About

COMING BACK TO YOU. I provide a warm and collaborative space where you can slow down, feel understood, and reconnect with yourself. Whether you are navigating anxiety, feeling disconnected in your relationships, or seeking a stronger sense of direction, we’ll work together to help you come back to yourself—feeling more grounded, clear, and connected. I work with individuals and couples navigating anxiety, disconnection, and major life transitions. Together, we'll uncover the deeper emotional and relational patterns shaping how you think, feel, and connect. By bringing curiosity to these cycles, we can soften the voice of judgment and move toward a place of greater self-trust, clarity, and intimacy with yourself and others. SPECIALIZATIONS & TRAINING. My approach is trauma-informed, attachment-based, and relational. I integrate evidence-based methodologies to support meaningful and lasting change, including: • Certified in Relational Self-Awareness (RSA): Based on the work of Dr. Alexandra Solomon (Northwestern University), offering practical tools for navigating modern relationships with greater intention and clarity. • Relational Life Therapy (RLT): Advanced Training in Terry Real's approach to breaking through defensive patterns that keep individuals and couples stuck. • Certified Clinical Trauma Professional (CCTP): Focused on healing trauma and helping the nervous system return to safety, regulation, and resilience. A UNIQUE PERSPECTIVE FOR CREATIVES & PROFESSIONALS. In addition to my clinical background, I bring a creative background from my years in the entertainment industry and as a photographer. This allows me to connect deeply with individuals navigating performance-driven environments, identity shifts, and the pressure to stay composed and capable, even when it feels like a lot. CLINICAL FOUNDATION & EXPERIENCE. Beyond my private practice, I have worked in substance use treatment and served as a supervisor with Cedars-Sinai’s TeenLine. This background provides me with a deep understanding of complex family dynamics, crisis intervention, and the long-term impact of early-life transitions on adult identity and relationships. LET'S BEGIN. Finding the right therapist is one of the most important parts of the process. If you’re looking for a supportive space to work through anxiety, relationship stress, or life transitions, I'd love to hear from you.
