start your journey
That sense of curiosity and rebellion inspired an early career in the performing arts and a second career as an entrepreneur, having Co-Founded a successful LA-based beauty brand. But despite those successes, I still yearned for a stronger identity and purpose. The process of self-interrogation led me to a Masters Degree program in Clinical Psychology at Antioch University, where I started to develop a deeper sense of self, alongside a heightened empathy for the world at large, and later receiving a certificate in Psychedelic Assisted Therapy from the California Institute of Integral Studies (CIIS), and The Multidisciplinary Association for Psychedelic Studies (MAPS).
I believe in the healing power of a therapeutic relationship. In a safe and accepting space, our relationship becomes a catalyst for growth and transformation. Together, we foster a deep connection and trust that enhances the therapeutic process, allowing you to explore and heal with authenticity and vulnerability.
Therapy Services
I work with clients aiming to strengthen trust in their intuition and internal authority, heal from family dysfunction by fostering security in relationships, and deepen empowerment through self-accountability and compassion. My approach supports spiritual connection, self-reparenting, life transitions, and overcoming perfectionism.
I am trained in attachment-based Emotion-Focused Therapy, Somatic Therapy, EMDR, and Internal Family Systems (IFS), which allow us to create new narratives through lived experiences. Inspired by the Irish concept of "Anam Cara" or "soul friend," I believe the therapeutic relationship is central to transformative growth.
My goal as a therapist is to be your guide on the transformative journey back to yourself. Through our collaborative work, we'll explore your inner life, untangle limiting patterns and beliefs, and cultivate a mind-body connection. In this more present, embodied space, life's challenges become opportunities for growth and transformation. Together, we'll sow the seeds for a new vision of your life.
My approach is multidisciplinary, incorporating Cognitive-Behavioral Therapy (CBT), Narrative Therapy, Solution-Focused Therapy, and psychodynamic principles. This provides a holistic framework for your self-discovery journey. I believe in a personalized and collaborative therapeutic experience where your lived experience holds significant importance. I am here to guide you on your path to healing.
CONNECT
In my work I discovered I felt most connected to the emotional and mental aspect of art—how does music, and other art forms, make us feel and heal? Psychotherapy allows me to blend creativity and an innate interest in the healing of others.
My approach to therapy is person-centered and strengths-based, meaning that I believe in empowering my clients to utilize their unique strengths and skills to overcome challenges and achieve their goals. I also believe that everyone has the capacity for growth and change, regardless of their past experiences. Using psychodynamic, relational, and dialectical behavioral approaches, I work with clients seeking to enrich their lives with a higher sense of satisfaction.
CONNECT
I work with folks grappling with depression, anxiety, relationship strain, grief, and life transitions. I specialize in serving LGBTQ+ and BIPOC communities, offering particular support for those recovering from religious trauma and conversion therapy. I also support those looking to understand and integrate psychedelic and other extra-ordinary experiences.
I provide relationship therapy for couples and polycules, rooted in a sex-positive, poly-affirming frame. Operating from the vibrant Bay Area, I extend my services across California via telehealth. If you're considering embarking on this journey together, I'd be delighted to arrange a complimentary consultation to explore our potential collaboration.
CONNECT
I’m an eclectic therapist who blends academic knowledge with lived experience to craft a unique therapeutic approach for each client. I’ve worked with a diverse array of individuals, with a focus on helping clients gain insight into their identities and challenges. My goal is to help clients understand that they struggle for a reason and are not "crazy." I specialize in shame-based trauma, body image issues, and OCD, and am dedicated to addressing unprocessed trauma when clients are ready. With a humanistic style, I meet clients where they are, avoiding any sense of superiority or presumption. Understanding the sensitive nature of therapy topics, I prioritize building a strong therapeutic bond, fostering trust, and ensuring clients feel safe to share without judgment.
