About Me

I am a licensed marriage and family therapist (#121945 California) working in private practice in Los Angeles. My pronouns are she/her/hers.

I hold a master’s degree in Counseling Psychology with an emphasis in Depth Psychology from Pacifica Graduate Institute (Carpinteria, CA). In 2018, I was awarded with an Early Career Scholarship from the International Association of Psychoanalytic Self Psychology (IAPSP). That experience fortified my theoretical / philosophical stance as therapist: to be a human among humans. I have continually pursued supervision and consultation from prominent thinkers and writers in contemporary relational psychoanalysis.

In my “previous life,” I studied literature, film, and media preservation/archiving and worked in museums, non-profit organizations, and libraries. Although my interest in psychology may seem worlds away from those endeavors, I have found many through lines. One such salient thread is “the past is alive” — and what we choose to include or exclude in our narratives of ourselves has major rippling effects. A deep appreciation for the ways we all attempt to make sense of our lives through story-telling and art-making has honed a sensitivity and humility that I bring to my work everyday.
