Accepting Clients

Hello!! I am the therapist for people who ~would rather not~ go to therapy.

Associate Marriage & Family Therapist in Hermosa Beach, CA
Supervised by Dr. Vanessa Isetta, PsyD (PSY20941)

About My Clients

Are you self-aware and know something’s missing—but stuck on autopilot, overthinking, or performing your way through the day? When how you show up outwardly doesn’t match what’s really happening inside, it can get lonely. You’re not a robot (believe it or not) and together we'll create space to reconnect with your humanness. I love working with intellectualizers, skeptics, deep feelers, and anyone navigating or seeking change to move forward with more clarity & self-trust.

My Background and Approach

As a lifelong intellectualizer, I know how strange (and rewarding) it can be to step out of logic and reconnect with feeling. My approach is not one-size-fits-all. You're unique and your therapy will be too. I aim to help clients get curious. We'll work to understand experiences, inner critics, roles learned to play in relationships & their functions, and make space for the parts/people that may feel unseen, unheard, or stuck. I’m not here to nod silently or throw generic advice at you. My style is collaborative, curious, and real. I’ll meet you with warmth & honesty, ask thoughtful questions, and help you tune in to what’s going on beneath the surface. We’ll make space for both insight and action, so you may leave with more clarity, tools & intention (toward self-love & fulfillment).

My Personal Beliefs and Interests

I firmly believe in social justice and equality. It's important not only to empower marginalized voices and work to educate & destigmatize, but also lean into our individual autonomy in a way that promotes peace & love - especially in today's world.

I offer online counseling in the following states:
