When you live with constant anxiety, relational stress, or emotional burnout, just getting through the day can feel overwhelming. You might find yourself wondering why you keep getting stuck in the same painful patterns, no matter how hard you try to think differently or push through. In my practice, I go far beyond surface-level advice or simple “think positive” techniques. I believe that the ways you react, protect yourself, or struggle today are not personal failures; they are smart adaptations your body, mind, and nervous system created to help you survive earlier in life. My goal is to offer a safe, steady, and nonjudgmental space where your whole self can finally slow down and feel deeply seen. Together, we bring gentle curiosity and somatic awareness to these protective patterns. Rather than forcing rigid behavior changes from the top down, we work to release old trauma and stress from the roots up. By honoring the protective parts of yourself and caring for your nervous system, you can learn to truly trust yourself again, heal from past pain, and build a quiet, steady sense of self-worth from the inside out.

Healing unfolds when the connection between mind, body, and spirit is gently supported and understood. Rooted in a relational, trauma-informed approach, I offer a compassionate space where you feel seen, heard, and accepted at your own pace. I welcome people of all identities and backgrounds and proudly affirm the LGBTQIA+ community. Together, we'll explore how personal experiences, generational trauma, culture, and societal influences shape your relationships, beliefs, and sense of self, creating space for greater healing, connection, and inner harmony. I offer therapy that supports the nervous system in healing from overwhelm and past experiences that may feel present in your daily life. Using approaches like EMDR, parts work, attachment-focused therapy, and the Structural Dissociation Model, we gently explore survival responses, fostering greater integration and creating new ways of experiencing yourself. This work helps you cultivate greater self-awareness, connect with your inner world, and develop a deeper sense of safety within yourself. I can support you in releasing long-held protective patterns, strengthening self-trust, and living with greater ease and choice. If you're ready to reconnect with your inner wisdom, I would be honored to walk with you!

I work with adults who want to improve their self-esteem. Do you experience anxiety, depression, or interpersonal difficulties? Do you have an anxious or avoidant attachment style? If you struggle with making decisions, if you're not sure how to navigate relationships, or if you sometimes just feel "stuck," therapy can be beneficial. Early trauma and attachment injuries can cause ruptures to one's sense of self, but a safe therapeutic relationship can help create a corrective relational experience that will positively impact your relationship with yourself and others. I use a combination of client-focused relational therapies, along with somatic healing and Brainspotting for deeper levels of processing. I offer a safe therapeutic environment for you to explore your feelings, behaviors, and interpersonal patterns. I'll provide you with tools to help you create meaningful change in alignment with your values. I firmly believe "it's the relationship that heals." It is my sincerest intention to provide the safety, tools, and encouragement you need to explore your deepest needs, feelings, and desires. You are not alone, and you deserve the time and space to create the life you want. Please reach out for a 15-minute phone consultation to discuss further.

I am a clinical psychologist located in Manhattan Beach, where I have practiced for several years.  My work with people is based on a core belief that new relationships have the ability to profoundly change and improve peoples? lives.  I view my role as an active participant and strive to create a safe and supportive place in which together we can explore and try to understand whatever is making life difficult.

Are you overwhelmed? Does it feel like something is holding you back from achieving your goals? Are you struggling with persistent negative thoughts or self-doubt? Together we can work to help equip you with the necessary tools for you to face and overcome your challenges. Whether you're struggling with trauma and PTSD, intimacy issues, overcoming addiction, or grief, it is important that you know you don't have to be alone in this journey. I have the experience to help you achieve your goals, overcome these struggles, and live a more fulfilling and meaningful life. Through my somatic therapy training, I can teach you the capacity to heal from complex traumas, family historical behavioral patterns, sexual trauma or PTSD. By learning how your physical symptoms relate to your emotional experiences, from the fight or flight (neuro-sympathetic) nervous system, a person can heal not only emotionally but physically. Know you have taken an important first step. With warmth and empathy, I can help you overcome your struggles. I will provide a safe and nurturing space for you that allows you to express yourself free of judgement and find your true voice. Together, we can discover the inner peace and joy, we all seek.

Feeling down, depressed or anxious can make an everyday task seem daunting. Resolution is within reach, and I am here to help you become the best version of yourself. Working in a direct approach and within different theoretical modalities, my goal is to collaborate with you as you are the expert in your life. Whatever it is that you're experiencing, know that things can change. Together we'll create an environment that is safe and conducive of healing. This is your journey and I am here to walk along side you.

I work from a compassionate, non-judgemental, client-centered perspective. I believe that the unique rapport that develops between client and therapist is one of the major components of emotional and psychological healing. Creating a therapeutic environment in which you--the client--can feel safe and explore your feelings is my primary objective.

In my practice as a therapist I use the research on what works to help my clients get the outcomes they want: better relationships, managed anxiety, less depression, and more control over life. I pursued a few paths in life before my career in mental health. I studied Modern Literature at the University of California, Santa Cruz. I worked for years as a math, science and SAT tutor. I trained and competed extensively in Brazilian Jiu Jitsu. My approach as a therapist is multidisciplinary, drawing on my previous experience coaching and educating adolescents and adults in athletic and academic environments. Every client has unique needs so I do not limit our work into any single modality. I blend a variety of techniques to create a customized approach to treatment for each individual. The primary modalities I draw influence from are cognitive behavioral, humanistic, and dynamic psychotherapy. Whether you’re meeting with me as your first time entering therapy or have sought out help in the past and are looking for the right match for your journey moving forward, this is an exciting step to take! Therapy is a place to develop and apply philosophy to get to a different place than we are able to get on our own. I'm excited to join you!

I work with clients who are coming to therapy seeking relief. Relief from intrusive or obsessive thoughts, relief from tired family dynamics, relief from falling into the same cycles of dating, and relief from the anxiety and stress of being a person today. To me, therapy isn’t about immediately feeling better, but about sifting through what makes us uncomfortable, what feels difficult, and what causes the tears. We are in this space to work on the relationship that we often forget to prioritize, the one we have with ourselves. I received my Master’s in Clinical Psychology from Antioch University, after previously earning a Bachelor of Social Work from Skidmore College. My background in social work, combined with my training as a restorative justice facilitator, led me to seek a field of work that is about connection, compassion, and self-reflection.

I know how scary it can be when you are facing a problem in your life that you can't solve by yourself. For most of us, reaching out for help is not easy. My approach to therapy centers around the belief that we need CONNECTION in order to heal. This is why most self-help books aren't as effective as they could be. There is a lot of potential good advice out there but in the absence of a supportive and caring connection, most of it is useless.I am an experienced and respected healer and my passion is helping people face crisis and transitions in their lives with support and guidance. You don't have to do it alone! The relationship between the client and myself IS the healing piece. From that connection, you will feel safe and empowered. Then, exploring your problems seems manageable and finding solutions becomes possible.Lastly, Something else I believe very strongly is the potential to use the obstacles in our lives as stepping-stones. Within the framework of a healthy connection, I can help you to create a more fulfilling life.
