Online in California
(Online Only)
Hello! Client's seeking therapy with me are met with dignity, warmth, attunement and deep care for their stories. I have a strong foundation in community mental health and ongoing work as a solo practitioner in private practice. I have also lived with a chronic illness for more than twenty years, a journey that has deeply shaped how I understand self-care, resilience, and what it means to show up for oneself—even in the presence of ongoing pain and discomfort. I understand how pain--both physical and emotional--can shape our inner worlds and influence how we move through our lives, sometimes leaving us feeling stuck in patterns that no longer reflect our values or our visions for the future. I love supporting people who are navigating similar terrain—whether that includes chronic illness or chronic pain, substance use and harm reduction, a complicated relationship to food and body, or experiences of anxiety, loneliness, depression, and a broader sense of dis-ease—offering a space for reflection, compassion, and meaningful change.

- Feminist Therapy Addresses how gender roles, power, and social inequality affect mental health. It empowers clients to challenge limiting beliefs and systems.

Our sessions are a space to listen closely to the wisdom that your body already holds—especially when it speaks through pain, fatigue, or illness—alongside your emotions, intuition, and the stories of your past, present, and the future you envision. Together, we explore what it means to live in relationship with a body that may feel unpredictable or demanding, while honoring the many parts of you that have adapted, survived, and continue to emerge. Although chronic illness and chronic pain can bring ongoing grief, frustration, and a sense of limitation, I hold a deep belief in our innate capacity to transform suffering into meaning, cultivate self-compassion, honor the grief, and create lives that feel aligned, connected, and worth living. It is my privilege to witness clients begin to relate differently to their bodies, their relationships, and their inner worlds as they practice connecting with and honoring their needs, even in the presence of ongoing symptoms.
