About

I am a Licensed Clinical Social Worker (LCSW 78955) based in West Los Angeles, offering in-person therapy locally and virtual therapy to clients throughout California.

I specialize in working with individuals navigating fertility, healing from sexual trauma, and moving through life transitions that can feel overwhelming or isolating. Many of the people I work with are accustomed to holding things together on the outside while internally feeling overwhelmed, depleted, or disconnected.

I bring over a decade of clinical experience from community mental health, hospital, and school-based settings, and I continue to provide supervision to therapists in training.

Approach

My approach is collaborative, relational, and trauma-informed. Therapy offers a space to slow down, process what you’ve been carrying, and make sense of experiences that may feel difficult to put into words. Over time, we can begin to understand how these experiences continue to shape how you relate to yourself, others, and the world around you.

I integrate evidence-based approaches, including Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), psychodynamic therapy, and somatic modalities, such as Attachment-Focused EMDR and Sensorimotor Psychotherapy. This integrative approach allows us to work not only at a cognitive level, but also with how experiences are held in your body and nervous system.
