Life stressors are real and influence daily life and relationships. We can strengthen our resilience through connection and support. I am here to accompany you on your healing path.

My practice includes:

*individuals experiencing difficulties

*couples working through stresses

*families needing extra support

I bring a trauma-informed lens and a love of human diversity and draw on a range of modalities, including existential, humanistic, and psychodynamic. I also provide EMDR (eye movement desensitization reprocessing), when appropriate. I draw upon IFS (internal family systems) and mindfulness based approaches as well.

I will work closely with you as an individual, family, or couple to develop a tailored plan to work toward your goals.

Have questions? feel free to ask!

My Background

I have had the privilege of working in diverse communities and settings. I’ve represented victims of police misconduct, led workshops for women with disabilities in Uzbekistan, and provided end-of-life counseling. Across all of these experiences, I’ve been driven by a deep commitment to helping people tap into their own strength and resilience during difficult times. 

I studied developmental psychology and women’s studies at Barnard College, earned a law degree and spent several years working in civil and human rights, including international disability rights. I earned a master’s degree in East-West Psychology from the California Institute of Integral Studies, taught a course on death and dying through a cross-cultural lens, and earned a master’s in Counseling Psychology from the Wright Institute.

I look forward to supporting you.
