You want to feel heard and understood, yet something is still missing—like you’re carrying more than you should on your own. If you’re struggling with anxiety, low mood, or feeling disconnected from yourself, you’re not alone. Using a holistic and mindful approach, I help clients reduce emotional pain, manage unwanted symptoms, and reconnect with a stronger sense of self through self-compassion and intentional self-care.
I am a trauma-certified CBT therapist who supports individuals in building confidence, self-worth, and emotional resilience. I specialize in working with anxiety, anger management, relationship challenges, and trauma, including experiences of sexual abuse. My approach is collaborative, practical, and tailored to your unique needs.
When you begin to prioritize yourself, meaningful changes can happen—not only within you, but in your relationships as well. Together, we’ll focus on creating lasting growth by strengthening the skills and inner resources you already have.

Clients should know that I provide a warm, supportive, and nonjudgmental space where they can feel safe to be themselves. I specialize in working with women, adolescents, and children, as well as individuals impacted by the child welfare system, including foster care, adoption, and family separation. I understand how trauma, attachment disruptions, and life transitions can shape emotions, relationships, and self-worth.
My approach is compassionate, collaborative, and practical. I aim to help clients feel heard and understood while also offering tools and strategies they can use in their daily lives. I tailor therapy to each client’s unique needs and developmental stage, meeting them where they are and moving at a pace that feels comfortable.
I value building strong, trusting relationships and believe that healing happens through connection, insight, and consistent support. My goal is to help clients strengthen resilience, gain clarity, and feel more confident navigating life’s challenges.

I am a licensed psychotherapist with 20 years of clinical experience working with anxiety, depression and complicated relationships among many other concerns. I tend to use a more logic-driven, analytical structured approach with my clients where together we try to understand and analyze patterns of behavior that are causing problems and getting in the way of their lives. As a result, neurodivergents and people who work in the hard sciences, technology fields, or are business executives tend to respond very positively to my style and approach. I also work with mood disorders, unconventional or complicated relationships, historical spiritual abuse and military veterans.
Specialty in AI and technology:
I also specialize in the psychology of AI, technology and how it affects society and relationships. For 7 months last year, I spent extensive time within AI-user online communities to learn about their firsthand experiences involving AI-related harm and parasocial relationships. I was featured in the 2026 title How to Talk to AI (And How Not To) by BBC journalist and author Jamie Bartlett, where I discussed parasocial relationships in AI use.
Hobbies:
I love the outdoors, backpacking and going on road trips with my dog. I teach outdoor skills in a wilderness class each winter. I also love California native plants and am a trained naturalist.

Three ideas are at the heart of my work: You are not the problem; the problem is the problem; the problem is not yours alone to solve. Therapy with me is a space for you to explore and be affirmed in your identity, while understanding the ways you came to be and are still becoming.

I'm a psychiatric nurse practitioner based in California, and I built my practice around being a true advocate for the people I work with. I trained in both medication management and therapy, and I find that care is most effective when those two things work together. Whether you are managing a mood disorder, navigating anxiety or depression, or figuring out the right psychiatric medications, I take time to understand you as a whole person, not just a list of symptoms. My goal is for every client to feel genuinely heard, supported, and in control of their own mental health journey.
