Reaching out for support is a meaningful first step—an invitation to slow down, tune in, and reconnect with parts of yourself that haven’t had space to be seen or heard. Whether you’re carrying grief, navigating a difficult relationship, or seeking meaning in a time of change, it takes courage to pause and face what may have been long avoided. My role is to support you with compassion, care, and respect. I work with individuals, children, couples, and families using an integrative, relational approach.

With children, I incorporate play therapy, helping them express and process emotions in developmentally attuned ways. My work is informed by psychodynamic theory, attachment principles, and mindfulness-based practices, supported by over two decades as a yoga and meditation practitioner and teacher. I integrate somatic awareness; the body often carries what the mind hasn’t yet been able to express. This approach helps clients meet their experience with presence, draw on inner resources, and transform suffering from the inside out, discovering agency, emotional freedom, and mental flexibility.

I am committed to culturally responsive, trauma-informed care and view the therapeutic relationship grounded in attunement, trust, and collaboration as foundational to meaningful change. I hold a master’s in counseling psychology from Pacifica Graduate Institute and completed clinical training at Hyperion Behavioral Health Center in Ojai. For the past year, I’ve been working at Crossroads Psychotherapy Institute in Los Angeles.

My goal is to offer a space that honors your experience, centers emotional safety, and meets you where you are, so real insight and lasting change can take root. Being trusted to walk with others on their path to healing and growth is a gift I hold with great care and integrity.
