About

I’m a Licensed Marriage and Family Therapist, seeing clients in person in Lafayette and virtually throughout California. As a Bay Area native, I bring not only my professional training but also my lived experience into this work. I don’t believe therapy should feel like sitting across from a blank slate. Instead, I use myself in the room—my humor, my humanness, and the wisdom that comes from walking through my own challenges—to create an authentic relationship where healing can take root.

I work with adults, couples, and families navigating challenges such as childhood trauma, intimacy and attachment struggles, depression, anxiety, substance use, family conflict, and the pain of feeling stuck or disconnected. My approach is grounded in attachment and relational theory, with tools from Internal Family Systems (IFS), narrative therapy, dialectical behavioral therapy, and emotion-focused therapy for couples. These frameworks help us explore the different parts of you, the stories that have shaped you, and the relationships that continue to matter most.

For many of my clients, healing also involves exploring expanded states of consciousness. I offer ketamine-assisted psychotherapy and psychedelic integrative therapy as part of my practice, weaving these approaches into the larger process of self-understanding and relational healing. These modalities can soften defenses, bring hidden parts of you forward, and create openings for profound insight and transformation—always held in the safety of a supportive therapeutic relationship.

Therapy isn’t about “fixing” you—it’s about creating a space that feels safe, real, and deeply human. You deserve to feel seen and supported as you move toward greater balance, connection, and wholeness.
