Therapist

Virtual • California


I'm so glad you're here. Reaching out for help takes a

lot of courage. I work with adults, adolescents, and seniors moving through anxiety, depression, trauma, grief and loss, and the relationship changes and life transitions that come with them. In a session with me you can expect utmost empathy, compassion, and a safe, non-judgmental space to navigate and process — whether you're sitting with

something painful or simply trying to understand yourself

more fully. My hope is that you leave each session feeling

more understood and more connected to what matters

most to you.

Therapist

I'm a licensed psychotherapist and I've been working clinically since 2015. I use David Burns' TEAM-CBT approach (he has several great books you might be familiar with). However, sometimes CBT feels too focused on thoughts. In those cases, I tend to use DBT interventions which include more emotional awareness and regulation.
