There's a point where you've already tried to think your way through it. You've read things, talked to people, maybe even tried therapy before. And what you're carrying is still there, just underneath everything.
I work with adults navigating trauma, anxiety, depression, and the stretches where life stops making sense for a while. I also work with couples, specifically the moments where things break down and the longer work of finding your way back to each other. My background is unusual for a therapist: before this field I spent years as an English professor and academic dean, and I came into this work through music and filmmaking. That path still shapes how I practice. I especially enjoy working with artists, musicians, and anyone whose creative life and mental health are tangled up together.
Hello...thank you for visiting. I am a graduate of Pepperdine University's Masters in Clinical Psychology program with an MFT emphasis, and did my undergraduate studies at the University of California - Santa Barbara. I am also a member of the Psi Chi International Honors Society in Psychology, am trained in Gottman Method Couples Therapy, and have experience working with a range of therapeutic approaches, including Attachment Theory, Narrative Therapy, Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), Family Systems, Positive Psychology, Emotion Focused Therapy (EFT), and Mindfulness models.
In my therapy practice, I’m here to truly see you and meet you where you are. I offer research-based (read: effective with positive outcomes) therapeutic approaches for individuals, families, and organizations, with a focus on creating a space where you feel understood and supported.

With a Master's in Social Work (MSW) from UC Berkeley and a PhD from UCLA, along with over 15 years as a California Licensed Clinical Social Worker, I bring both depth and experience to our work together.
I have experience working with individuals struggling with their mental health issues. Through therapy, we can discuss the areas of support that need your attention.
I am an experienced therapist of many years who feels lucky to be in a career that engages my intellect and my heart. I have always had my own private practice which enables me to be creative and flexible in my approach. People, in all their complexity and shared humanity, continue to fascinate.
I am a licensed marriage and family therapist with over 15 years of experience helping individuals heal, grow, and achieve meaningful change. I know that starting therapy can feel like a big step, and I deeply respect the courage it takes to begin. My goal is to create a warm, supportive environment where you feel truly seen, heard, and valued. What drives me most is the belief that everyone has the capacity to grow, adapt, and reconnect with themselves. My work is inspired by a genuine appreciation for each person’s unique story, and by the transformative power of empathy, understanding, and trust.
