How I Work

In therapy, we can form the kind of relationship where you feel safe to look at the parts of yourself that are often overlooked. Life is complex and truth has many dimensions. And so do you. I aim to hold a reflective space where you don’t have to simplify who you are or what you’ve been through. In my work, honesty, authenticity, and contradictions are not only honored but celebrated. The process of beholding this complexity is what allows us to land on the strategic shifts that can give you more freedom in your life — and help you rewrite the inner narratives that are holding you back. It’s my belief that you have within you everything you need to make the kinds of changes you want to make, and I’m here to stoke your courage and support your clarity while you do. Building a compassionate relationship with your vulnerable sides is brave and important work, and I would be honored to hold space for your journey.

What Brought Me Here

Growing up in the Bay Area, I was born into a family of creatives and surrounded by diverse lifestyles and perspectives on healing. I’m grateful for the many lineages and voices that have shaped and illuminated my own perspective on therapy over the years. Additionally, I have a master’s in counseling psychology from The Wright Institute, where I received formal education and training in psychotherapy. I don’t think there is one “right way” to go inward, and I see my role as one where I support you in finding what works best for you. Before becoming a therapist, I worked in media production and artist management, helping artists to make sustainable lives through their creative work and reach others with their vision and story. I weave my respect for individuality, unique self-expression, and the drive to seek meaning and create beauty from our burdens in all that I do.
