Short Description (199 characters max)
I work with Professional Women and Burnout and Couples, including open/poly and monogamous. LGBTQ+ and BIPOC affirming
Description (2950 characters max)
I specialize in working with high-achieving professional women who are on the edge of burnout—as well as their partners and families. Many of my clients are navigating intense personal and professional responsibilities, often giving so much to others that they lose touch with their own needs. I help them reduce stress, reconnect with themselves, and create a life/work combination that works for them. I believe that thriving doesn’t have to come at the cost of well-being.

My approach is warm, collaborative, and tailored to each client’s unique experience. I work using psychodynamic, strength-based, and collaborative principles, exploring underlying relational patterns and internal narratives, while integrating mindfulness, nervous system regulation, and dream work to support deeper insight and long-term transformation.

With couples, I draw from Emotionally Focused Couples Therapy (EFT), helping partners better understand their attachment needs, break out of reactive cycles, and create more secure, connected relationships.

I’m LGBTQIA+ affirmative and culturally sensitive, and I welcome individuals and couples in both monogamous and open/poly relationships. I particularly enjoy working with self-aware, creative, growth-oriented clients—even (and especially) when they feel overwhelmed or stuck.

I offer in-person sessions in San Marino, CA, and see clients online throughout California. I love networking and am happy to meet up for a coffee or hike in order to get to know you better as well!
