Let’s jump right in! Balance is a concept we frequently hear about and are encouraged to implement. It can be challenging to find “balance” when busyness is interwoven into our day-to-day. I prioritize supporting individuals’ exploration of what “balance” looks like and means to them. Our versions of “balance” fluctuate depending on life circumstances, anxieties, grief, commitments, interpersonal relationships, etc. 

I practice from the belief that the therapeutic relationship is a two-way street, creating room for conversation AND compassionate feedback. Curiosity is important as we make room for self-growth AND self-acceptance to coexist. In the initial phases of therapy, the degree of collaboration will vary from person to person, and I’m all for that! Therapy is nonlinear. We will figure it out together.

My clinical experience stems from working in residential, partial hospitalization, intensive outpatient, and outpatient treatment centers throughout Los Angeles since 2015. Specialties include: anxiety, depression, eating disorders, personality disorders, DBT therapy, relationships and working with high-achieving individuals.

I also specialize in working with the preteen, teen and the young adult populations; themes include academic & career pressures, life transitions, parent conflict, navigating friendships, romantic relationships, managing stress, and the overall exploration of evolving identities, interests and goals.
