About Me

I am a psychotherapist, yoga/meditation teacher, and mom. Originally from the East Coast, I now call California my home. Reflecting this bicoastal identity, much of my work is located at the intersection of mind and body, science and spirituality, evidence-based practice and common humanity. In my free time, I enjoy reading, baking, joyful movement, and most of all spending time with my family and friends.

My Approach

The heart of my approach to therapy is a warm, supportive relationship where you feel understood, welcomed, and valued exactly as you are. As we get to know each other, we can begin to bring curiosity and compassion to the thoughts, emotions, and behaviors that are holding you back. Using the Internal Family Systems (IFS) framework, we can understand painful patterns, heal old wounds, and create meaningful change.
