You may understand yourself really well and still wonder why certain things have such a hold on you. Why is it so hard to say no? Why does someone’s disappointment feel unbearable? Why can one interaction stay with you all night? I work with adults navigating anxiety, trauma, relationship patterns, boundaries, and the lasting impact of difficult experiences.

I am a Licensed Marriage & Family Therapist and I currently work remotely in California. I have a Master's degree in Clinical Psychology from Pepperdine University, and I have been licensed in Marriage & Family Therapy since 2008. I spent the first half of my career in public service, specifically working in the nonprofit sector and on the county level in Los Angeles, Orange and Monterey Counties. I started my private practice in 2012, and since that time I've worked primarily with individual adults experiencing trauma-related symptoms, mood dysregulation (anxiety, depression), and relational challenges (codependence, narcissism, attachment issues, fractured family of origin).
