I’m based in California. All my sessions are held virtually, using a secure and private video platform so you can join from wherever feels most safe and comforting to you. Whether that’s your couch or your car, you get to choose the space that helps you settle in.
I don’t work directly with insurance providers, but I’m happy to provide a superbill you can submit for possible reimbursement if you have out-of-network benefits.
My fees are $185 for individuals and $200 for couples. If cost is a concern, feel free to reach out and we can explore what’s possible.
Most sessions are 50 minutes. Depending on the depth of the work, couples may opt for 60–75 minutes.
You can schedule a free 20-minute consultation or reach out through my contact form. We’ll talk about what you’re looking for and see if it feels like a good fit.
I ask for at least 24 hours’ notice to cancel or reschedule. Late cancellations are subject to the full session fee.
The first step is to schedule a consultation. This is a chance for us to connect, talk through what you’re looking for, and see if it feels like a good fit to work together.
You can reach out through my contact form or email to schedule a time. From there, I’ll guide you through the next steps and get you set up in my system.
People come to therapy for many different reasons, but most are looking for support with a challenge that feels difficult to navigate on their own.
In my practice, I commonly work with relationship challenges, anxiety, stress, grief, life transitions, self-esteem, and personal growth. I also work with couples who want to improve communication, rebuild trust, navigate conflict more effectively, and strengthen their relationship.
Whether you’re feeling stuck, overwhelmed, or simply looking to understand yourself and your relationships more deeply, therapy can provide a space to gain insight, learn practical skills, and create meaningful change.
From my perspective, therapy is about making the covert overt and growing awareness. It’s about bringing into awareness what may be operating outside of it.
I see therapy as having two parts. One is having a space to process emotions related to the past, present, and even what’s anticipated in the future. The second is learning how to work with what comes up by developing tools to regulate emotions, strengthen communication, set boundaries, express needs, and make requests.
Yes. Practical tools are an important part of my approach.
Whether we’re working individually or as a couple, you’ll learn strategies to communicate more effectively, navigate difficult emotions, and respond with greater intention rather than reacting automatically.
Depending on your goals, we may draw from the Gottman Method, Internal Family Systems (IFS), mindfulness, somatic awareness, and nervous system regulation. My goal is for you to leave therapy not only with greater insight, but with practical skills you can continue using long after our sessions together.
I work with both individuals and couples, and my practice is split fairly evenly between the two.
Individual therapy provides a space to better understand yourself, process difficult experiences, and make sense of the patterns that continue to show up in your life. Many of the people I work with are grieving a loss, experiencing anxiety, moving through a life transition, struggling in relationships, or seeking a deeper understanding of themselves.
My approach integrates Internal Family Systems (IFS), somatic therapy, mindfulness, and evidence based practices to help you build insight, strengthen emotional resilience, and create meaningful, lasting change.
To me, therapy is an opportunity to better understand your inner world.
It offers a space to explore your thoughts, emotions, experiences, and the patterns that shape how you relate to yourself and others. Together, we make the unseen more visible, bringing greater awareness to the beliefs, protective strategies, and emotional responses that often operate outside of conscious awareness.
Therapy is also a place to process the past, make sense of what’s happening in the present, and explore concerns about the future. As understanding grows, you’re often able to respond with greater intention rather than reacting automatically.
Understanding yourself is only part of the process. I also believe therapy should provide practical support. Together, we’ll develop tools to regulate emotions and your nervous system, communicate more effectively, express your needs with clarity, set healthy boundaries, and respond to life’s challenges with greater confidence and ease.
My approach is integrative and tailored to each individual and relationship.
I draw primarily from Internal Family Systems (IFS), the Gottman Method for couples, mindfulness, somatic therapy, and principles from Buddhist psychology.
Rather than following a single approach, I integrate these modalities based on your unique needs and goals. Together, we’ll work to better understand the patterns beneath your thoughts, emotions, and relationships while developing practical skills to communicate more effectively, regulate emotions and the nervous system, and create meaningful, lasting change.
I also offer psychedelic preparation and integration for individuals seeking support before or after a psychedelic experience.
Like many therapists, I’ve been shaped by my own healing journey. I’ve always been drawn to understanding how we relate – to ourselves, to others, and to the bigger picture. I believe we’re wired for connection, and that therapy can be a powerful space to untangle old patterns and reconnect to what’s true.
Clients often describe me as warm, intuitive, and honest. I bring a lot of presence to our sessions. Sometimes, we’ll be tuning into body sensations or inner parts; other times, we’re working through a tough conversation you had or exploring a belief that keeps coming up. There’s space for laughter, tears, and silence. All of ‘you’ are welcome.
Yes. One quote I come back to often is: “We are born in relationship, we are wounded in relationship, and we can be healed in relationship.” by Harville Hendrix. It reflects so much of how I understand therapy and healing.
I’m also drawn to reminders about our shared humanity, connection, and impermanence, such as Ram Dass’ “We’re all just walking each other home” and Rainer Maria Rilke’s “Let everything happen to you: beauty and terror. Just keep going. No feeling is final.”
There are many others that continue to shape me personally and professionally, but most return to the same themes: awareness, compassion, connection, and learning how to be more fully human.
The best part of my work is witnessing transformation, supporting people through challenge, and helping them experience a greater sense of calm.
My career has always centered around helping people better understand themselves and improve their well-being.
Before starting my private practice, I worked as a high school counselor, supporting students through academic, personal, and emotional challenges. I also worked as a wellness coach with Headspace, taught eight-week mindfulness programs in high schools, and served as an adjunct professor at George Washington University, where I taught stress management.
Earlier in my career, I owned a Pilates and Reiki studio. It was there that I began noticing clients naturally opening up to me about what was happening in their lives. Those conversations made me realize how much I loved creating a space where people felt heard, understood, and supported, which ultimately led me to become a therapist.
Each of these experiences continues to shape my work today. They contribute to my integrative approach and my belief that meaningful change comes through greater self-understanding, practical tools, and a strong therapeutic relationship.
I work with individuals and couples who want to better understand themselves and their relationships.
This often includes people navigating anxiety, grief, life transitions, or feeling stuck in patterns that no longer serve them. I also work with couples who want support with communication, rebuilding trust, deepening connection, or moving toward the next stage of their relationship.
Many of my clients have done some personal work already and are looking for a more meaningful, grounded way to move forward.
I am a Licensed Professional Clinical Counselor (LPCC) in California with advanced training in couples therapy, Internal Family Systems (IFS), mindfulness, somatic therapy, and psychedelic-assisted therapy.
My clinical training includes Gottman Method Couples Therapy (Level 3), Internal Family Systems (IFS), somatic approaches, mindfulness-based practices, and a certificate in psychedelic-assisted therapy through Naropa University. I recently completed additional training in Buddhist psychology through Spirit Rock, which continues to inform my work with mindfulness, compassion, and emotional well-being.
Before starting my private practice, I taught stress management and facilitated mindfulness-based programs in educational and wellness settings. My background also includes teaching Pilates, which deepened my understanding of the mind-body connection and continues to influence how I integrate nervous system awareness into therapy.
I regularly pursue continuing education so I can bring my clients thoughtful, research-informed, and integrative care.
