About Me
Change is rarely easy and we shouldn't have to do it alone. Together in therapy, we'll build a strong alliance to understand what contributes to your the past, present, and future.
If you're looking to tackle issues like anxiety, self-esteem, perfectionism, phase of life transitions, your relationship with your body and food, or are just looking to become unstuck from old patterns, you're in the right place.
My past lead me to this work after spending decades in the competitive dance world and constantly setting unrealistic expectations for myself. Burnout from the physical demands of dance led me to a career in advertising and tech prior to deciding to follow a calling to help others heal. I now understand how we unconsciously internalize certain unhealthy myths about ourself, our bodies, and our feelings. Learning patience and self-compassion gave me a new sense of freedom I didn’t know was possible.
My style is warm, engaging, and non-judgmental while also offering honest and direct feedback when appropriate. Therapy looks different for each unique individual. Over time, we’ll explore multiple modalities and challenge ways of thinking that no longer serve you. Based on my own experiences, I'm passionate about using your strengths and creative expression as a powerful tool for healing and growth.
As an Associate Marriage & Family Therapist, I am currently practicing at Unfolding Self Psychotherapy under the supervision of Gaea Woods, LMFT #117978. I see clients both in-person in Los Feliz and virtually throughout California.
