Compassionate, Evidence-Based Therapy in Los Angeles

My Approach: Structured, Supportive, and Collaborative

​​​

I specialize in Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT) and Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) — two gold-standard, evidence-based treatments that teach practical tools for managing thoughts, emotions, and behaviors.

​

I approach therapy as a partnership. We’ll set goals together, develop concrete strategies, and track progress as you gain new insights and skills. Sessions are compassionate, structured, and designed to help you apply what we discuss in real life.

​

I’m also an LGBTQIA+ allied clinician who values inclusivity, cultural humility, and trauma-informed care. Every client deserves to feel seen, respected, and supported in therapy.
