As a Los Angeles-based clinical psychologist, I provide a warm, highly collaborative space for individuals navigating trauma, anxiety, depression, and complex life transitions. While I bring deep clinical expertise, I carefully tailor my approach to your unique psychological landscape. My practice is integrative and interpersonal—blending psychodynamic insight, solution-focused tools, and mind-body science to treat the whole person. Rooted in LGBTQIA+ affirmative, neurodiversity-affirming, and culturally responsive care, I am dedicated to building a robust relational space. Together, we will co-create a reparative therapeutic experience that honors your lived reality, decodes your unique mind, and cultivates lasting resilience.
In our first session, we will focus on building a safe, trusting foundation while discussing what brings you to therapy and what you hope to achieve. We will explore your current challenges, relevant history, and personal strengths, and if needed, utilizing evidence-based clinical measures to help guide our focus. You can expect a compassionate, non-judgmental dialogue where we begin mapping out a practical, personalized path forward tailored to your unique goals.
Because our deepest psychological wounds occur within relationships, they demand a relational cure. My practice is grounded in this philosophy, offering a secure, attuned therapeutic alliance where your ingrained patterns and defenses can safely surface without the threat of abandonment. I draw on rigorous psychoanalytic training, somatic mind-body approaches, and a diverse background spanning sport psychology, the arts, and systemic advocacy, I help you uncover the root causes of chronic stress and emotional overwhelm. Together, we do not simply analyze your past; we engage with it in real-time. By navigating these dynamics through deep co-regulation, we move beyond isolated coping skills to actively rewire your nervous system and grow through reparative experiences. I know firsthand how broken and frustrating the healthcare system is, often creating massive barriers to the care you deserve. I joined this platform to help bridge that gap. Offering sessions here allows you to bypass systemic hurdles, easily connect with me online, and actually use your insurance benefits to make therapy affordable. I am committed to client advocacy, and this is a practical way to ensure high-quality care reaches the people who need it.
My Ideal Client My ideal clients are individuals—from adolescents to adults—who are ready to move beyond quick fixes and explore the deeper roots of their challenges. I am best positioned to serve those navigating complex trauma, identity exploration (including LGBTQIA+ and gender identity), and the unique realities of neurodivergence, such as late-diagnosed ADHD or autism. I also work exceptionally well with high-performance professionals, athletes, and women navigating significant hormonal transitions (such as PMDD, fertility, or menopause) who are experiencing chronic stress, burnout, or a disconnect between mind and body. You are a great fit for my practice if you value a collaborative, affirming, and intellectually engaging therapeutic relationship. You may feel weighed down by systemic stressors, recurring relationship patterns, or unresolved childhood experiences, and you are seeking a therapist who honors your lived experience without judgment. Whether you are looking to understand how your unique brain works, heal from past wounds, or reclaim your personal power, we will work together to build a practical, compassionate, and deeply authentic path forward.
I utilize relational, attachment-based, and psychodynamic approaches to help you explore how early life experiences and relationships shape your current patterns. Together, we will examine the root causes of recurring conflicts, emotional overwhelm, or intimacy issues, using our therapeutic relationship as a secure base. This deep, interpersonal work fosters profound self-awareness, helping you break unhelpful cycles and build healthier, more fulfilling connections.
My practice is deeply rooted in trauma-informed, gender-affirming, and culturally sensitive care. I recognize the profound impact that systemic oppression, societal trauma, and unresolved past experiences have on mental health. We will work collaboratively in a safe, non-judgmental space that honors your unique identity and background, empowering you to process trauma at a comfortable pace while building resilience and authentic self-acceptance.
Recognizing that emotional distress lives in both the mind and the body, I use an integrative approach that blends cognitive strategies with somatic (mind-body) awareness. By connecting your physical sensations with your thoughts and emotions, we can better regulate your nervous system and manage chronic stress, panic, or anxiety. This holistic method ensures that treatment is flexibly tailored to your specific needs, treating you as a whole person rather than just a set of symptoms.
