Welcome

​Along with many people who find themselves living in Los Angeles, I am a transplant. I grew up on the east coast (in NY state, VA, and MD) and moved to Austin, TX as an adult. A few years later, I picked up and moved to Los Angeles. These moves have provided me with eclectic interests - I follow the NY Giants in football, the Maryland Terrapins and Michigan Wolverines in college sports, and catch LA Dodgers games when I can. I miss NY pizza and bagels, MD seafood (especially steamed crabs and crab cakes), and Tex-Mex. I am always looking for a new place to visit, both in the US and internationally.

​

I consider myself fortunate that I love what I do. That passion helps me be excited to learn through trainings, reading, writing, and teaching. I am honored to provide supervision to therapists beginning their career journey. I am LGBTQ+ affirming and do ongoing work related to my white privilege and other identities of power.

 

During our therapy sessions, I will be real with you. I will offer more than "mmmm" and "how did that make you feel?" (although I will say those things from time to time!). I bring my own lived experiences along with my knowledge and training to our work to help resolve your pain. We won't be able to prevent negative emotions or painful experiences from happening, but I can help you tolerate being in the muck while it lasts.​ We'll also be on the lookout for the laughter, joy, and rainbows in life.
