    About Me


    I graduated with my degree in Marriage and Family Therapy from The University of Southern California. Prior to this, I received my bachelor’s from Occidental College. I worked in the Student Health Center at West Los Angeles College, supporting students through a range of presenting problems, and then spent four years at a group private practice in Torrance.

    As a clinician, I work from a humanistic/client-centered approach, prioritizing the therapeutic relationship and fostering a warm, non-judgmental space. My practice also borrows elements from cognitive and narrative therapy, which means that I help clients understand and challenge patterns of thinking that aren’t serving them, and deliberately craft stories about themselves that do.

    My Specialties

    Young Adults

    Since getting my start working with college students, I've always felt passionately about helping young adults. I recognize the unique stressors at this stage of life: pressures surrounding schooling, figuring out a career/first job, leaving home for the first time . . .  not to mention navigating relationships in the midst of it all. 

    I've worked with many young adults over the years to clear obstacles in their path, get clarity about what they want in life, and make it happen.

    General & Social Anxiety

    I know from experience how insidious anxiety can be. It has this awful way of seeping into every corner of your life, coloring your relationships and day-to-day experiences. And when it comes to social anxiety, constantly fearing the judgment of others can certainly put a damper on your own life goals. 

    I've had success helping my clients identify the roots of their anxiety, learn to challenge patterns of thinking that reinforce it, and master necessary relaxation strategies. 

    Creative Types

    From my work with clients in creative fields--designers, artists, writers, etc.-- I understand the challenges you might be facing. Imposter syndrome, loss of inspiration, fierce competition in a saturated market . . . we'll tackle it all together.
