Online in California
(Online Only)
What makes my practice unique is the presence, depth and care I bring to each session. I will meet you where you are and offer a compassionate space to explore the layers that exist beneath grief, loss, life transitions and trauma. My work is grounded in genuine connection and deep listening and I will offer a reflection of what I am hearing you say. This helps clients move toward healing and self-understanding at their own pace. If you are in need of someone to walk beside you I invite you to reach out. You're not alone.

I provide a nurturing, compassionate and nonjudgmental space where client of all ages-from teens to older adults -can feel seen, heard and supported. I specialize in helping people navigate grief, loss, life transitions, trauma, anxiety and relationship issues. Whether you're facing a major change, carrying an old wound or simply feeling that life is overwhelming, I'm here to walk beside you at your pace.
My approach is rooted in depth and Jungian psychology and a client-centered, relational way of working. I believe that the most transformative work in therapy comes from a strong trusting connection between therapist and client-and from that foundation, healing and growth naturally unfold.
I work with teens, seniors and everything in between. I have a special interest in supporting people through the unique challenges that arise at different life stages. My practice is currently fully online, offering you the comfort of engaging in therapy from your own space.
If you're looking for a therapist who will meet you with empathy, curiosity and depth, I invite you to reach out. Together we can create a path forward.
