Approach
My work involves supporting individuals and couples tackle their emotional landscape, developing comfort with feelings and authenticity in relationships. By focusing on body awareness, I guide you to introspectively explore your experiences. This approach teaches you to be more grounded, feel centred, and respond less reactively to life's challenges. If you seek to understand your inner world and connect more with yourself and others, my calm, supportive space is for you.
I approach therapy from an attachment perspective, working with clients to discover how our childhood relationships impact our adult connections. I’m sensitive to the role of individual, collective and cultural trauma and how it has shaped our life’s experiences.
One of my specialties is working with those who are taking a look at sex and gender beyond heteronormative culture. I am sex-positive and kink-aware, with a focus on helping individuals navigate non-monogamy, polyamory and unique intimate relationships of all kinds.
I am deeply committed to supporting the LGBTQ+ community. I’ve worked with suicidal youth at the Trevor Project and have guided many young queer people in exploring their sexual attraction, gender, and identity.
I worked for a decade in the mental health field in Southern California before receiving my MA in Clinical Psychology from The Wright Institute in Berkeley. I am a registered Associate Marriage and Family Therapist, supervised by the Gay Therapy Center Founder Adam D. Blum, MFT, Lic. #44892. My rate is $125 per 50-minute individual therapy session and $150 per 50-minute couples session.
In my spare time I can be found in my art studio creating ceramic sculptures or designing floral arrangements and maintain balance in my life by practicing restorative yoga and mindfulness meditation.
I look forward to the opportunity of working with you and supporting you in reaching your full potential.
