Welcome!
Let's figure this out together.
Understanding the why behind our thoughts, feelings, and behaviors can open us up to new possibilities and experiences.
Anxiety
Your anxiety makes sense, and it's absolutely treatable.
Life Transitions
Feeling like your life is upside down? Change is hard, but you don't have to navigate it alone.
Mood
You're not broken, you're not lazy – you're struggling, and that's different.
Self Esteem
That harsh inner critic doesn't get to have the final say about who you are.
Relationships
Feeling disconnected from your partner? Let's get you both back on the same team.
PMH-C
(Perinatal Mental Health Certification)
This isn't how you imagined motherhood would feel, and that's okay. You are not alone.
Welcome! I’m so glad you found your way here. Life has a way of throwing us curveballs–sometimes we feel stuck in old patterns, overwhelmed by big changes, or simply ready for something different. Whether you’re a teen figuring out who you want to be, an adult at a crossroads, a couple looking to rediscover each other, or a new parent navigating this beautiful chaos–you won’t have to figure it all out alone. My practice in Playa del Rey is a safe space where we can explore what’s not working, celebrate what is, and share a laugh or two along the way. You’ve already taken the hardest step by being here.

“Owning our story can be hard but not nearly as difficult as spending our lives running from it. Embracing our vulnerabilities is risky but not nearly as dangerous as giving up on love and belonging and joy—the experiences that make us the most vulnerable. Only when we are brave enough to explore the darkness will we discover the infinite power of our light.” — Brene Brown
“The body is our greatest ally in the healing process, as it holds the wisdom and resources necessary for healing.” — Peter Levine
