I provide psychotherapy to adolescents, young adults, adults, and couples online throughout California including but not limited to Los Angeles (West Hollywood, Brentwood, Venice, Santa Monica, Hermosa Beach. I have worked with adolescents, adults, college and graduate students, and people from marginalized communities. I also have extensive experience working with veterans and their families, first responders, musicians, artists, creative and entertainment industry professionals, and academics.
I specialize in supporting women, mothers, and couples navigating the complex and often overwhelming challenges of motherhood, infertility, the profound grief associated with termination for medical reasons (TFMR), aging, parenting difficulties, relationship concerns, life transitions, and various forms of grief. Drawing on my own experiences as a mother, I am uniquely attuned to the pressures women endure.
I help my clients navigate the therapy process in a caring way that sets them on a path towards self discovery, by building a collaborative relationship that instills hope and empowers them in their process. I have experience working with clients who are struggling with depression, anxiety, low self esteem, grief, and relationship issues. I also specialize in working with couples and families assisting them to cultivate and improve communication and healthy interpersonal relationships.
Many of the couples I work with feel stuck—arguing more, growing apart, or struggling to communicate in a way that feels connecting. I also support adults facing anxiety, self-doubt, and big life transitions, and teens who need a space to be heard, supported, and understood. If you're looking for real support from someone who’s down-to-earth, thoughtful, and easy to talk to—you’re in the right place.

Life can feel overwhelming when you're weighed down by unresolved trauma, relentless anxiety, or the pain of grief. You might find yourself stuck in ruminations that keep you from moving forward—whether you're a high achiever or someone just launching - mental health issues hold us back from reaching our full potential. Navigating a painful breakup or struggling with people-pleasing, humans can find themselves in patterns they can’t seem to break. But great therapy is transformational.
I work with teenagers, adults, couples, and families that have experienced difficulties in relationships, chronic illness, and adjustments to daily challenges we may all experience including anxiety, depression, work stress, and relationship stress.
Newport Institute has youth male and female programs located in Southern California, with residential homes for men and women in San Francisco and Los Angeles. They incorporate experiential practices into their patient’s schedules. These include yoga, equine-assisted therapy, cooking classes, and martial arts. Newport strives to provide a well-rounded program, so they also have life skills programs, career counseling and spiritual programs.
At Newport Academy, we address the root causes of self-destructive behaviors, not just the symptoms. We guide teens and their families to achieve long-term, sustainable healing by treating the underlying issues—such as trauma, depression, and anxiety—that catalyze substance abuse, eating disorders, and other co-occurring disorders. Incorporating clinical, experiential, and holistic modalities, our gender-specific treatment is family-focused and results-oriented.
We determine our self-worth by comparing our lives and judging ourselves against unattainable or unrealistic standards (hello, Instagram). I'm here to say, "I get it" and to provide breathing room when you don't feel like you’re good enough, or when you have hit your capacity. I work with individuals who want to feel better about their bodies and their relationship with food, people navigating a little thing called motherhood, those those hoping to get the most out of relationships.

Do you long for deeper connection, more clarity and peace. Or have you felt the tension of struggle in satisfaction of your relationships (friendships, romantic relationships or family of origin), or your relationship with your body, food or exercise? I want to help you thrive in your relationships, body and life.
Many of my clients learned to be independent, responsible, and hardworking at young ages, traits that have helped them be successful at school and work, but have made it difficult to ask for help, set boundaries, rest, and lean into joy. Along with anxiety, clients frequently struggle with guilt, low self-esteem, a need to be perfect, and often have insecure attachment styles in relationships. I also provide family therapy, friendship therapy, and psychological evals for immigration cases.
Are you someone who feels everything deeply and struggles to navigate your emotions? Do you have a hard time trusting yourself or feeling at home in your body? I help highly sensitive teens and young adults get comfortable in their feelings, build self-acceptance, and regulate their emotions. As you learn to trust yourself, your relationships and overall well-being can grow, too. If this resonates with you, I’d love to support you on your journey.
The clients I work with include individuals, couples, and families dealing with a variety of issues such as gender dysphoria, anxiety, depression, grief, life transition, and relationship issues. I work with a variety of ages including kiddos as young as 10.
My clients are thoughtful, self-aware adults and young adults who often feel stuck in patterns of self-doubt, burnout, or emotional overwhelm. Many grew up feeling unseen or overly responsible. They come to therapy longing for deeper self-trust, healthier relationships, and a sense of ease in who they are. Together, we work gently and honestly toward healing, clarity, and growth.

You put on a brave smile and say you’re fine when you know you’re not. You’re exhausted because you’ve been carrying the weight of the world on your shoulders. You’re isolated because you don’t recognize the woman you see in the mirror. You’re confused because you’ve lost sight of who you are. Even the relationships you care most about are now draining you. All your duties just keep piling on and you’re forced to keep bearing through it. Therapy can help untangle life's messiness.
It is my passion to work with clients who struggle with eating disorders, OCD and related issues. I know what it is like to struggle with all of these and I also know that healing is possible. My clients are some of the most caring and intelligent people I know. I aim to help you reclaim your life and build a life of meaning. I have had great success in helping people recover from all these struggles and in you defining what recovery means to you. I will always meet you where you are at.
I work with people who are struggling with life changes, grief from the loss of a loved one, the painful end of a relationship, low self esteem or self-worth, or challenges related to being an HSP. In therapy, you can find a safe and accepting space to process these painful experiences and together we work to break through barriers to happiness, build coping skills to navigate life's ups and downs with peace and ease, and heal emotional wounds that hold you back from being your authentic self.
