Therapeutic Style
My therapeutic style blends Psychodynamic Therapy with Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), allowing me to support clients in both understanding the roots of their experiences and making meaningful, practical shifts in the present. I show up with warmth, lightness, and genuine curiosity, so that clients feel safe opening up from the very first conversation. I meet each person exactly where they are, and we work together to clarify what feels most important to focus on. My intention is to help clients: • Explore the deeper origins of patterns, beliefs, or emotional blocks • Build insight and self-awareness • Reclaim personal agency and strengthen self-trust • Create lasting, values-aligned change in their lives and relationships Clients often share that they feel seen, supported, and gently empowered in our work together. I hold space with compassion, while also helping you step into more clarity, ownership, and emotional freedom.
What Makes Me Unique
My experience spans a very diverse range of clients and life experiences from families living in poverty and crisis in Los Angeles to high-level executives, founders, and leaders in Silicon Valley. Because of this, I’ve developed a strong ability to connect across cultures, backgrounds, and identities with respect, empathy, and adaptability.
