About My Clients

I specialize in providing individual and couples therapy for women and their partners navigating major life events and/or dealing with the aftermath of trauma.

My Background and Approach

My focus has always been trauma work, with my first years as a licensed clinician being devoted to working with children in the LA foster care system. Through this early work, I observed first hand how trauma is frequently passed down and repeated throughout generations within a family. As a result, providing effective therapeutic support for adults, especially those caring for young children, became my passion. Using a combination of Mindfulness, CBT, and Gestalt Therapy techniques, I am able to empower my clients, and their partners, to become more self-aware, heal from past traumatic experiences, and more fully enjoy their lives.

My Personal Beliefs and Interests

I believe that most relationship advice focuses on tools that couples can use for connection without understanding that unresolved trauma causes people to be completely disconnected from themselves. And the more deeply we are disconnected from ourselves, the more desperate we are for that connection from our partners. This disconnection from self can create unhealthy and unrealistic expectations within a relationship, and cause a lot of frustration for a couple. Therefore, working on the relationship with your partner, means simultaneously working on the relationship with yourself. Being able to meet and communicate your own needs is the first step in being able to do the same with or for someone else.
