Therapy is deeply personal. To me, it is sacredly relational.

When I invite someone into this work, I’m asking for honesty, vulnerability, and authenticity. I believe that kind of depth requires real presence on both sides. While the focus is always on you, I show up as a grounded and engaged human. When it serves the process, I allow myself to be known in thoughtful ways. Many of the folks I work with appreciate sitting across from someone who feels steady, attuned, and real rather than distant or overly clinical.

In a world that can feel fast, curated, and artificial, therapy remains one of the few spaces that is profoundly human. That matters to me.

I have been practicing therapy for eight years now, with the last 6 years offering virtual therapy to clients across California. It is a strange and wonderful job. Over the years, I have had the privilege of walking alongside so many thoughtful, capable, and courageous people. I am continually humbled by the depth and bravery my clients bring into the room.

In January 2025, I expanded my professional world and founded California Counseling Collective, where I supervise and mentor a team of associate therapists as they grow into their own clinical voices. I care deeply about mentorship, leadership, and building sustainable practices that feel aligned and meaningful.

I am also a co-founder of The Lightwell, a membership community supporting therapists as they build private practices in ways that honor both their humanity and their ambition. Supporting fellow healers and helpers is one of the most fulfilling parts of my career.

On the personal side, I have been married for over a decade, which somehow feels both long and quick at the same time. I am raising two magical, wild little humans who stretch me daily. We also have a deeply lovable and occasionally overstimulating dog who keeps life interesting. I feel most myself near the ocean, in the sunshine, listening to podcasts, eating something delicious. This year, my goal is to learn to surf.

If we work together, I hope you feel deeply supported and genuinely connected. I would be honored to learn about your story, your patterns, and the parts of you that are ready to be understood more fully.
