LCSW, 8 years of experience
Ever feel like life’s in chaos mode, and you’re just along for the ride? Therapy won’t fix everything overnight, but it can help life feel more manageable and more yours. Let's dig deep & evolve your growth journey! With a background in the social work field and entertainment business, I blend therapeutic expertise with a deep understanding of storytelling, creative pressure, and emotional resilience, especially for those navigating fast-paced, high-demand industries where burnout and self-doubt often collide. I am originally from Northern California and have been in LA for 22 years, I love traveling, movies, and hanging with my dog, friends, and boyfriend. I care deeply about people’s happiness and safety, and try to bring an optimistic but realistic outlook to everything I do.
As my client you might arrive feeling distant from the person you hope to be, and gradually find yourself becoming someone who feels deeply familiar. I blend tools like EMDR, Psychodynamic, CBT, and IFS theories to help folks get to know themselves better, work through the hard stuff, and actually make changes that stick. Think insight + skills = real-life shifts.
I bring directness, curiosity, real talk, and a little irreverence to the therapy room. Healing doesn’t have to be stiff, I believe in compassion with backbone, creative tools that actually fit you, and making space for both hard truths and hopeful shifts.
I offer individual therapy across California, especially for creatives, professionals, and LGBTQ+. Using EMDR and a flexible, relational approach, I support clients through anxiety, depression, trauma, identity and modern relational dynamics & stress, and life transitions. Together, we explore what’s underneath so you can find more balance, purpose, and direction. EMDR therapy is a powerful and transformative approach that helps individuals process past adverse experiences and reframe deeply ingrained, maladaptive core beliefs.
CBT is highly effective in addressing a wide range of mental health challenges. By understanding and reframing the beliefs that shape our unconscious patterns, it empowers individuals to create a more comfortable and confident experience in their daily lives.

Internal Family Systems (IFS) is a therapeutic approach based on the idea that each of us is made up of different parts or sub-personalities. By recognizing, understanding, and integrating these parts, we can achieve greater balance, inner peace, and a stronger sense of self-worth.
DBT is an effective approach for addressing emotional dysregulation. By learning to hold space for the full range of human emotions, individuals can reduce suffering and cultivate a deeper sense of self-compassion and appreciation.
