I am a licensed Marriage & Family Therapist (LMFT) providing telehealth services to clients in California. With over 25 years of experience, I firmly believe that my clients are the experts in their own lives. My role as a therapist involves understanding and respecting my client’s experiences and collaboratively developing tools to support their ongoing journey.

I work with individuals seeking therapy for anxiety, depression, grief, women's issues, trauma/PTSD, and chronic illness/pain challenges. I'm experienced in treating relationship and family challenges. I maintain a body-positive, sex-positive, and LGBTQ+ friendly approach, welcoming different lifestyles without judgment.

Hi, I’m a licensed Marriage and Family Therapist who brings a fun-loving, nerdy vibe to the work I do. I love helping individuals and families understand each other better, and I have a special passion for neurodivergent folks—especially my fellow ADHD adventurers. I’m trauma-informed and not afraid to walk with you into the darker, trickier parts of your story so you don’t have to face them alone. My style is flexible, collaborative, and a little eclectic, pulling from EMDR, CBT, ACT, and family-focused approaches to find whatever actually helps you level up in life.

Psychologist

Virtual • California


If you’re feeling overwhelmed, stuck in patterns you don’t fully understand, or carrying the impact of past experiences, you’re not alone—and you don’t have to figure it out on your own.

I’m a licensed clinical psychologist (Ph.D.) with a postdoctoral fellowship in integrative health. I have experience working in public mental health, large healthcare systems, and the private sector. I’ve worked with adolescents and adults from diverse backgrounds navigating trauma, anxiety, depression, substance use, and major life stressors.

My approach is holistic, trauma-informed and culturally responsive, and I integrate evidence-based practices to help you better understand how your thoughts, emotions, behaviors, and nervous system interact. Clients often share that they feel both supported and gently challenged in our work together. I aim to meet you with empathy while also helping you move toward meaningful, lasting change.

I'm honored to be part of your journey of transformation. I approach sessions in collaboration, as you learn to free yourself from judgment, criticism, and pain; to change negative perceptions that do not serve; and to experience more ease and peace in life.
