My approach is centered around listening deeply and collaborating with you to assess your needs while offering thoughtful, empathic, and professionally grounded responses to the challenges you face. I aim to help you have healthier, more meaningful connections with those around you.

Rooted in care, hope, compassion and developmental theory, our work focuses on moving beyond old patterns that no longer serve you. I am passionate about helping you, your child, your adolescent, you and your partner or your family navigate the complexity of your experiences.

I believe that everyone deserves a safe space to process their thoughts, emotions and life story while feeling truly seen and understood without judgment to foster both personal and relational growth.

I have cultivated a knowledge base over the last 20+ years supporting pediatric, adolescent and adult patients find their way through complex emotional and relational hurdles with peers, school and family dynamics. I am trusted by physicians and schools across California due to my values of warmth, attunement, clinical insight and depth of care.

My priority is always to ground my work in witnessing your world, while integrating knowledge of developmental changes and hurdles, your unique history, attachment science and trauma-informed practice.
