MA, JD, AMFT
​
I am a former lawyer and a trained mindfulness meditation teacher, now practicing as a registered associate therapist. Before entering private practice, I spent over a decade working closely with college students.
Welcome!
If you’re feeling anxious, overwhelmed, or stuck, you’re not alone.
I support teens, adults, parents, and couples who are navigating life transitions and longing for more ease, connection, and confidence.
I specialize in working with people who “live in their heads” and feel disconnected from their emotional lives. I integrate Somatic EMDR and mindfulness-based practices to offer therapy that fosters depth, connection, and meaningful change.

​Starting therapy can feel like a big step. My goal is to help you feel at ease, tune into your inner wisdom, and build momentum toward healing, resilience, and growth.

Who I Help
I provide therapy for teens (ages 13+) and adults, including individuals, couples, and families. I offer in-person therapy in Lafayette, California, and online therapy throughout California.
I specialize in individual therapy for anxiety, perfectionism, and self-esteem, and I frequently work with high-achieving professionals who feel stuck, overwhelmed, or burned out despite outward success. I also help clients navigate life transitions such as aging, caregiving, empty nesting, and divorce.
I also offer parent coaching for all parents—married, partnered, single, divorced, or never married—with a focus on parenting teens and supporting healthy family relationships. In addition, I provide co-parenting counseling for divorced or never-married parents.
