You become strong by doing the things you need to be strong for.
Being alive comes with the full range of human emotions and experiences, many of which are painful to endure or overcome on your own. I believe that everyone tries to do their best to cope with and manage difficulties to the best of their ability, but can feel isolated, overwhelmed, or ineffective. Sometimes the things we do to try to feel better or improve our situations seem to make things worse.
I believe that finding a therapist who can partner with you to seek a better way through life’s pain and hardships can make a difference. In treatment, I utilize psychodynamic and attachment theories that look to the past, as well as incorporating evidence-based approaches to increase insight, resilience, and acceptance of what’s happening in the present.
I hope to be a trusted partner that can support your therapy work with curiosity, care, and compassion. My utmost aim is that you can feel safe and supported, so that you find new ways of moving through all of life’s challenges.

More than just work
I love to talk about books, dogs, and Gilmore Girls. If you like any of these, we can find something to connect on!
My favorite core memories include singing in a choir, bobbing in the ocean at Huntington Beach, and riding bikes at dusk.
