I am a licensed psychotherapist (MFC# 50193). I work with individuals, couples, and families. Prior to my work as a therapist, I began my education at The University of Illinois, receiving my undergraduate degree in Humanities from The New School. I earned my Masters of Arts in Counseling Psychology from Pacifica Graduate Institute. I completed my training and internship at The Southern California Counseling Center, and am a graduate of their Family Therapy Training Program.

My areas of clinical emphasis include working with depression, anxiety, relationship and intimacy issues, loneliness, self-esteem, addiction and recovery, couples therapy, professional transition, the so-called “quarter-life” and “mid-life” crises, professional transition, blended families, the effects of mental illness on families, as well as grief and loss.  I also lead groups for teenage girls, focused on understanding and navigating the effects of social media.

I concentrate on helping people choose ways of understanding their actions, context, and the people around them to enable them to live the kinds of lives they want to lead.
