Therapy with me

I help clients with mind-body conditions, anxiety disorders, and complex trauma that expresses in bodily symptoms. I guide them to reconnect with their bodies, reset their nervous systems, and access easy, practical tools that empower them to reclaim control of their lives. I provide a safe harbor for healing and lasting resilience.

“Having overcome a chronic health condition myself, I understand both the complexities of psychosomatic conditions and the powerful transformation that is possible.”

My background

I am a Registered Yoga Teacher and a certified Trauma Sensitive Yoga Instructor (Bessel van der Kolk). I have provided various forms of trauma-informed care for over a decade.

Before becoming a therapist, I worked as a fashion designer in New York City for Calvin Klein, and later as a costume designer and production designer in Los Angeles.

In my free time, I enjoy movement, the creative arts, and spending time immersed in practices like dance, drawing, and play.

I have worked in intensive treatment settings including UCLA's Child/Adolescent Anxiety, OCD and Tic Disorder Clinic and UCLA’s RNH Intensive Partial Hospitalization program.

I combine:

• Somatic Experiencing

• Internal Family Systems

• CBT & DBT

• Narrative Therapy

• Expressive, Movement & Voice Arts

“As a lover of the arts, I innately understand the therapeutic effects of drawing, dancing and playing.  I've never understood why these practices are erased when reaching adulthood.”
