I’m a psychotherapist, yoga and meditation teacher, and mom with a longstanding interest in how emotional and relational patterns shape our lives. Originally from the East Coast and now based in California, my perspective has been shaped by both cultures—East Coast directness and intellectual depth alongside California’s attention to emotional awareness and embodiment.

I studied at Harvard University and Antioch University Santa Barbara, and am Level 2 trained in Internal Family Systems (IFS). My clinical approach also draws from Emotionally Focused Therapy (EFT) and psychodynamic frameworks. Nearly two decades of yoga and meditation practice and teaching run alongside this — shaping how I think about the relationship between body, emotion, and awareness, and informing a style of work that is attentive to what is happening beneath the surface of what gets said.

What I find myself most interested in, across different clients and different kinds of struggles, is the gap between understanding something and being able to actually live differently — and what makes it possible to cross it. I'm continually moved by people's capacity to develop a more honest, compassionate relationship with themselves and others when they feel genuinely met rather than managed.

Outside the therapy room, I enjoy reading, cooking, movement, and time with my family and community.
