with clients virtually, through telehealth, and, in general, it is way more beneficial for a younger kiddo to be seen in person where they can play, engaged, and interact in the same space with their therapist. I am really happy to be a resource for anyone seeking support for their younger children though, as it is a deep passion of mine.
