I am not your run of the mill therapist. My approach toward therapy is trauma informed, relational and integrated—inspired by  EMDR,  CBT, Mindfulness, Humanistic, Psychodynamic and Attachment Perspectives. I use a direct approach, mixed with humor and empathy. 

I offer a nurturing, humorous and direct approach.  I am not a therapist who sits and stares at you with a blank expression, but rather I am collaborative and curious and know support is vital. We are living in very hard times, and it matters that you have the right fit while you unpack your “stuff”. 

Together we address traumas, behaviors, and relationships that have triggered negative self-beliefs and interfered with the ability to meet potential.

​We can explore postpartum experiences, talk about conscious healthy parenting or navigate your fertility journey. We can attend to your relationship and family dynamics to allow for healthier communication and break negative cycles.

We mourn and grieve, and create new possibilities. ​We create deeper awareness around the factors that result in unwanted patterns and feelings, so you are able to take the actions needed.  

We do this together. 

I am passionate about supporting parents maneuver through parenting, with all its joys and challenges.​I have lived experience as the mom of a preemie, and a history of navigating IVF, a traumatic pregnancy and birth  and my sons developmental delays. I  believe in the intersection of psychotherapy and social change, and see the impact of intergenerational trauma. 

I see individuals, couples (including affair repair and co-parenting) and families (including with adult children). I see people in my Valencia office, my Sherman Oaks office and on telehealth.
