I am a Licensed Marriage and Family Therapist based in Berkeley, California, where I maintain a private practice focused on trauma and relationship work. I received my M.A. in Counseling Psychology from The Wright Institute and have completed EMDR training, including the Flash Technique, as well as a two-year training program in ketamine-assisted psychotherapy.

Before becoming a therapist, I spent several years traveling and teaching English abroad, where I also completed a yoga teacher training and learned Buddhist meditation. These experiences continue to inform my attention to the relationship between the body, awareness, and emotional experience in my clinical work.

I integrate EMDR, somatic therapy, and parts work (IFS-informed), alongside psychodynamic and attachment-based approaches. I also work with couples using emotionally focused therapy. While I treat a range of concerns, including trauma, anxiety, and relationship difficulties, my focus is on helping clients understand and shift the deeper patterns that shape how they feel, respond, and relate.

I work with individuals and couples, including mixed-neurotype couples (such as ADHD and non-ADHD partnerships), as well as clients navigating complex or developmental trauma. I also offer adjunctive EMDR and ketamine-assisted psychotherapy for clients who are already working with a primary therapist and are seeking more focused, depth-oriented work.

My approach is collaborative, attuned, and grounded in careful pacing. This work tends to be a good fit for people who are interested in going beyond short-term coping strategies and are open to exploring their internal experience in a deeper, more sustained way.
