About My Approach
Are you finding yourself stuck in the same old patterns and behaviors, even though you're aware of what drives them and where they come from? You are not alone! Insight is powerful and important, but it's only a piece of the puzzle.
In our work together we will combine deep and curious inquiry, with behavioral and solution-focused techniques. We will be co-travelers on a journey where you are the expert of your own experience. Not only will we work to support your healing but go beyond to help you to envision and build a rich, meaningful, value-driven life.
Acceptance and Commitment Therapy and Narrative Therapy form the foundation of my work, and I draw on techniques and wisdom from DBT, attachment theories, Mindfulness-Based Stress Reduction, and psychodynamic therapies. I am passionate about incorporating spirituality into my work with clients, supporting you in connecting with your spiritual self in whatever way you make sense of it. I believe that therapy is not “one size fits all” and we will collaborate and explore to discover what is most helpful for you. I actively work from a queer affirming, kink and poly friendly, anti-bias, systems-based lens. I am HAES and intuitive eating aligned.
Education and Training
After getting my undergraduate degree in psychology, I spent two years working at a residential OCD program in Los Angeles as an exposure coach where I trained in targeted treatment of anxiety disorders from an Acceptance and Commitment Therapy framework. I went on to receive my Masters of Marriage and Family Therapy from USC, where I was selected as a student ambassador. I completed my clinical training at Beit T’Shuvah, a faith-based, residential addiction treatment center in Los Angeles. I am certified by the American Society of Addiction Medicine. Since graduating, I have been invited back to the USC Marriage and Family Therapy Program to guest lecture about incorporating spirituality and religion into psychotherapy from a decolonized lens. I am currently working as an Associate Marriage and Family Therapist #133492 under the supervision of Gabriel Garcia, LMFT #99274 both virtually and in my office on Larchmont.
